For your safety

Your set-top box has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but you must take care if you want to obtain the best results and operate it safely.

It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions below. If you have any doubts about the installation, operation or safety of your set-top box,

please consult your dealer.

The model number, serial number and electrical rating of this set-top box are on a label on its base.

WARNING!

Remember that contact with 230 V AC mains can be lethal or can cause a severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:

Never remove the top cover from your set-top box. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside it, but there are some high-voltage live parts.

Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made.

Do not connect any of your equipment (set-top box, TV, video

recorder etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected all the other leads.

Disconnect your set-top box from the mains supply (by disconnecting

its mains lead from the mains wall socket) before you disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.

Never push anything into the holes, slots or other openings of the set-

top box case (except a smart card into its correct slot).

CAUTION!

4 In order to ensure a free ﬂow of air around the set-top box, allow at least 5 cm

of space above and around the set-top box.

8 Never stand your set-top box on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not cover any

ventilation slots.

8 Do not place your set-top box in an unventilated cabinet or on top of a unit

which emits heat (e.g. a TV or VCR).

8 Do not place your set-top box in a cabinet with more than one other piece of

audio/video equipment, for example, VCR or DVD.

8 Do not use or store your set-top box in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.

8 Do not put anything on your set-top box which might drip or spill into

it. Never stand objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your set-top box.

8 Never place naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your set-top

box.

8 If you move your set-top box between locations at different temperatures, allow

it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.

Welcome to digital satellite TV!

Updates to your set-top box

❖

From time to time, your set-top box may be updated. These updates provide enhanced features; new screens and menus may become available. Although any new screens and menus may look a little different from those described in this User Guide, you should be able to use the same techniques (e.g. highlight and select) with them.

Updates will usually happen in the middle of the night. You should not unplug your set-top box at the mains, as this may affect any updates which may occur.

Inserting the batteries in your remote control

❖

Before you can use your remote control, you must insert the two supplied AAA batteries as follows:

1. Push the catch at the top of the remote control battery cover down, then lift off the cover.

2. Insert the batteries as shown below. Be sure to match the + and – marks on the batteries to their respective marks inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover, by inserting the tab at the bottom of the cover ﬁrst, then pushing the cover into place.

www.strongsat.com

8 Don’t leave ﬂat batteries in your remote control.

4 Replace both batteries at the same time.

8 Do not dispose of used batteries with your domestic rubbish.

4 Used batteries should be recycled at the end of their useful life.

What else do I need?

❖

Smart card

If you wish to view premium services, you will need a smart card. This is available from your service provider, Viasat.

Satellite dish

You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct satellite(s).

If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct satellite(s), you

will need to make adjustments. Please see the information supplied with your dish/LNB for details on how to do this, or seek professional advice.

If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer to recommend

a local dish-installation engineer.

Single LNB

If you have one LNB only, to ensure the simplest installation method, and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should use the ‘Sirius’ satellite, at 5° East. However, if you prefer, you can set up your system for any one of the four satellites listed in the LNB positions table below.

Multiple LNB set-up

If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with 2 or more LNBs/satellite dishes, to ensure a simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should connect up the LNBs to the DiSEqC™ ports as shown in the LNB positions table below.

You must then connect your DiSEqC™ unit to the satellite input on your set-top box (see also pages 8 and 9).

Note

If your telephone wall socket is not an RJ11 socket (shown right), you will need to use one of the supplied adapters. If your telephone wall socket is an RJ11 socket, you may need a splitter (not supplied) so that you can plug in both your set-top box and your telephone.

1. Insert one end of the supplied telephone lead into the telephone socket (labelled ) on the rear panel of your set-top box.

2. Choose the correct adapter for your location. If you are not sure which one to use, compare with your telephone connector.

Insert the free end of your supplied telephone lead into the RJ11 socket on the

adapter.

3. Remove your telephone connector from your telephone wall socket. Insert your telephone connector into the correct socket on your adapter.

Insert the adapter into your telephone wall socket.

Inserting your smart card

❖

1. Take your smart card from its packaging (if you have not already done so). Make sure that the picture is facing upwards, and that the gold chip (underneath) is nearest to the slot when you insert your smart card.

2. Insert the smart card into the smart card slot of the front panel of your set-top box. Insert it as far as it will go, without forcing it.

Installation

Taking care of your smart card

Do not remove and re-insert your smart card unnecessarily.

❖

Once you have safely made all the other connections, you can connect your set-top box to the mains supply.

WARNING

DO NOT connect the mains plug to the wall socket until you have made ALL the other connections.

1. Using the supplied mains lead, insert the set-top box mains connector into the mains input (marked AC 230V 50Hz) on your set-top box, as shown in the diagram below.

2. Connect the mains plug to the mains wall socket as shown in the diagram below.

3. If there is a switch by the mains wall socket, switch it on.

4. Connect your other equipment to the mains supply.

www.strongsat.com

Notes

Your set-top box operates with 230 V AC, 50 Hz mains supplies.

Do not connect it to a DC power supply.

The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the other. You should always insert the 2-way connector into your set-top box

before you insert the plug into the mains supply. The only way to disconnect your set-top box from the mains is to remove the mains lead. Your set-top box must therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.

If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a competent electrician.
