Safety Instructions and Precautions

1. MAINS SUPPLY

AC 100 ~ 240V 50/60Hz Max 1.0A
Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult local
power company. Disconnect the receiver from the mains before you start any
maintenance or installation procedure.

2. OVERLOADING

Do not overload a wall outlet, extension cord or adaptor as this may result in electric
fire or shock.

3. LIQUIDS

The receiver should not be exposed to any liquids such as dripping or splashing. In
addition, no objects filled with liquids, such as vase, shall be placed on the apparatus.

4. CLEANING

Disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a light damp cloth
(no solvents) to dust the receiver.

5. VENTILATION

The slots on top of the receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the
unit. Do not stand the receiver on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not stack electronic
equipment on top of the receiver.

6. ATTACHMENTS

Do not use any unsupported attachments as these may be hazardous or cause
damage the receiver.

7. CONNECTION TO THE AERIAL

Disconnect the receiver from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the cable
from the aerial. Failure to do so can damage the aerial.

8. CONNECTION TO THE TV

Disconnect the receiver from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the cable
from the aerial. Failure to do so can damage the TV.

9. EARTHING

The aerial cable must be buried in the ground. The buried cable of the system must
comply with SABS 061.

10.LOCATION

Place the receiver indoors to avoid exposing it to lightening, rain or sun. Do not place
it near a radiator or heat register.
Make sure it has more than 10 cm clearance from any appliances susceptible to
electromagnetic influences, such as TV and VCR.
Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate
ventilation and that you have followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting.
Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it
can fall.
A falling product can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to
the appliance.

11.LIGHTENING, STORM, or NOT IN USE

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the aerial during a lightening
storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightening and power-line surges.

12.EXTRANEOUS OBJECTS

Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch
dangerous voltage points or damage parts.

13.REPLACEMENT of PARTS

When the replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional
damage to the unit.

Warning

1. Follow these directions in order not to damage the power cord or plug.
Do not modify or process the power cord or plug arbitrarily.
Do not bend or twist the power cord too much.
Make sure to disconnect the power cord with the plug held.
Keep heating appliances as far as possible from the power cord in order to prevent
the cover vinyl from melting.

2. Follow these directions. Failure to follow one of them may cause electrical shock.
Do not open the main body.
Do not insert metals or inflammable objects inside the product.
Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand.
Disconnect the power cord in case of lightening.

3. Do not use the product when it is out of order. If you continue to use the product
