Dear customer,
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the Digit ISIO S2 digital receiver.
The operating manual supplied is intended to help you to utilise the comprehensive functions of your new digital receiver to the fullest extent. We have kept the operating instructions as brief as possible and have used terminology that everybody can understand.
The range of functions of your receiver is constantly being expanded by means of software updates. This means that additional steps in the operation may be added that are not yet described in this operating manual, or the operation of existing functions may be changed. For this reason you should occasionally visit the TechniSat homepage, to download the latest version of the operating manual.
We wish you many years of viewing pleasure with your TechniSat Digit ISIO S2!

3 Please read this first
Before connecting and using the device, first check that everything has been supplied and familiarise yourself with the safety instructions.
You should have received:
1 digital receiver, 1 quick start manual, 1 CD-ROM,
1 remote control, 1 mains power cable, batteries (2 x 1.5 microcells)
3.1 Safety advice
For your own protection you should read the safety precautions carefully before using your new receiver.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by inappropriate handling, or by non-compliance with the safety precautions.
Function-related discharge current may occur with electrical equipment. This is acceptable and poses no risk, even if it is experienced as a slight tingling.
To prevent such discharge current, mains operated devices (receivers, TVs etc) must always be installed or connected with the power switched off, i.e. all devices must be disconnected from the mains.
-The receiver must only be operated in a temperate climate.
-To ensure adequate ventilation, place the receiver on a flat, horizontal surface and do not place any objects on top of it. There are ventilation slots here to allow heat to be dissipated from the interior of the unit.
-Do not place any burning objects, such as lit candles, on top of the receiver.
-Do not expose the receiver to water droplets or water spray, and do not place any objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on top of it. If water gets into the unit, immediately disconnect the mains plug and inform the service department.
-Do not operate any sources of heat near the TV which may also heat it up.
-Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.
5
-Do not open the TV under any circumstances! You risk receiving an electric shock. Any necessary repairs to the receiver should only be carried out by qualified service personnel.
In the following circumstances you should disconnect the device from the mains power and consult an expert:
>the power cable or mains plug is damaged
>the device has been exposed to moisture or liquid has got into it
>there are significant malfunctions
>there is severe external damage.
3.2 Periods of non-use
During a storm or lengthy period of non-use (e.g. holiday), the receiver should be disconnected from the mains and the antenna cable removed.
Before you disconnect the receiver from the mains, you should first switch it to standby mode and wait until the time appears in the display or the red LED light is displayed.
3.3 Important notes on operation
Operation of the digital receiver is simplified by the use of so-called "On Screen Displays" (OSD). This also means that the number of keys on the remote control unit is reduced.
All functions are displayed on the screen, and can be controlled by using just a few control buttons.
Functions that are logically related are combined into a "MENU". The selected function will be highlighted.
The red, yellow, blue and green function keys are indicated by coloured bars at the bottom of the screen. In the various menus, these coloured bars represent different functions, which can be implemented by pressing the appropriately coloured keys (multi-function keys) on the remote control. The function keys are only active when a brief description is displayed in the relevant field.
The button identifications and terms that appear in the OSD menu are shown in bold type in this operating manual.
Help: where available, press the blue function key in the menus to display the help text; press again to close the help window.

3.4 Important information on data security
Before handing your receiver over to your dealer for maintenance purposes, we recommend that you remove all storage media and data carriers.
Restoring data is not part of maintenance or repair work. TechniSat accepts no responsibility for the loss of, or damage to, data during repair work.
3.5 Remote control/Changing the battery
> Open the cover on the battery compartment at the rear of the remote control by pressing gently on the point indicated and pressing in the direction of the arrow.
> Insert the supplied batteries, ensuring that the poles are the right way around (indicator visible in battery compartment).
> Close the battery compartment again.
3.6 Disposal advice
The packaging material used for your receiver consists entirely of recyclable materials. Please sort the components appropriately, and dispose of them in line with your local waste disposal regulations.
At the end of its useful life, this receiver may not be disposed of with your regular household waste. It must be taken to a recycling collection point for electrical and electronic equipment.
This is indicated by the 
symbol on the product, the operating manual or the packaging.
The materials used can be re-used in accordance with their labelling.
By ensuring that valuable raw materials in old equipment are re-used, you can make a valuable contribution towards protecting our environment.
Please contact your local authority for the location of the nearest recycling point.
Please ensure that dead batteries from the remote control and electronic waste items are not included with your regular household refuse, but are correctly disposed of (either in special bins for problem waste, or at collection points at specialist dealers).
