- Do not open the unit 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.

2.2 Periods of non-use

During a storm or lengthy period of non-use (e.g. vacation), 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.

2.3 Important notes on operation

Operation of the digital receiver is simplified through 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 screen, and can be controlled by means of 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 colored bars at the bottom of the screen. In
the various menus, these colored bars represent different functions, which can be implemented by pressing
the appropriately colored keys (multi-function keys) on the remote control. The "function keys" are only active
when a brief description is displayed in the appropriate 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 help text and press again to close
the help window.

2.4 Important information on data security

Before handing your receiver over to your supplier for maintenance purposes, we recommend that you
remove all storage media or 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.

2.5 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 span, 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.

2.1 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 these discharge currents, mains operated devices (receivers, TVs, etc.) must always be
installed or connected with the power switched off, i.e., devices must be disconnected from the mains
power supply.

- Only operate the receiver 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 unit, which may also heat it up.

- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.

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 labeling.
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 sent to your
regular household refuse site, but are correctly disposed of (either in special bins for problem waste, or at
collection points at specialist dealers).
