Preface
Unpacking and installing the
product
Once removed from the transit packaging, the
AmiNET125 must be handled with care and must
not be dropped, shaken or exposed to any physical
shock.
The AmiNET125 is designed to be mounted either
horizontally or vertically on a hard flat surface.
Do not place the AmiNET125 where it may be
subject to physical shock or vibration or where the
product may drop, topple, slide or shake as this
may cause personal injury or irreparable damage to
the product, which will not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not operate the AmiNET125 on a soft surface
such as carpet, rug, bed etc as these surfaces will
obstruct airflow, may cause the product to overheat
and will invalidate the warranty.
Do not install the AmiNET125 into any built-in
installation such as bookcase or rack without
ensuring that a minimum of 4” of clear space is
available at the front, rear, sides and top of the
product.
Do not install the AmiNET125 where it may be
exposed to direct sunlight or radiant, convected or
conducted heat from an open fire or radiator.
The AmiNET125 should not be placed on any
surface that may become warm in use (such as on
top of a VCR or A/V amplifier) and nothing should
be placed on top of the AmiNET125.
Do not cover the AmiNET125.
Objects containing liquids, such as vases,
flowerpots etc must not be placed on top of the
product.
Do not pick the product up or move the AmiNET125
whilst it is operating. If the product must be moved,
please pull the mains power cord out of the wall
socket and wait 30 seconds before moving the
product.
The AmiNET125 is not suitable for outdoor use.
The leads and power-supply cord must be routed
where they cannot be walked on, chafed, tripped
over or pinched by items being placed on or against
them. Power-supply cords must not be routed
underneath carpets or rugs where any damage
could not be seen.
Power sources
The AmiNET125 must ONLY be used with the
power supply supplied by the manufacturer. The
power supply is fitted with a plug that is designed
for use with the power source of the country of
installation. If it is necessary to operate the product
in another country or geographical area with a
different power source, an approved adapter for that
country or location must be obtained from the
manufacturer.
Operation
The AmiNET125 and power supply will get warm to
the touch when in use. If the AmiNET125, power
supply or attachments become hot to the touch,
immediately unplug the AmiNET125 from the mains
electricity supply and call your service provider to
arrange replacement.
Lightning protection and not in use
If lightning is expected, or the product is not going
to be used for a long period of time, please unplug
the mains cord from the wall outlet, unplug the
digital TV network connection from the rear of the
product and unplug the video and RF leads to the
Television. This will help protect the product from
damage due to lightening and power surges.
Use with Plasma displays
When used with certain display types, such as
Plasma displays, it is important that the picture is
not paused for a long time (greater than 5 minutes)
as the image displayed may then be ‘burned’
permanently into the screen of the display device.
This effect is not a defect of the AmiNET125 but a
limitation of the display device. Amino
Communications Limited will not be held liable for
damage thus caused.
