❖
Important
This set-top box is designed to reduce its impact on the environment and complies with
European Directive 2009/125/EC . This is part of ARRIS’s ongoing commitment to lead the
way in environmental responsibility .
It has an extra mode of operation known as “passive standby” that needs very little power,
certainly much less than is used in traditional (active) standby . See the table below and
please note that:
◆
By using the passive standby mode you will save energy (and therefore money)
and reduce carbon dioxide emissions that damage the environment .
◆
You use the standby button (
S
) on your remote control (or on the front panel
of your set-top box) to switch between On and active standby .
◆
If you do not press any button, your set-top box will go into active standby
automatically after 4 hours, then after 1 hour, it will go to passive standby (this
is the factory-set value, but you can change it) . Note: Your set-top box cannot
receive any updates from the network in passive standby .
◆
If you will not be using your set-top box for several days, you can cut its energy
consumption to zero by unplugging its 12V power-supply unit from the mains .
