SAFETY INFORMATION

1.

GENERAL SAFETY

Read this manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions given. For your 
safety, know what the reaction upon each action will be. Do not perform any actions which are 
not described in this manual, failing to do so might result in an uncontrolled behavior of the 
receiver or even in a hazardous situation for persons and/or equipment.

Disconnect the receiver from the mains before you start any maintenance or installation 
procedures. Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If required, 
clean with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution.

Consult an authorized service technician if the receiver does not operate normally when the 
instructions in this user manual are strictly followed. Do not to attempt to open the receiver, as 
you will be exposed to a shock hazard.

To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not put any objects on top of the receiver 
which:

contain liquids, such as vases, glasses, bottles, etc.

contain an open heat source or open fire, such as candles, cigarettes, ash trays, etc.

could fall through the ventilation slots or which could cover them and prevent proper 
cooling of the components inside.

Make sure that nothing rests on the receivers cables and that the cables are not located 
where they can cause injury to persons and pets (e.g to stumble over, eat the cable).

Do not install the receiver:

in a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet;

directly on top of or under another equipment;

on a surface which will obstruct the ventilation slots. 

Do not expose the receiver and it’s accessories:

to rain or excessive moisture to avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to your 
receiver;

to direct sunlight, heaters, stoves or any other heat generating equipment;

to any magnetic objects, such as speakers, electric motors, transformers, etc.;

to excessive vibration.

To help avoid possible damage to the receiver’s electronics:

wait 5 seconds after you switched off the receiver before you move the receiver or 
disconnect any equipment;

2.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

When you use or connect electrical equipment, always obey the safety regulations as 
applicable in your country, to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and personal injury.

Read and comply at least with the given safety instructions.

Do not put any (foreign) objects into the ventilation slots. This can cause fire or an 
electrical shock by shorting the internal components.

Always make sure that the electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the 
electrical identification plate at the rear of the receiver next to the electrical cord.

Your receiver is double insulated in compliance with the standards as stated in the 
EC Declaration of Conformity; therefore no additional earth wire is required, though the 
use of an earth leak switch and/or over voltage protection switch is recommended.

Only use an approved extension (convenience) lead suitable for the electrical power 
consumption of the installed equipment.
