Safety Instructions
Before installing your digital satellite receiver, all security and operating instructions should be
read carefully. The User’s Manual should be retained for future reference.
All operating and using instructions should be followed.
Never allow children to operate this electrical device without supervisor.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Protect the receiver against humidity, heat and cold. Allow 10cm space around the receiver for
sufficient ventilation. Do not cover the receiver’s ventilation openings with items like
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. .
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the satellite-receiver.
Take care that no foreign bodies or liquids are getting into the device.
Do not expose the set-top-box (receiver) to dripping or splashing liquids.
CONNECTING TO ANTENNA
Before connecting to the power supply the receiver must be cabled completely.
Attention: The total current consumption of all devices (LNB, multiswitch, …) connected to the
IF-Input must not exceed 300mA. The connected antenna must be grounded correctly.
Please note the VDE prescriptions.
CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY (SAFETY FEATURE!)
Connect the mains cable to a well reachable mains supply socket 230V~ 50Hz only. Do not
tilt, do not use disproportionate power and do not damage the receiver’s power socket and its
electrical connections when connecting the power cord. If the power cord should fail to fit,
contact your supplier.
FAILURE
If the power cord or the power socket or its electrical connection is damaged, immediately
unplug the mains cable from the mains supply socket. Do not try to open or repair the receiver
on your own! Service must be carried out only by experts at a proper service centre.
If replacement parts are required, only original components are allowed to use. The use of
unauthorised components may result in risk of fire and electric shock.
Image interfaces by programmes with a frequency of approx. 12480 MHz (SAT. 1, Pro Sieben,
Kabel 1 etc.) can possibly be caused by cellular phones, which are located near the receiver
or the antenna cabel. If so the distance between receiver and telephone should be enlarged
until the problems stop to emerge.
