SAFETY INFORMATION

In order that you may enjoy this product for a long time it is important
that you observe the following points when installing and operating
your receiver

This receiver is intended for the reception of TV picture and sound
signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.

Do not expose the receiver to any moisture. The receiver is intended
for use in dry rooms. If you wish to operate it in the open air, make
absolutely sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashes, etc.).

Do not place any object filled with water (vases or similar) on the
receiver. 

Place the receiver on a flat and hard surface. Do not place any
objects (e.g. newspapers) on the receiver.

If placed in an enclosed unit, the all-round distance between the
receiver and the sides of the unit must be at least 10cm.

Do not place the receiver in the immediate vicinity of a heat source
or in direct sunlight as this would prevent appropriate cooling.

During a thunderstorm it is recommended that you disconnect the
receiver from the mains and aerial to prevent damage from
lightning strikes.

Never open the receiver as this will invalidate your guarantee.

Do not dispose of used batteries in normal waste. Please dispose of
them at appropriate collection points.

If you are not using the receiver for a long time (including
overnight), please switch it off at the mains. This saves energy. Note
that any software upgrades can take place at night at your request.

This product has been constructed with the environment in mind.
There is a minimum of plastic parts and the packaging is largely
made from recycled paper. It is also disassembly-friendly allowing
for easy recycling at the end of its life.
