SAFETY

This STU exceeds International Safety Standards but you must
exercise care when using it.  Please read the following
recommended safety precautions carefully, and exercise care at
all times when connecting or disconnecting any of FOXTEL’S
equipment from a power source.

MAINS SUPPLY

: 192-288  V (220/240 V) AC 50 Hz.

LIQUIDS

: Keep liquids away from the STU.

CLEANING:

 Before cleaning, disconnect the STU from the wall

socket. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water (no solvents) to
clean the exterior.

VENTILATION:

 Do not block the STU ventilation holes. Ensure that

free airflow is maintained around the STU. NEVER stand the STU
on soft  furnishings or carpets. Do not use or store the STU
where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater. Never
stack other electronic equipment on top of the STU.

ATTACHMENTS

: Do not use any attachment that is not

recommended by the manufacturer, as it may cause a hazard or
damage the equipment.

CONNECTION TO THE  SATELLITE DISH LOW NOISE BLOCK
(LNB)

: The LNB connector cable has a voltage on its centre core.

It is therefore recommended that the STU is disconnected from the
mains power before connecting or disconnecting this cable.

FAILURE TO DO SO COULD DAMAGE THE LNB AND/OR GIVE A
MILD SHOCK

.

Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Any

attempt to do so will be against your terms and agreements.
