If interference is still present, it is recommended that good quality
screened cables (preferably double screened) are used for
interconnecting all other equipments to the decoder.
Adding a Modem
Many exciting interactive features will be available in the future (Impulse Pay
Per View, Video on Demand, etc.). The decoder is ready for these features
as it can accommodate an optional built-in modem. A modem port for
connection to your telephone line via an external (faster) modem is provided
on the rear panel.
Standby and Normal Modes
The decoder does not have a mains power on/off switch and it is
recommended that, for normal viewing, it remains connected to the mains
after installation.
When the decoder is not in use, it should be switched to the standby
mode using the
symbol on the front panel or on the RCU.
The standby mode is indicated by a constant small green dot on the right of
the decoder display panel. To use the decoder after the initial installation:
1
Switch on the TV and any other equipment included in the system.

Select the channel on the TV that you have allocated for viewing the
satellite services.

RCU or decoder front panel, to return to the normal viewing mode. A
service number will be displayed on the front panel indicator.
