SAFETY INFORMATION

This digital set-top has been manufactured 
and tested with your safety in mind. 
However, improper use can result in 
potential electric shock or fire hazards. 
To avoid defeating the safeguards that 
have been built into your set-top, please 
observe the precautions discussed in this 
document.

Warnings on your set-top

The lightning flash with 
arrowhead symbol, within a 
triangle, is intended to alert you 
to the presence of uninsulated 
“dangerous” voltages within 
your set-top’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude 
to constitute a risk of electric 
shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a 
triangle is intended to alert you 
to the presence of important 
instructions in the literature 
accompanying your set-top.

Other warnings

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do 
not remove the cover of your set-top. 
There are no user-serviceable parts inside it.

Do not perform any servicing unless you 
are qualified to do so by pace. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel. 
Servicing the set-top yourself will 
invalidate the warranty.
On the rear panel of your set-top there 
is a tamper-evident label that states 
“Warranty void if broken or removed”.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, 
do not expose this set-top to rain or 
moisture.

INSTALLATION

The installation of your set-top should 
be carried out by a qualified installer and 
should conform to local codes.

Note to the installer

This reminder is provided to call the 
attention of the cable-TV-system installer 
to Section 820-40 of the National 
Electrical Code (USA), which provides 
guidelines for proper grounding and, in 
particular, specifies that the cable ground 
shall be connected to the grounding 
system of the building, as close to the 
point of cable entry as is practical.

In addition to the Important Safety 

Instructions, please read the Safety 

Information below.

Power sources

You must operate your set-top only 
from the type of power source indicated 
on the marking label. If you are not 
sure of the type of power supply to 
your home, consult your dealer or 
local power company. If you move your

If you move your 

set-top between locations at different 
temperatures, allow it to reach room 
temperature before you apply power to it.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension 
cords or other power outlets as this can 
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Lightning

For added protection for your set-top 
during a lightning storm, or when it is left 
unattended and unused for long periods 
of time, disconnect the cable system from 
your set-top. See also item 13 in the 
Important Safety Information.

Placement and mounting

Do not place your set-top on an unstable 
or uneven surface. Your set-top may fall, 
causing serious injury to a child or adult 
and serious damage to your set-top. If 
you mount your set-top, for example to a 
wall or ceiling, follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions and use a mounting accessory 
recommended by the manufacturer. See 
also item 12 in the Important Safety 
Instructions.

Risk of fire or scorching

Never place naked flame sources, such 
as lighted candles, on or adjacent to your 
set-top.

Ambient temperature

The operating temperature range of 
your set-top is 32-104°F. If the ambient 
temperature around your set-top falls 
outside this range, you must correct this in 
order for your set-top to work correctly 
and safely. For example, if the temperature 
is too high, switch on the air conditioning.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the casing of your 
set-top are provided for ventilation, to 
ensure reliable operation of your set-top 
and to protect it from overheating.
•  Never block the ventilation openings 

by placing your set-top on a bed, sofa, 

rug or other similar surface.

•  Never cover the ventilation openings 

with items such as newspapers, table-

cloths or curtains.

•  Do not place your set-top in a built-

in installation such as a bookcase 

or rack unless proper ventilation is 

provided or you have adhered to the 

manufacturer’s instructions.

•  Maintain a minimum distance of 1 inch 

around your set-top for sufficient 

ventilation.

See also item 7 in the Important Safety 
Instructions.

Transporting

Move the combination of set-top and 
cart with care. Quick stops, excessive 
force and uneven surfaces may cause 
the combination of set-top and cart 
to overturn. See also item 12 in the 
Important Safety Instructions.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, 
be sure that the service technician 
has used replacement parts specified 
by the manufacturer or that have the 
same characteristics as the original part. 
Unauthorized substitutions may result 
in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 
See also item 14 in the Important Safety 
Instructions.

Safety check

Upon completion of any servicing or 
repairs to your set-top, ask the service 
technician to perform safety checks to 
determine that your set-top is in its 
proper operating condition. See also item 
14 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Entry of objects and liquids

Never push objects of any kind into 
your set-top through openings as they 
may touch dangerous voltage points or 
short-out parts that could result in fire 
or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any 
kind on your set-top.

Water and moisture

Do not expose this set-top to dripping 
or splashing and ensure that no objects 
filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed 
on your set-top. See also item 5 in the 
Important Safety Instructions.

FUTURE REFERENCE

Regulatory 

information

CAUTION: Do not attempt to 

modify your set-top without written 

authorization from the manufacturer. 

Unauthorized modification could 

void your authority to operate your 

set-top.

Epilepsy And  

On-screen Images

Certain people are susceptible to epileptic 
seizures or losing consciousness when 
faced with certain types of flashing lights in 
our daily environment.
These people are exposed to the risk of 
seizures if they watch certain television 
images. This phenomenon may appear even 
when the subject has no previous history 
of this problem or has never suffered an 
epileptic seizure.
If you, or a member of your family, has 
already suffered symptoms linked to 
epilepsy (seizure or loss of consciousness) 
in the presence of stimulation by light, 
please consult your doctor before using 
this product.
If you or any person using the equipment 
experiences dizziness, involuntary 
movements or convulsion, please 
immediately stop viewing and consult a 
doctor.

NOTE

Your set-top has been tested and found 
to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential 
installation. Your set-top generates, 
uses and can radiate radio-frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may 
cause harmful interference to radio 
communications.
However, there is no guarantee 
that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If your set-top 
does cause harmful interference to 
radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning your set-top 
off and on, you are encouraged to try 
to correct the interference by one or 
more of the following measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving 

antenna.

•  Increase the separation between 

your set-top and the receiver.

•  Connect your set-top to an outlet 

on a circuit different from that to 

which the receiver is connected.

•  Consult your dealer or an 

experienced radio/TV technician for 

help.
