You must operate your home terminal 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.
Overloading

outlets as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, disconnect the antenna, cable system and telecommunication
line cord from your home terminal. See also item 13 in the

Do not place your home terminal on an unstable or uneven surface.
Your home terminal may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult and serious damage to your home terminal. If you mount your
home terminal, 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

for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your home terminal
and to protect it from overheating.

terminal 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 home terminal in a built-in installation such
