SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)
In addition to the Important Safety Instructions, please read the Safety
Information below.
Power sources
The model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this set-top box
are on a label on its base.
You must operate your set-top box 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 set-top box between locations at different temperatures, allow it
to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
Overloading
Do not overload wall AC outlets, extension cords or other power outlets as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
To avoid possible damage to your set-top box or to a connected TV or
component, all AC power cords must be plugged into properly wired
outlets. As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective
components, or the failure to connect your set-top box to a properly wired
outlet, may cause sparking, property damage or damage to any TV or other
component connected to your set-top box and pose a fire hazard.
Lightning
For added protection for your set-top box during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect your
set-top box from the power supply and disconnect the cable system from
your set-top box. See also item 13 in the Important Safety Instructions.
Ambient temperature
The operating temperature range of your set-top box is 32-104°F. If the
ambient temperature around your set-top box falls outside this range, you
must correct this in order for your set-top box to work correctly and safely.
For example, if the temperature is too high, make sure there is sufficient
ventilation (see below) and that your set-top box is not directly on top of or
underneath other equipment.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the casing of your set-top box are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your set-top box and to protect it
from overheating.
• Never block the ventilation
openings by placing your set-
top box on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Place it
on a hard, flat surface.
• Never cover the ventilation
openings with items such as
newspapers, table-cloths, or
curtains.
• You can place your set-top
box near other consumer
electronics devices, such as
stereo amplifiers or televisions,
but you must not place it directly on top or underneath them.

• Do not place your set-top box in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and you have
adhered to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Maintain a minimum distance of three inches around your
set-top box for sufficient ventilation.

Water and moisture
Do not expose your set-top box to rain or moisture, dripping or splashing,
and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on
your set-top box. See also item 5 in the Important Safety Instructions.
Entry of objects and liquids
Never push objects of any kind into your set-top box 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 box.
Transporting
Move the combination of set-top box and cart with care. Quick stops,
excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the combination of
set-top box and cart to overturn. See also item 12 in the Important Safety
Instructions.
Placement and mounting
Do not place your set-top box on an unstable or uneven surface. Your
set-top box may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious
damage to your set-top box. If you mount your set-top box, 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 box.
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 box, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that your set-top
box is in its proper operating condition. See also item 14 in the Important
Safety Instructions.
