OPERATING THE SET-TOP
Turning the set-top on and off
After you have connected the set-top to the wall AC outlet (and switched this outlet ON, if it has a switch), the
light around the
POWER
button on the set-top’s front panel should be red.
Wait for a few seconds, then press the
POWER
button on the front panel of the set-top to turn it on. The light
around the
POWER
button goes green, to show that the set-top is on.
If the light around the
POWER
button is neither red nor green, there is a problem (see page 35).
To turn the set-top on or off at any time, press the
POWER
button on its front panel or the
POWER
button on
the remote control (first making sure the remote control is set to control the set-top).
Never turn off the set-top by simply disconnecting it from the power supply. If you need to disconnect the
set-top, first stop any recording. Then turn off the set-top by pressing the
POWER
button on its front panel
or on the remote control, so that the light around the
POWER
button goes red. Then wait 60 seconds before
disconnecting the set-top from the wall AC outlet.
Power Saving: To save power and money, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, turn off
the set-top, using the power button, when it is not in use.
Using the remote control
The cable TV service-provider determines the digital channels, services, and screen information that you see
on the TV when you use the set-top and its remote control.
Consult the information supplied by the cable service-provider for details on how to make the most of the
digital cable services. Also read the operating instructions that are supplied with the remote control.
Lightning storms
Disconnect the set-top’s power cord during lightning storms. A lightning storm may affect the set-top, if it
is on during the storm. It may appear that it has stopped working, but you can easily restore its operation as
follows:
Unplug the set-top’s power cord from the wall AC outlet. Then plug this power cord in again at the wall AC
outlet (and, if there is a switch by this outlet, switch it to its ON position).
NOTES
IMPORTANT: Unless there is a
lightning storm or you will be away
from your home for a long time,
do not unplug the set-top from the
wall AC outlet (or do not switch it
off there, if the outlet has a switch).
The set-top cannot be updated with
new features, through the cable,
if it is disconnected from the AC
power supply.
The light around the button
changes from red to green.
To turn the set-top on,
press the
POWER
button.
