TDC777D INSTALLER’S MANUAL (502-3432110)

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 the 
set-top, please observe the precautions discussed in this document.

Other warnings

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

Do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing the set-top yourself will 
invalidate the warranty.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this set-top to 
rain or moisture.

On the rear panel of the set-top there is a tamper-evident label that states 
‘Warranty void if broken or removed’.

To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk, do not pick up or move 
the set-top while it is connected to the wall AC outlet. If you want to move 
the set-top, first stop any recording, then turn off the set-top and wait 60 
seconds before disconnecting it. You should handle the set-top carefully, as 
any damage you cause to the internal hard disk (or any other component) 
will invalidate the warranty.

Installation

The installation of the 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the apparatus.

manufacturer.

by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a
