Plug the 3240HD and the TV into an AC power source.
Important:
To protect the 3240HD from power surge damage, ground (earth) your cable
product to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. To
avoid these voltage surges that can be caused by lightning storms and power outages, plug
the 3240HD into a surge protector in order to reduce the risk of damage.
Do not turn on the 3240HD or TV yet.
It may take several minutes for the 3240HD to receive the latest software, programming, and
service information. Wait until you see one of the following displays on the front panel of the
3240HD that indicates that the update is complete:
• Current time
• Four dashes (- - - -)
Note
: If four dashes are displayed, you must call your cable service provider to get the
3240HD
authorized.
To begin watching TV, turn the TV ON, and press POWER on the front of the set-top
