REMEMBER, SAFETY FIRST
Using equipment safely
MyStar has been manufactured to meet Australian safety standards, but you must take care if you want it to perform
properly and safely. You must have MyStar installed by a qualified satellite-TV installer.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions below. If you have any doubts
about the installation, operation or safety of your MyStar set top box, please contact AUSTAR.
MyStar HD uses the same cabling as MyStar, so as long as you have MyStar cabling in your home, you should be
able to connect MyStar HD yourself, as it’s a simple cable swapover.
The following information applies to both MyStar and MyStar HD. For simplicity, we will refer to both set top boxes
as “MyStar”.
To avoid the risk of electric shock
• Disconnect MyStar from the mains supply before you connect it to (or disconnect it from) any other equipment.
Remember that contact with 240 Volt AC mains can be lethal or cause severe electric shock.
• Never remove the set top box’s cover. Should the set top box fail, contact AUSTAR Customer Service to arrange
repair or service.
• Never allow anyone to push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case (except the Smartcard).
• Do not block the set top box’s ventilation slots; never stand it on soft furnishings or carpets.
• Do not put anything on the set top box which might spill onto it (eg. Lighted candles or containers of liquids).
If an object or liquid gets inside the set top box, unplug it immediately and contact AUSTAR Customer Service.
• Do not store the set top box in excessively hot, cold or damp conditions. MyStar is intended to operate at an
ambient temperature of less than 40 degrees Celsius and a maximum humidity level of 90%.
• In case of a storm, it is recommended that you unplug MyStar from the mains and from the TV set.
• Leave the mains socket accessible so that you can unplug it quickly.
Connecting to the mains supply
• MyStar must be connected to a conditioned 240V power source.
• This set top box operates within the range of 100-240 VAC, 50Hz mains supplies. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO DC MAINS.
• If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, the plug or connection, please contact AUSTAR Customer Service.
Note: Some channels on AUSTAR have still images, such as a channel logo appearing on the screen. Television sets,
particularly rear projection sets, can sometimes be damaged by still images being shown frequently. You should
check the manufacturer’s guide for more information.
