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 are
on a label on its base.
You must operate your set-top 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 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.
Lightning
For added protection for your set-top during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect the
cable system from your set-top. See also item 13 in the Important Safety
Instructions.
Ambient temperature
The operating temperature range of your set-top is 32-104°F. If the ambient
temperature around your set-top falls outside this range, you must correct
this in order for your set-top 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 is not directly on top of or underneath other
equipment.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the casing of your set-top are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your set-top and to protect it
from overheating.
• Never block the ventilation openings by placing your set-top 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 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 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 for
sufficient ventilation.

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