To start enjoying the most advanced
television picture available, first read the
important information contained in this
user’s guide. It is filled with information
that will allow you to enjoy your Explorer
3170HD Set-Top for years to come.
Once you’ve read the user’s guide, call
your cable service provider. To activate
your service, you must provide them with
the serial number of your set-top. You can
locate this number on the back of your set-
top, or on the outside carton label. This
number is very important so you will want
to be sure to jot it down with the other
information requested on page 7.
