Now that you’ve unpacked the Explorer
3170HD Set-Top from its carton, you’re
ready to connect it to your HDTV and
other electronic devices. Follow these
steps and use the connection diagrams on
the following pages to connect the set-top
to your HDTV and other devices.
WARNING:
Electric shock hazard! Unplug all
electronic devices before connecting
or disconnecting any device cables.
1. Unplug all electronic devices before
connecting the set-top.
2. Contact your cable service provider and
ask them to turn on cable services for
your set-top. Be prepared to give them
the serial number from the back panel
of your set-top. You should have
written this number down on page 7 of
this guide.
Note:
If you do not contact your cable
service provider, your set-top will not
be able to receive some or all of the
available services.
