SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS
11
1. Instructions
Ready carefully through the safety- and oper-
ating instructions before switching the unit on.
2. Supply-voltage
Operate the Receiver only from a supply volt-
age of 230 V and 50 Hz supply frequency. The
unit is not be connected up to the supply before
the installation work is completed.
3. During thunderstorms, or before long periods of
absence, always switch the unit off at the power
switch on the unit.
4. Grounding
The parabolic antenna must be correctly
grounded in accordance with regulations. The
relevant regulations must be complied with (i.e.
VDE in Germany or equivalent elsewhere).
5. LNB-supply-voltage
If the feeder system (LNB) is going to be sup-
plied from an external supply voltage, the LNB
supply on the receiver must be set to "Off" (see
Basic Setting Menu). Otherwise there is a risk
that the receiver may be destroyed.
6. Installation
All electronic equipment gives off a certain
amount of heat simply as a matter of physics.
The heat generated lies within a safe range
however. Slight changes in the surface color of
delicate furniture and veneers cannot however
be excluded when subject to the constant ef-
fects of heat over a prolonged period. Color
changes can similarly be brought about due to
contact between the rubber feet on the unit and
treated furniture surfaces. Therefore in critical
cases place the unit on a suitable underlay.
7. Ventilation
The heat generated in this unit will be dissi-
pated satisfactorily. Never install the receiver
unit in a cupboard, stand or rack where there is
inadequate ventilation.
Never close-off those openings in the unit that
were specially designed to dissipate heat out of
the unit.
Do not place objects on the unit.
Maintain a clearance of at least
5 cm above the unit, so that the heat generated
within the unit is carried away without any hin-
drance.
8. Humidity
Guard the unit against humidity, drips and
splashes.
9. Do not place the receiver close to radiators or
place in a position exposed to direct sunlight.
10. Pay attention that children do not insert objects
into the ventilation slits.
Risk of an accident.
11. Cleaning
Withdraw the power plug before cleaning the
unit. Use a damp cloth to clean the unit.
12. Repairs
Repairs and adjustments to your receiver
should only be carried out by qualified special-
ists. An unauthorized opening of the unit auto-
matically incurs the loss of any guarantee.
