6) Have your DIRECTV HD Receiver professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it
yourself) if:
4 The power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed
4 Liquid has spilled into the product or it has been exposed to water
4 The receiver has been dropped or damaged
4 The receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance
4 The receiver does not operate normally when you follow operating instructions as
described in this manual and its Troubleshooting section.
7) Protect your components from power surges by connecting all the components
before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. Use of a surge protector is also
recommended.
8) Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of fire or
shock. It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking
label or in this manual.
9) Always unplug the DIRECTV HD Receiver, TV and other equipment before you
connect or disconnect any cables.
10) Always unplug your DIRECTV HD Receiver before moving it. Also, unplug it during
lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
11) Protect power cords by routing them so they will not be walked on or pinched in any way.
12) Avoid audio hum or interference by inserting all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Also, place Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the sides of the TV back panel rather than
down the middle once connected. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them
away from A/V cables as much as possible.
