Safety Tips
Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration
can damage the hard drive.
•Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper
ventilation. Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic
devices as this can cause heat build-up and vibration.
•Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than
40°F or more than 113°F. If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in
immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes
before plugging it in.
Operate the receiver using only the power source type indicated on the marking
label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
•Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of
fire or electrical shock.
Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the
objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause
fire or electrical shock.
Ensure that the outdoor parts of the antenna system are grounded in accordance
with local, state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
•Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme
care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be
fatal.
•Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty.
Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For
added protection during a lightning storm, or when the receiver is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and
disconnect the telephone line. This will provide some protection against
damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time
may cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your
TV user guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV,
what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and
associated TV warranty coverage.
