Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
Heed all Warnings-Comply with all warnings on the set-top box and
operating instructions.
Power - This set-top box is supplied with AC power. To prevent electric
shock, ensure the adaptor is inserted correctly into the power
outlet.
Power Sources- This set-top box should only be operated with the
ratting specified on the label on the back panel of the set-top box.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home or office,
please consult your set-top box dealer or electrician. For set-top boxes
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and
broken plugs are dangerous, They may result in a shock or fire hazard.
Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicate damage or
deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
Power-Cord Protection- Power-supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or damaged by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to the point where they exit
from the set-top box.
Ventilation- Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation
to ensure reliable operation of the set-top box and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the set-top box on a
bed, sofa, rug, or heat register. This set-top box should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a book case or rack, unless proper ventilation
is provided or the set-top box manufacturer's instructions have been
followed.

set-top box manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects
filled with liquids ,such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline operated equipment or accessories
connected to this unit should bear safety certification mark on the accessory itself
and should not be modified so as to compromise the safety features. This will help
avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact a
qualified service personnel.
Accessories- Do not place this set-top box on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The set-top box may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult as well as serious damage to the set-top box. Use this set-top box only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer's

excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause damage to the set-top box.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the set-top box, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian
Electrical Code, Part1) provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna can be
hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer.

a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set-top box.
Lightning-For added protection for this set-top box during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the set-top box due to lightning and power line surges.
