Safety Instructions: Dell Internal PCIe PAL/SECAM/DVB-T Desktop TV Tuner User's
Guide
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read when connecting and operating your TV Tuner to help ensure your own
l
personal safety and to protect your product from potential damage.
Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
l
Heed Warnings - All warnings on the product and the operating instructions should be adhered to.
l
Grounding - For continued protection against risk of electric shock and fire, this accessory should be installed only to the products (such as, computer)
l
equipped with a three-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the
l
host system (Ex. computer) from the wall power outlet, and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
Never insert anything metallic into the TV Tuner openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
l
Openings in the TV Tuner cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using
l
the TV Tuner on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the cabinet. If you place the TV Tuner in a
bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and air flow.
Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other light or power circuits, or where it can
l
fall into such power lines or circuits.
Antenna Installation - When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep it from touching such power lines or circuits,
l
as contact with them may be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure that the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
l
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Article 810.21 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Caution for users/installers in Norway - In Norway, there exists a possibility of a hazardous situation due to voltage difference between the screen of
l
the coaxial cable of the cable distribution system and the local equipment earth (typically, earthed chassis of the PC system). To avoid any hazards,
antenna/cable input connection from the TV tuner card to a Cable Distribution System must be provided through a galvanic isolator (not included).
NOTE to CATV System Installer-This reminder is provided to call the CATV systems installer's attention to Section 820.93 of the National Electric Code,
l
ANSI/NFPA 70:2005 (for US/Canada) and/or EN60728-11:2005 standard (for Europe), which provide guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specify that the Coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
