Safety recommendations

Use of the receiver is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.
Where to put your receiver?
In order to guarantee the correct operation of your receiver, you must:
• place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and sun rays,
• place it in a dry and well ventilated area,
• keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, candles, lamps,
etc.
• protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from where it
will not fall and is out of reach of the children,
• do not place anything on top of your receiver (as it would restrict
ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing prevent
your receiver from overheating. If you place the receiver in a
compartment, leave a space of at least 10 cm on each side and
20 cm on the front and back of the receiver,
• connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the socket
must be near the receiver and easy to access. The use of an
extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.

Warnings and safety instructions

NEVER OPEN THE RECEIVER! YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
• Use only the power cord supplied with the receiver to connect it to the mains. Other
practice may be dangerous.
• Connect the receiver to the mains in accordance with the installation instructions in this
document and the indications mentioned on the identification label (voltage, current,
frequency of electricity network).
• As a precaution, in case of danger, the mains adapters act as a disconnecting mechanism
for the 230V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the receiver to a
power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.
• The receiver must be used within a temperature range of between 0 °C and 40 °C.
• You must imperatively connect the power cord to the receiver before connecting the power cord to the
power socket.
• To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not expose your receiver to dampness. Do not
place any object containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance. The receiver must not be
splashed with liquid. If liquid is upset onto the receiver, unplug it immediately from the mains and
consult your supplier.
• Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the receiver through the ventilation slots.
• Avoid reconnecting the receiver after it has been subjected to large changes in temperature.
• The receiver must be disconnected from mains supply (from the power outlet or rear panel) before any
modification of connection between TV, VCR or antenna.
• In the event of a storm, it is advisable to unplug the antenna. Even if the receiver and the television set
are disconnected from the power supply, lightning can still damage them.
• Only a personnel approved by the manufacturer can repair the receiver. The non-observance of these
safety precautions can result in forfeiture of the guarantee.
