If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm
and are connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you
should operate your computer using AC power mode. The AC
adapter offers some protection against (but does not entirely
prevent) possible electric shock caused by lightning. For
complete protection, do not operate your computer during a
thunderstorm.
Transmission quality may vary by location and channel.
For best results in recording or viewing, your computer requires the
use of an external Set-top box or Cable Box using a high quality
signal as the main source. Failure to comply with these instructions
will not produce optimum recording or viewing quality. For more
information, see
