  • Page 5: Safety Information

    Safety information Your HD recorder is powered using a 12 V power supply unit. Your HD recorder has been manufactured to meet the appropriate safety standards, but you must follow the below instructions to operate it safely. Keep these instructions for future reference. Danger • Your HD recorder does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open it. All maintenance work must be carried out by qualified service centres. • The supplied mains plug is a non-rewireable type. If you need to replace the fuse, you must use an ASTA- or BSI-approved BS 1362 fuse, rated at 3 A and marked as shown below. The plug has its fuse beneath a fuse cover on its face. Use a screwdriver to lever off the fuse cover, replace the fuse with a new one and refit its cover. Never use a plug if its fuse cover is missing. The fuse is inside the rewireable plug. Use a screwdriver to remove the plug’s back cover. Never put the plug into the mains socket when its cover is removed. Lever out the fuse and replace it with a new one. Replace the plug’s back cover. FUSE of correct value If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket-outlet, DO NOT plug it in.
  • Page 6 Warnings • Before connecting the 12 V power supply unit to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on it. If the mains voltage is different, consult your local dealer. • The 12 V power supply unit has been designed for indoor use only. • Use only the original 12 V power supply unit. • Unplug the 12 V power supply unit from the wall socket before lightning storms. • Ensure that the 12 V power supply unit is easily accessible in case you need to shut down your HD recorder in an emergency. • To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose your HD recorder to rain or moisture. • Place your HD recorder on a firm surface, and do not cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table clothes, curtains, etc. • Do not install your HD recorder near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other equipment that produce heat. Protect it from direct sunlight. • In order to ensure a free flow of air around your HD recorder, allow at least 5 cm of space above and around it. This prevents overheating of your HD recorder. • Do not place any combustible objects such as candles, etc., on your HD recorder. • Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your HD recorder. Do not place anything on your HD recorder that might drip or spill into it. If this happens, disconnect the 12 V power supply unit from the wall socket and have your HD recorder checked at any authorized service centre. • While the hard disk is running, do not move the product or turn off the power suddenly. The company shall not be liable for any corruption of data on the hard disk caused by the carelessness of or misuse by users. • The batteries installed in the remote control should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. Please also pay attention to all the warnings and cautions listed throughout this manual. Important...

  • Page 7: Reducing Power Consumption

    Reducing power consumption Your HD recorder is designed to reduce its impact on the environment and complies with the European Directive 2009/125/EC. This is part of Philips’ ongoing commitment to lead the way in environmental responsibility. It has a standby mode of operation that needs very little power. See the table below and please note that: • When your HD recorder is in the standby mode, you save energy (and therefore money) and reduce carbon dioxide emissions that damage the environment. • You use the standby button on your HD recorder or remote control to switch between on and standby modes. In addition, if your HD recorder is on, but you do not press any button on it or your remote control for 3 hours (configurable - see ‘Automatic eco mode’ on page 30), your HD recorder will automatically get into the standby mode. • If you are not going to use your HD recorder for several days, you can cut its energy consumption to zero by unplugging it from the mains wall socket. • In the off and standby modes, your HD recorder cannot receive updates from the network. However, at recorder wake-up, you will be prompted by a message if an update notification has been received.
