Safety
20
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid
touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
21
Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing
to authorized service personnel.
22
Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
23
Do not place the receiver in an enclosure (such as a cabinet) without proper ventilation.
24
Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or
more than 113°F. If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately. Let it sit
unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plugging it in.
25
Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. During an
electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the
receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. This will provide additional
protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
26
Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may
overtighten the connections and damage your equipment.
Note to Satellite TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the satellite TV system installer's
attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Proper Care of Your Equipment
• Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can damage equipment.
• If the equipment is turned on and needs to be moved, unplug the equipment and let it sit for at least 30
seconds before moving it.
• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer will void the Limited
Warranty.
• Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices as this can cause heat build-up and
vibration.
