Safety
Safety Tips
Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords; this can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or elec-
trical shock.
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.
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 ser-
vicing to authorized service personnel.
Proper Care of Your Equipment
Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can
damage the hard drive.
Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
Always turn the receiver off, unplug it and let it sit for at least 30 seconds before
moving it.
The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufac-
turer will void the Limited Warranty.
Do not place the receiver in an enclosure (such as a cabinet) without proper ventila-
tion.
Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices as this can
cause heat build-up and vibration.
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 immedi-
ately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plug-
ging it in.
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.

On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may
cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user
guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV, what operat-
ing/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV war-
ranty coverage.
