2. 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,
• avoid violent shocks. Choose a stable, horizontal surface on
which the receiver will not be exposed to intense vibrations.
• 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 OR THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT! YOU RISK GETTING AN
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
• Use only the power supply unit supplied with the receiver to connect it to the mains.
Other practice may be dangerous.
• As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply unit act as a disconnecting mechanism
for the 230 V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the receiver to a
power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.
• Connect the receiver to the mains in accordance with the indications mentioned on the identification
label affixed on the receiver (voltage, current, frequency of electricity network).
• The identification label is located under the receiver or on the rear panel.
• You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the receiver before connecting the power
supply unit to the power socket. Ensure the power cord is correctly connected to the mains power
socket and to the receiver. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and you risk getting an electric shock
when touching the receiver.
• You must imperatively use the receiver in an environment that complies with the following
requirements:
• temperature of between 0°C [32°F] and 40°C [104°F].

• altitude below 2000 m/ 6562 ft.
• 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.
