know about how to setup and watch available 'Freeview'
channels using your set top box.
Safety is Important
To ensure your safety and the safety of others, please
ensure you read the Safety Instructions before you oper-
ate this product.
Note: Keep this information in a safe place for future refer-
ence.
Safety warnings
Before you connect and start the receiver, please observe
the following points:
- The device is designed for domestic use.
- Only the functions described in these Operating
Instructions may be carried out with this device.
- If possible, keep the Operating Instructions ready at
hand near the appliance.
- If you hand the device on to other persons, please also
include these Operating Instructions.
Danger caused by electricity
- In the interior of the device there are hazardous volt-
ages. Never open the housing or insert objects through
the ventilation openings.
- Only connect the device to a 230 V power outlet
installed according to regulations, being accordingly
fused.
- The power outlet has to be easily accessible so that you
are able to disconnect the power plug immediately if
necessary.
- Observe that the connector cables are not clamped or
squeezed.
- Do not start the device if the device or the connector
cables show visible damage, or if the device has fallen
down.
- If an apparent damage occurs (e. g. smoke or similar)
during operation, immediately disconnect the pluggable
power supply from the power outlet. In doing so, always
take hold of the plug, never of the cable.
- Power outlets and extension cables may not be over-
loaded, otherwise there is fire hazard! When purchasing
the product, enquire for the maximum permissible cur-
rent consumption.
- In order to completely disconnect the device from the
power supply, the pluggable power supply has to be
disconnected from the power outlet.
- Have repairs or settings on your receiver carried out by
qualified skilled personnel only. Unauthorised opening
and repair attempts will result in loss of warranty. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for accidents of the
user if the device is opened. Incorrect wiring of the
connections can result in failures or malfunctions on the
device.
- Do not effect modifications on this device.
- Use provided cables and pluggable power supplies only.
- During thunderstorms, devices connected to the mains
supply may be damaged. Therefore, in case of a thunder-
storm always disconnect the pluggable power supply
from the power outlet.
- If you are absent for a longer period of time or during a
thunderstorm, disconnect the receiver from the power
supply unit and from the antenna. This also applies to
devices connected to the receiver.
Danger of electric shock by humidity
- The device may not be exposed to dripping or splashing
water. Prevent liquids from entering into the device. In
case of need, immediately disconnect the power plug.
- The device may not be used in damp locations (e. g.
bathroom) or rooms with heavy dust accumulation.
- Objects filled with water, e.g. vases, may not be placed
on the device.
Danger of injuries by other causes
- Observe that nobody can trip over the connector
cables.
Dangers for children
- Never leave children unattended with this device.
Children underestimate the danger associated with
electric appliances.
INTRODUCTION 5
English
Notes with regard to the installation location
- Install device on horizontal surface only.
- Do not expose this device to extreme temperatures.
Therefore:
-Avoid direct solar radiation and radiator heat;
-Do not obstruct the air ventilation by covering the
ventilation openings with objects, like for example
magazines, table cloths, curtains, etc.;
-Leave a minimum clearance of approx. 40 cm above and
to the sides. The heat may not accumulate in the device!
Otherwise the heat can damage the device, and there is
fire hazard!
- The device may not be installed close to inflammable
material (e. g. curtains, flammable liquids, etc.).
Batteries
- Batteries are to be kept away from children.
- After swallowing a button cell or battery, the person
concerned has to consult a doctor immediately.
- Do not try to reactivate used batteries by heat,
charging, or by other means.
- Batteries may not be thrown into the fire, disassembled,
or short-circuited.
- Replace the batteries at least one a year to prevent
them from leaking.
- Always replace both batteries and use batteries of the
same type only (e. g. alkaline cells or zinc/carbon).
- If you are absent for a longer time, remove the batteries
from the RC unit.
Miscellaneous notes
- Do not place open fire sources, like for example burning
candles, on the device.
- The antenna that is used has to be grounded.
- Only switch the device on after the connections with
the antenna and the SCART cable have been established.
- The bottom side of the device features the device feet.
Because the furniture or floor surfaces consist of
various materials and are treated with various care
products, it cannot be completely ruled out that some
of these materials contain components affecting and
moistening the feet of the device. If required, place a
non-slip mat underneath the feet.
- Opening the device results in loss of warranty.
