CAUTION:

Avoid moisture to reduce the

risk of fire or electric shock. The DIRECTV

Receiver should not be used near water (for

example, kitchen sink, bathtub, pool, damp

basement). Also, never spill liquid on the

receiver, and do not place vases or other

vessels containing liquid on top of it.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire or

electric shock, do not expose this product

to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not

be exposed to dripping or splashing and no

objects filled with liquids, such as vases,

shall be placed on the apparatus.

IMPORTANT:

Be sure not to place your

DIRECTV

Receiver near anything WET or

HOT!

If this product is rated at 240VAC, a suitable

attachment plug should be used.

TIP:

We highly recommend plugging the

DIRECTV

Receiver into a surge protector

to prevent damage from fluctuations in

your power supply.

To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not remove cover (or back).

No user-serviceable parts inside.

Refer servicing to qualified service

personnel.

RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK DO NOT OPEN!

CAUTION

• Ensure proper ventilation — the vent slots on the DIRECTV

Receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit.

Blocking the airflow to the unit could impair performance or damage your receiver and other components.

• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DIRECTV

Receiver. Also, do not stack the receiver on top of a

“hot component” such as an audio power amplifier.

• Protect your components from power surges by connecting all the components before plugging any power cords into the wall

outlet. Use of a surge protector is also recommended.

• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of fire or shock. It’s also important to use only the type

of power source indicated on the marking label or in this manual.

• Avoid audio hum or interference by inserting all cable plugs firmly into their jacks. Also, place Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the sides

of the TV back panel rather than down the middle once connected. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from A/V

cables as much as possible.

• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV

Receiver (other than the DIRECTV

Access Card as detailed in

this manual).

• Place it on a flat, hard surface — do not operate the DIRECTV

Receiver on a carpet or other padded surface.

• Always unplug your DIRECTV

Receiver before moving it.

• Always unplug the DIRECTV

Receiver, TV and other equipment before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• The only way to disconnect the DIRECTV

Receiver from the power supply is to remove the power cord. The DIRECTV

Receiver unit

must therefore be installed next to the power point which must be easily accessible.

•

CAUTION: Electric Shock

— never attempt to disassemble the DIRECTV

Receiver yourself; always take it to a qualified service

person when repair is required. Opening or removing covers may expose dangerous voltage or other risks, and incorrect reassembly

can cause shock when receiver is subsequently used. Attempted self-repair may also void your warranty. Changes or modifications

not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (by the warranty or by the manufacturer) could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

• Do not drop your DIRECTV

Receiver and always move it with care.

• Have your DIRECTV

Receiver professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself).

• Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• If you move your DIRECTV

Receiver between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you

apply power to it.

• Do not pick up or otherwise move your DIRECTV

Receiver while it is connected to the AC power supply. If you want to move your

set-top box, first disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or better telecommunications line cord.
• CAUTION: Replace remote control batteries with same or equivalent type. There is danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly
replaced.
•For your information: The identification sticker can be located behind the small door on the front panel of your receiver.
The telecommunication network voltage used is the category number 3.
