RNG150N / RNG200N USER GUIDE (501-3339201) B949/B950

SAFETY INFORMATION

This digital set-top has been manufactured and tested with your safety in 
mind. However, improper use can result in potential electric shock or fire 
hazards. To avoid defeating the safeguards that have been built into your 
set-top, please observe the precautions discussed in this document.

To ensure correct operation, use this set-top only with the Pace-approved 
power supply unit provided. If you use an unapproved alternative, you will 
invalidate the warranty.

Other warnings

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover of your set-
top. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it.

Do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing the set-top yourself will 
invalidate the warranty.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this set-top to 
rain or moisture.

On the rear panel of your set-top there is a tamper-evident label that states 
‘Warranty void if broken or removed’.

To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk (if fitted), do not pick up 
or move your set-top while it is connected to the power supply. If you want 
to move your set-top, first stop any recording, then turn off your set-top and 
wait 60 seconds before disconnecting it. You should handle your set-top 
carefully, as any damage you cause to an internal hard disk (or any other 
component) will invalidate your warranty.

Installation

The installation of your set-top should be carried out by a qualified 
installer and should conform to local codes.

Note to the installer

This reminder is provided to call the attention of the cable-TV-system 
installer to Section 820 of the National Electrical Code (USA), which 
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 is practical.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before you install or use the apparatus, you must read and

9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into the outlet, 
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched 

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the apparatus.

manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified 

by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a
