SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)
In addition to the Important Safety Instructions, please read the Safety
Information below.
Power sources
The model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this set-top box
are on a label on its base.
You must operate your set-top box only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. If you
move your set-top box between locations at different temperatures, allow it
to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
Overloading
Do not overload wall AC outlets, extension cords or other power outlets as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
To avoid possible damage to your set-top box or to a connected TV or
component, all AC power cords must be plugged into properly wired
outlets. As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective
components, or the failure to connect your set-top box to a properly wired
outlet, may cause sparking, property damage or damage to any TV or other
component connected to your set-top box and pose a fire hazard.
Risk of fire or scorching
Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or adjacent to
your set-top box.
Lightning
For added protection for your set-top box during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect
the cable system from your set-top box. See also item 13 in the Important
Safety Instructions.
Placement and mounting
Do not place your set-top box on an unstable or uneven surface. Your
set-top box may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious
damage to your set-top box. If you mount your set-top box, for example to
a wall or ceiling, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. See also item 12 in the
Important Safety Instructions.
Transporting
Move the combination of set-top box and cart with care. Quick stops,
excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the combination of set-top
box and cart to overturn. See also item 12 in the Important Safety Instructions.
Ambient temperature
The operating temperature range of your set-top box is 32-104°F. If the
ambient temperature around your set-top box falls outside this range, you
must correct this in order for your set-top box to work correctly and safely.
For example, if the temperature is too high, make sure there is sufficient
ventilation (see below) and that your set-top box is not directly on top of or
underneath other equipment.
