Safety & Care

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to place your DIRECTV Receiver near anything WET or HOT!

•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.

•To prevent electrical shock, this apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing and fully inserted.

•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 chapter).

•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.
