Earth connection

The antenna system must be earthed as speciﬁed or equipotentially bonded. EN 60728/11 and any national regulations must be complied with.

Danger due to surge voltages, lightning strikes!

Mains voltage

Only operate the unit with the speciﬁed mains voltage (marked on the rear of the-unit or on the external power pack)! The unit may only be connected to the mains and turned on once it has been connected to the antenna and to the TV set or the cable network and PC.

If the mains voltage is too high, there is a risk of ﬁre!

Repairs

Ensure that any repairs to your unit are carried out by qualiﬁed personnel. Opening the unit and attempting to repair it yourself voids all warranty claims!

Improper work on the unit can jeopardise the electrical safety of the unit.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for accidents caused by the user opening the unit!

Connections

Incorrect wiring of the connections can lead to malfunctions or defects on the unit!

CAUTION! Long periods of absence/storms/accessibility of the mains connector

Always turn off the unit at the mains switch if you will be absent for a long time or there is a storm. Disconnect it from the mains by unplugging the mains connector. This also applies to the other equipment connected to the unit. Isolation from the cable network is also recommended. Note any timer programs (receiver) and turn the unit on again promptly before the recording time. Ensure the mains connector is accessible at all times.

Installation location

All electronic equipment generates heat. However, the heating of this unit lies within the permissible range. Sensitive furniture surfaces and veneers may become discoloured by the effects of constant heat over time. The feet of the unit can also cause colour changes to treated furniture surfaces. If necessary, place the unit on a suitable stable and ﬂat base!

Ventilation

The heat generated in this unit is adequately dissipated. However, the unit should never be installed in a cupboard or on shelves with inadequate ventilation. Never cover the cooling slots on the unit (e.g. with other equipment, magazines, tablecloths or curtains)!

Do not place any objects on top of the unit and maintain a clearance of at least 10 cm above the unit, so that the heat generated can be dissipated with no obstructions.

Moisture, sunlight, heat, naked ﬂames

Protect the unit against moisture, dripping and splashed water (do not place any ﬁlled objects such as vases on top of the unit). Do not place the unit close to a heater or expose it to direct sunlight and do not operate it in damp locations. Only use the unit in a moderate climate, not in tropical conditions! Do not expose the unit to any naked ﬂame, such as from a candle! This constitutes a ﬁre hazard!
