Installer notes

If you are installing an IntelliControl® ICS DMS4 Digital Music Server for the first time you may wish to take notice of the following items to assist with the configuration process:

Your DMS4 Digital Music Server is configured by default for use with an NTSC television. If you are using a PAL television the DMS4 Digital Music Server’s TV user interface may not display correctly. For information about configuring this setting, see page 31

Automatic Shutdown

This product contains sensors that continually monitor its operating temperature. Should the temperature exceed the product’s maximum safe operating temperature then an automatic shutdown will be initiated. Notification of the shutdown will be displayed on the TV user interface with a countdown before it is commenced.

Automatic shutdown is necessary to help prevent component damage through overheating. To prevent automatic shutdown, ensure that the ambient temperature surrounding the product does not exceed 40°C/104°F. This can be achieved by ensuring the product’s ventilation grills are not obstructed and, where the product is installed in an enclosure, there is plenty of ventilation for air flow. The current operating temperature can be viewed in the System Information menu in Settings.
