Motorola DCH6416 installation manual Before You Begin, Clearing the Hard Drive

3 INSTALLATION

Before You Begin

Before you move or change components on the subscriber’s entertainment system:

•Review the installation instructions.

•Determine if you are connecting to a standard (analog NTSC supporting RF input, Baseband Composite video or S-Video) or a High-Definition TV (Component video, HDMI, DVI or IEEE 1394).

•Determine if the subscriber has other equipment to be connected to the terminal (Home Theater or A/V receiver, VCR, etc.). Verify that you have the necessary cables and other required items.

•If the terminal was previously used, clear its hard drive before installing it at a new subscriber location

Clearing the Hard Drive

On a previously-used cable terminal, delete all recorded programs from the hard drive before installing it at a new subscriber location. This prevents your new subscriber from viewing programming they may not have purchased or may not want to see.

To prevent subscribers from accidentally deleting all of their recorded programs, a specific set of keystrokes is required to clear the hard drive. Having a TV connected is optional.

To clear the hard drive:

1.Start the diagnostics as described in the Diagnostics section; d 01 is displayed on the front-panel display.

2.Using a remote control, within five seconds, press REPLAY, MY DVR three times, and LIVE TV. (On some remote controls, the MY DVR key may be labeled LIST.)

3.If you correctly enter this key sequence in five seconds or less, the hard drive is cleared and the front-panel displays Clr.

4.If Clr is not displayed, re-enter the key sequence in step 2.

5.If Clr is displayed, press any other key to reset the terminal, turn it off, and complete the clearing process.
