Safety instructions
Please read the safety instructions carefully before operating the
receiver.
Please follow all warnings and instructions on the equipment and in
the operating manual.
Basic safety instructions
Electrical connection
•Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case of
operational disruptions.
•Do not expose the receiver to rain or any kind of humidity to avoid
risk of fire and electric shock.
•Never open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric
shock.
•Connect the receiver only to a professionally installed mains
socket of 100-240V, 50-60Hz by means of the external power
pack or to a DC supply of 11V – max. 14V by means of the 12V
cable according to specifications.
•The total power consumption by the antenna connection of the
receiver “LNB IN” must not exceed 300 mA.
•Pull out the mains plug from the socket if the equipment is not in
use for a longer period of time. Only pull at the mains plug, not at
the cable.
•If foreign bodies or fluids enter the receiver, immediately pull out
the mains plug from the socket. Ask a qualified person to check
the equipment before operating it once again. Otherwise, there is
a risk of electric shock.
•Ensure that the power source (socket) is easily accessible.
•Do not bend or crimp the mains cable.
•Remove the protection films.

10
•In case of a storm, pull the external power pack or the 12V cable
of the receiver out of the mains socket. In case of a storm, pull the
LNB cable out of the receiver.
•If the mains cable is damaged, the receiver must be repaired by
an expert before reusing it. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric
shock.
•Never allow children to operate the receiver or to play with the
antenna unit unless supervised.
•Always ask qualified personnel to carry out maintenance jobs.
Otherwise, you will put yourself and others at risk.
•Modifications of the device lead to an extinction of the
manufacturer’s liability and guarantee obligation.
•Spare parts must be ordered directly from the manufacturer
Suitable location
•Avoid proximity to:
-heat sources, like e. g. heaters,
-naked flames, like e. g. candles,
-devices with strong magnetic fields, like e.g. loudspeakers.
-Never place receptacles filled with liquid (e. g. vases) on the
receiver
•Avoid direct sunlight and places with an extremely high amount of
dust.
•Never cover ventilation slits. Ensure adequate ventilation of the
receiver.
•Do not place any heavy objects on the receiver.
•Humidity may settle in the receiver if it is brought into hot
surroundings from a cold one. In this case, wait for about an hour
before operating the equipment.
•Arrange the mains and antenna cable in such a manner that no-
one can step or trip over them.

11
Correct battery handling
•Batteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that batteries are not
within the reach of children. Children may eat and swallow
batteries.
•Batteries that are getting discharged may damage the remote
control. If the receiver is not in use for a longer period of time,
remove the batteries from the remote control.
•Batteries may contain toxic agents that are hazardous to the
environment. Therefore, dispose of the batteries immediately
according to the prevailing statutory regulations. Never throw the
batteries into normal household waste.
Disposal
Never throw the receiver or the batteries in normal
household waste. Ask your municipal authorities
or local government about different methods for
disposing of the equipment in an eco-friendly and
proper manner. Hand over used batteries to a
collection centre.

12

The receiver will scan for further new broadcasting stations as soon
as you initiate the automatic scanning of broadcasting stations for
this satellite. Satellites not preset may be added.
All receiver settings can be done easily by using the user interface
(menu) on the TV screen.

Connecting the receiver
The receiver is connected with your satellite antenna by means of a
coaxial cable. If necessary, you will have to prepare a coaxial cable
before connecting the receiver.
LThe coaxial cable is not included in the scope of supply.
Caution!
Connect the receiver to the mains supply only after you have
connected it to all equipment and the antenna properly.
Otherwise, the receiver can suffer damages.
The wire netting and the inner core of the coaxial cable carry
current during operation.

17
Antenna cable installation
(Cp. the installation diagram on the next page)
A pair of wire strippers and a cable cutter are required for installing
the F connector on the coaxial cable.
ÖCut 8 mm of the coaxial cable at each end up to the inner core.
ÖCarefully cut 10 mm of the outer insulation so that the wire netting
is exposed.
ÖTurn the wire netting backwards and wind it over the outer
insulation in such a manner that it does not touch the inner core.
ÖRemove the inner insulation up to 2 mm from the wire netting.
ÖRotate the F connector onto the turned-back wire netting until the
connector touches the inner insulation.
LThe wire netting must not protrude from the back of the
connector end.
ÖCut the inner core with a cable cutter in such a manner that it
projects maximum 1 mm from the connector.

18
Installation diagram
ÖFasten the F connector of the coaxial cable onto the “LNB IN”
antenna connection of the receiver. Fasten the other end of the
coaxial cable on the LNB.

19
Connection with the SCART cable
ÖInsert the SCART receiver directly in the SCART socket of the TV
set.
ÖShould this be impossible, you must buy a suitable extension
(adapter cable) in a specialised shop.
ATTENTION: The Scart extension cable is not included in the
scope of supply!!!
