Important Safety Instructions
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this device near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Unplug this device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Your DIRECTV® device has been designed and manufactured to stringent quality and safety standards. You should, however, be aware of the following important precautions
for safe and optimal use of the equipment.
Meaning of symbols printed on the rear panel of the product:
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit.
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage consisting of a risk of electric shock is present within this unit.

WARNING: To reduce the risk
of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this product to rain or
moisture. The device must not be
exposed to dripping or splashing
and objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, must not be placed
on the device.
IMPORTANT: Do not place your
DIRECTV
®
device near anything
WET or HOT!
TIP: We highly recommend
plugging the DIRECTV® device
into a surge protector to prevent
damage from fluctuations in
your power supply.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not remove cover
(or back). No user-serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
• Ensure proper ventilation — the DIRECTV
®
device must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Blocking the airflow to the unit
could impair performance or damage your device and other components.
• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DIRECTV device. Also, do not stack the device 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.
• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV device.
• It is preferable to place the device on a flat, hard surface.
• Always unplug your DIRECTV device before moving it.
• Always unplug the DIRECTV device, TV and other equipment before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• The only way to disconnect the DIRECTV device from the power supply is to remove the power cord. The DIRECTV device must therefore
be installed next to the power source which must be easily accessible.
• CAUTION: Electric Shock — never attempt to disassemble the DIRECTV device yourself; always take it to a qualified service person when repair
is required. Opening or removing covers may expose dangerous voltage or other risks, and incorrect reassembly can cause shock when the device
is subsequently used. Attempted self-repair may also void your warranty. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance (by the warranty or by the manufacturer) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• Do not drop your DIRECTV device and always move it with care.
• Have your DIRECTV device professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself).
• Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• If you move your DIRECTV device between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
• Do not pick up or otherwise move your DIRECTV device while it is connected to the AC power supply. If you want to move your device,
first disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing.
• For your information: The identification sticker can be located on the rear of your device.
• The telecommunication network voltage used is the category number 3.
Note to Satellite Dish Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to articles 810 and 820 of the 2005 National Electrical Code.
Refer to article 810, in particular 810-1 and 810-15, for required grounding of the metal structure of the dish antenna. Refer also to the 810-2
which, by reference to article 820, requires that the satellite dish coaxial cable shield be connected to the grounding system of the building as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN!

The DIRECTV CINEMA™ Connection Kit (DCCK) creates a wireless connection between your wireless router and your DIRECTV® Receiver
or DIRECTV® Whole-Home DVR service compatible network, so your DIRECTV Receiver can access the Internet. Your DIRECTV Receiver
has been customized to work with the DCCK device to enable the DIRECTV CINEMAplus™ service and other DIRECTV broadband services.
This User’s Manual will take you through the setup process to connect the DCCK device to your DIRECTV Receiver.
NOTE 1: Due to potential user interface improvements, the screens you see on your TV may differ slightly
from the ones included in this User’s Manual.
