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
•Separate the receiver from the power source in case of
operational disruptions. Please note: The receiver will
remain live, even if it is turned off with the mains switch
on the rear side.
•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. This is either:
- for external power pack:
oan approved mains socket 100-240 V~, 50-
60 Hz or
- for 12V cable
oan approved d.c. source of 11V - max. 14V
•The total current at the antenna connection of the
receiver ‘LNB IN’ must not exceed 300 mA.
•Pull out the mains plug or the 12 V cable from the
socket if the equipment is not in use for a longer period
of time. Only pull at the plug, not at the cable.

10
•Use for the operation of the receiver only the included
external power adapter or 12-volt cable for the
cigarette lighter.
•In case of storms pull out the mains plug of the
receiver from the socket.
•In case of a storm, loosen the LNB cable from the
receiver.
•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.
•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 are putting yourself
and others at risk.
•Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case
of operational disruptions.
•Spare parts must be ordered directly from the
manufacturer
•Modifications of the device lead to an extinction of the
manufacturer’s liability.
•Remove the protection films.

11
Caution!
Information on separation from power source. The
Standby key of this device will not separate the device
completely from the power source. In addition, the
device will draw current. To separate the device
completely from the power source, the mains plug
must be pulled out of the socket.
Suitable location
•Place the receiver on a stable and even base.
•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 steps or trips over them.

12
Correct battery handling
•Batteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that
batteries are not within the reach of children. Children
may eat and swallow batteries. Should a battery be
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
•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. Therefore, dispose
of the batteries immediately in an ecologically
accepted manner according to the prevailing statutory
regulations. Never throw the batteries into normal
household waste.
•Never expose the batteries to open fire or strong heat,
as otherwise there is a danger of explosion.
•Replace the batteries always by batteries of the same
type.

Connecting the receiver
The receiver is connected with your satellite antenna by
means of a coaxial cable. If necessary, you have to
prepare a coaxial cable before connecting the receiver.
 The 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, there is a risk of electric shock
that can be a threat to life or physical condition. Also
the receiver can suffer damages.
Caution!
Information on separation from power source. The
Standby key of this device will not separate the device
completely from the power source. In addition, the
device will draw current. To separate the device
completely from the power source, the mains plug
must be pulled out of the socket.
The wire netting and the inner core of the coaxial cable
carry current during operation.
Caution!
Camping or trailer operating:
The receiver can also be connectet to 12 Volt ( viz. 11-
14 Volt, e. g. solar collector, motor vehicle). To do this,
use the 12 Volt cable.
Caution! For using vehicles with 24 volt on-board
voltage (eg, trucks), you have to use a 24V / 12V DC /

20
DC converter. If not, the receiver can suffer damages.
Your warranty will be lost, if ignored.
