Safety Information
This Set-top Box (STB) is manufactured based on international safety standards. Please read the
following safety precautions carefully.
POWER SUPPLY
1. Use only 100V –240V AC 50/60Hz.
2. Place the STB near an electrical socket and ensure that the power cord is
not likely to be walked on, pinched or damaged.
3. Ensure the electrical source is not overloaded as this can cause fire or
electrical shock
CABLES
Use good quality and certified cables only.
LOCATION
Place the STB indoors and away from any potential hazards, such as near
houseplants, open windows (where STB may be exposed to rain), direct
sunlight or near a heater.
CLEANING
1. Always disconnect the STB’s power cord from the wall socket before
cleaning it and use soft damp cloth only.
2. Avoid using solvents as it may cause fire or damage the STB.
VENTILATION
1. Do not block any ventilation holes on the STB and ensure that there is
sufficient space around the STB for proper ventilation.
2. Do not place the STB on carpets or materials that may prevent proper air-
flow within the STB.
3. Do not stack any other electronic equipment on the top of the STB.
LIQUID
Ensure that the STB is placed in a dry place and away from any liquid. For
example, do not put containers with water such as a cup or vase on top of the
STB.
SMALL OBJECTS
Keep coins or other small objects away from the STB as they can fall through
the ventilation holes and damage the STB.
ANTENNA
Before disconnecting the antenna, switch off the STB first. Disconnecting the
antenna while the STB is switched on may damage the STB.
EARTHING
Ensure the power cable is properly connected to the electrical earth (ground)
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
LIGHTNING
1. The STB must remain connected to the main electrical socket at all times.
2. Ensure that the safety instructions of other equipment connected to STB
such as a television set is adhered to.
3. Ensure lightning safety devices are in place for outdoor terrestrial
antennas, electrical sockets and all other devices near or connected to the
