FOR YOUR SAFETY
4 USING YOUR SKY+
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Using equipment safely
Your Sky+box has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but you must take care if you want it to perform
properly and safely. You must have your Sky digital satellite system installed by a qualified satellite-TV installer.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions below. If you have any doubts about the
installation, operation or safety of your Sky+box, please contact Sky or your dealer.
Warnings and cautions
• Remember that contact with 230V AC mains can be lethal or can cause a severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:
• Never remove the top cover of your Sky+box. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, but there are some high-voltage live parts. On the
rear panel of your Sky+ box there is a tamper-evident label that states ‘Warranty void if broken or removed’.
• Do not attempt to repair your Sky+box. For repairs, please contact Sky Customer Service.
• Never attempt to move or repair your satellite dish or low noise block.
• If you move your set-top between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
• Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made.
• Do not connect any of your equipment (Sky+box, TV, video recorder etc.) to the mains until you have properly connected all the other leads.
• Disconnect your Sky+box from the mains supply before you disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.
• Never push anything into holes, slots or other openings in the casing of your Sky+box (except your viewing card and interactive card into
their respective slots).
• Your Sky+box is intended for use in moderate climates. Do not use or store your Sky+box in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.
• In order to ensure a free flow of air around your Sky+box, allow at least 10 cm of space above and on all sides (especially between your
Sky+box and your TV). Do not cover any ventilation slots.
• Ensure the ventilation slots do not become impeded with items such as newspapers, tablecloths and curtains or similar items.
• Do not place your Sky+box close to sources of heat such as a heater or direct sunlight. The maximum temperature should not exceed 40°C.
• Do not place your Sky+box in an enclosed cabinet with more than one other piece of audio/video equipment e.g. VCR or DVD.
• Do not put anything on your Sky+box which might drip or spill into it. Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of the box.
• Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your Sky+box.
• To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk, do not pick up or otherwise move your Sky+box while it’s connected to the mains supply. If
you want to move your Sky+box, first disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing. You should handle your Sky+box carefully
as any damage you cause to the internal hard disk (or any other component) will invalidate your warranty.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
TV TO FIT YOUR LIFE 5
AM
Connecting to the mains supply
Your Sky+box operates with 230V AC, 50 Hz mains supply. Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
On some models, the supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the other. Insert the 2-way connector
into your Sky+box before you insert the plug into the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your Sky+box from the mains is to take the plug out of the socket. Your Sky+box must therefore be
installed near the mains socket outlet, which should be easily accessible.
If you are in any doubt about anything relating to the mains supply, consult a competent electrician.

Electrical information
Mains plug and its fuse
The supplied mains plug may be a non-rewireable type or a rewireable type. Both types contain
an approved 3A fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use an ASTA- or BSI-approved BS 1362 fuse,
rated at 3A and marked with either of these symbols.
Non-rewireable plugs have the fuse beneath a fuse cover on the plug face. Use a screwdriver to
lever off the fuse cover, replace the fuse with a new one and refit its cover. Never use a plug if its
fuse cover is missing.
Rewireable plugs have the fuse inside. Use a screwdriver to remove the plug’s back cover, then
lever out the fuse and replace it with a new one. Replace the plug’s back cover.
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket-outlet, remove its fuse and
then cut the plug off the lead. Destroy the severed plug immediately to avoid the shock
hazard which would exist if this were to be plugged into a mains socket. Do not attempt to
repair or modify the mains lead or plug. Fit an appropriate mains plug on the lead. If this
plug contains a fuse, it should be as described above. If you are using a non-fused plug, an
external fuse must not exceed 5A.
use correct fuse

6 USING YOUR SKY+
BACK TO BASICS
The Sky installer should have shown you the basics of how to use your Sky
equipment. Here’s a reminder of what you need to enjoy the channels and
features on offer.
About your Sky+box
Your Sky+box gets digital information from the satellite through the minidish,
it then decodes the information and sends it to your TV.
With a Sky+subscription, your Sky+box is a video recorder and satellite
receiver in one. It also has two inputs from the satellite dish, which means
you can watch one programme while recording another.
Keeping you up-to-date
As we make improvements and create new features, we update the software
you see onscreen by sending it via the satellite. We’ll let you know about
these new features as soon as they’re available.

Features available with your Sky+subscription
You can enjoy Sky+personal video recorder features only if you have a Sky+
subscription.
With your Sky+subscription and box, you can record and play back satellite
programmes. This includes the features Live Pause and Instant Rewind.
To subscribe to Sky+, call the number found under Services > Telephone
Numbers.
Your viewing card
Your viewing card needs to stay in your Sky+box at all times so you can view
all the channels you’re entitled to.
The viewing card slot is under the flap on the front of your Sky+box.
The last four digits of the code shown on the back of the card is your default
PIN number (see About your PIN on page 45).
There’s no need to remove the viewing card unless you are checking your PIN
number, or if it’s faulty or has expired.
Please remember these cautions:
• Don’t remove or re-insert the viewing card unnecessarily.
• Don’t bend the viewing card.
• Keep the card away from heat and sunlight.
• Keep the card dry. Never clean it with fluids - use a soft dry cloth.
• Keep the card away from small children and pets.

card in its slot

You can change the settings for Sky+specific features by
going to Services > Sky+Setup.
