Safety & Care
Your Samsung FlipTop powered by DIRECTV® 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:
• The “ bolt of lightning” indicates un-insulated material within your unit may cause an
electrical shock. For the safety of everyone in your household, please do not remove product
covering.
• The “exclamation point” calls attention to features for which you should read the enclosed
literature closely to prevent operating and maintenance problems.
Important Safety Instructions
1) When you use product, certainly read this instruction about safety.
2) When you use product, certainly keep this instruction about safety.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

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.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled

It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this
manual.

such as vases, shall be placed on
the apparatus.

separate instruction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.
