• Read the IMPORTANT RULES FOR
SAFE OPERATION section of this
guide.
• Locate the serial number for your set-
top, which is on a bar code on the back
panel of the set-top. You will need this
serial number to join the Explorer
eClub. Also, if your system requires
troubleshooting in the future, your
cable service provider or Scientific-
Atlanta may ask for the serial number.
• If you plug the set-top into an outlet
that is controlled by a wall switch, keep
the switch in the ON position. The on-
screen guide is updated nightly. If the
wall switch is in the OFF position,
your set-top will not receive the latest
programming updates.
• Keep the top of the set-top free of all
objects and electronic devices, including
your TV.
• It is recommended that you connect a
surge protector to your cable equip-
ment and electronic devices.
