should be kept away from sources of warmth. Never try to remove the rechar-

geable battery. Please contract your local dealer if a malfunction occurs during

operation or battery replacement is required.

Note:

Please note that the battery charging process can take up to approximately 20

hours, if the device is turned on at the same time. However, charging the battery

with the device turned o will only take up to approximately 5 hours. It is therefo-

re recommended to turn the device o during charging.

Please fully charge the battery in a turned o state completely rst, be-

fore using it for the rst time. This may otherwise impair capacity.

What is DVB-T?

DVB-T is the abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial and refers to

the transmission of television signals into the atmosphere. DVB-T is a variation of

DVB and is mainly used as a standard for transmitting digital television and radio

via an antenna in various European countries. The transmission frequencies used
