IMPORTANT: This set top box is designed to operate on 12V DC. For this, an adaptor is used which gives 12 V voltage.

Connect this adaptor to a system that supplies 220-240 V AC, 50/60Hz.

After unpacking, allow the set-top box to reach the ambient room temperature before you connect the set to the mains.

Note: If a car cigarette lighter socket power plug adaptor is going to be used, it should be noted that if the output

voltage reduces to lower than 12V, a smartcard error can be caused.
