When you use or connect electrical equipment,
always obey the safety regulations as
applicable in your country, to reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock and personal injury.
Read and comply at least with the given safety
instructions.
■ Always make sure that the electrical power
supply corresponds with the voltage on the
electrical identification plate on the
equipment next to the electrical connection.
■ Your equipment is double insulated in
compliance with the standards as stated in
the EC Declaration of Conformity; therefore
no additional earth wire is required, though
the use of an earth leak switch and/or over
voltage protection switch is recommended.
■ Only use an approved extension
(convenience) lead suitable for the electrical
power consumption of the installed
equipment.
■ Only use an original or by EchoStar
International Corporation approved AC/DC
adapter.
■ The AC/DC adapter is only meant for use
with the related EchoStar terrestrial receiver.
■ Always first disconnect the AC/DC adapter
from the mains before you disconnect the
connector at the receiver.
■ If another 12Vdc/24Vdc source is applied,
use a suitable rated fuse. Make sure the
power supply to the receiver is protected
against a short circuit situation.
