• Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case of

operational disruptions. Please note: The receiver will remain live,

even if it is turned off with the mains switch on the rear side.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or any kind of humidity to avoid

risk of fire and electric shock.

• Never open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric

shock.

• Connect the receiver only to a professionally installed mains

socket of 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz.

• Pull out the mains plug from the socket if the equipment is not in

use for a longer period of time. Only pull at the mains plug, not at

the cable.

• Pull out the mains plug of the receiver and the antenna plug of the

roof antenna (if any) from the socket in case of storms.

• If foreign bodies or fluids enter the receiver, immediately pull out

the mains plug from the socket. Ask a qualified person to check

the equipment before operating it once again. Otherwise, there is

a risk of electric shock.

• Ensure that the power source (socket) is easily accessible.

• Do not bend or crimp the mains cable.

• If the mains cable is damaged, the receiver must be repaired by

an expert before reusing it. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric

shock.
