Safety instructions

Please read these safety instructions through carefully, before

operating the receiver.

Please observe all warnings and instructions on the equipment and

contained in these operating instructions.

Basic safety instructions

Electrical connections

• To avoid fire and danger of electric shock, do not expose the

receiver to rain or in other moisture.

• Never open the housing. (Danger of electric shock).

• Only connect the receiver to a 90–250 V, 50–60 Hz power socket

which has been correctly installed by trained personnel.

• The plug must be easily accessible, so that in an emergency the

receiver can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and

easily.

• Pull the plug out of the socket if the equipment is not used over a

long period of time. Only pull out by the plug.

• Avoid exposing the receiver to drops or spraying water. Do not

stand any containers holding liquids (a vase, for example) on or

over the receiver. (Danger of electric shock).

• If foreign bodies or liquids enter the receiver, then immediately pull

the plug from the socket. Have properly-trained personnel check

the equipment, before operating again. (Danger of electric shock).

• The total power input at the receiver’s antenna connection marked

“ANT INPUT“ may not exceed 400 mA.

• Do not bend or squash the power cable.

• Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. (Danger of electric

shock).

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be repaired by

properly-trained personnel before operating again. (Danger of

electric shock).

• Never allow children to use the receiver without supervision or to

play with the antenna equipment.

3BSafety instructions

• Always leave maintenance work to properly-trained personnel, not

to do so could be dangerous.

• Disconnect the receiver from the power source if operating

breakdown occurs.

Correct positioning

• Stand the receiver on a firm, level surface.

• Avoid the proximity of sources of heat, for example, radiators,

open fires, for example, candles, equipment with strong magnetic

fields, for example, loudspeakers.

• Avoid direct sunlight and unusually dusty or humid locations.

• Avoid shaking the receiver.

• Never cover up the ventilation slits. See that there is adequate

ventilation. Do not stand any heavy objects on the receiver.

• If the receiver is brought from a cold into a warm environment,

moisture can form in the interior of the receiver. In this case, wait

around two to three hours before operating.

• Lay the power and antenna cables so that no-one can trip over or

tread on them

The correct handling of batteries

• Batteries can contain poisonous substances, which can harm the

environment. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the

current legal requirements. Never dispose of the batteries in

normal domestic refuse.

• Batteries should not be given to children. Children could place

batteries in the mouth and swallow them.

• Weak batteries can cause damage to the remote control. If the

receiver is not used for a long period of time, then remove the

batteries from the remote control.

Description

With this equipment digital satellite channels can be received using a

satellite antenna.

The receiver does not need to be programmed, all programmes

transmitted at the time of delivery over the Astra, Hotbird and Turksat

satellites are already pre-programmed.

The channels transmitted by a satellite can be received as soon as

the receiver is connected up to an antenna pointing at a satellite. The

receiver searches for the channels as soon as the automatic search

function for this satellite is started.

All functions of the receiver can be operated using the remote control.

All receiver settings can easily be effected by means of the menu on

the TV screen. The on-screen menu supports the following

languages:

• German,

• English,

• Arabic,

• French,

• Italian,

• Russian,

• Spanish

• Turkish,

• Farsi,

• Dutch,

• Greek and

• Hungarian.

The receiver can update software over the Astra satellite.

Connecting up the receiver

The receiver is connected by means of an LNB cable to the

connection socket of the satellite antenna. Before connecting the

receiver an LNB cable may have to be installed.

L An LNB cable is not supplied.

Danger!

The braided sheath and the internal conductor of the LNB cable

are under current during operation. Whilst operating, do not touch

the LNB cable. (Danger of injury through electric shock!)

Caution!

Before connecting up, remove all packaging from the receiver

otherwise the receiver could be damaged.

Caution!

Only connect up the receiver to the power source after all

equipment and the antenna have been correctly connected.

Otherwise the receiver could sustain damage.

6BOverview of the equipment

Installing the LNB cable

For installing an IF plug on the co-axial cable wire strippers and

cutting pliers will be required.

 Cut off 8mm co-axial cable down to the internal core at both ends.

 Carefully cut 10mm of external isolation material off, so that the

braided sheath is showing.

 Turn back the braided sheath and turn it over the outer isolation

material, ensuring that it does not touch the internal core

 Remove the internal isolation material up to 2mm before the

braided sheath.

 Turn the IF plug onto the turned-back braided sheath until the plug

meets the internal isolation material..

L The braided sheath should not protrude behind the end of

the plug.

 Shorten the internal core with cutting pliers, so that it protrudes at

most 1mm out of the plug.

Connection of a SCART cable
