• Always handle the receiver carefully. Excessive shock and
vibration can damage the hard drive.
• Always turn the receiver off, unplug it, and then let it sit idle for at
least 30 seconds before moving it.
• If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately.
Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes
before plugging it in.
• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the
receiver manufacturer will void the Limited Warranty.
• If you plug the receiver’s power cord into an outlet that contains
surge suppression, then verify you are using a HomePlug-
compatible surge-protected power strip or socket . Do not plug
the receiver into an outlet with ground fault protection.
• During an electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet, and disconnect the lines between the receiver
and the antenna. This will provide additional protection against
damage caused by lightning or power-line surges.
• In some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods
of time may cause permanent imprints on the screen. Consult
your TV’s manufacturer and user manual to determine if this is
an issue for your TV.
