Damage• Please inspect the Freesat box for damage after unpacking. • Do not continue to operate the Freesat box if you are in any

doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains adapter and consult your dealer.

Location of Freesat box• The Freesat box must be placed on a flat stable surface and

should not be subjected to vibrations.• Do not place the Freesat box on sloped or unstable surfaces

as the Freesat box may fall off or tip over.• The mains socket must be located near the Freesat box and

should be easily accessible.• This Freesat box is designed for indoor use only.

Temperature• Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or cold.

Place the Freesat box well away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

Naked Flames• Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the top of

or near the Freesat box.

Moisture• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage,

do not expose this Freesat box to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the Freesat box.

• If you spill any liquid into the Freesat box, it can cause serious damage. Switch it off at the mains immediately. Withdraw the mains adapter and consult your dealer.

Ventilation• To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to

overheating, ensure that curtains and other materials do not obstruct the ventilation vents.

• Do not install or place this Freesat box in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure the Freesat box is well ventilated.

Safety• Always disconnect the Freesat box from the mains supply

before connecting/disconnecting other devices or moving the Freesat box.

• Unplug the Freesat box from the mains during a lightning storm.

Mains Adapter Cable• Make sure the Freesat box or Freesat box stand is not resting

on top of the mains cable, as the weight of the Freesat box may damage the mains cable and create a safety hazard.

• If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Interference• Do not place the Freesat box on or near appliances which

may cause electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may adversely affect the operating performance of the Freesat box, and cause a distorted picture or sound.

play with the Freesat box and the remote control.• Never let anyone especially children push anything into the

holes, slots or any other openings in the case - this could result in a fatal electric shock.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the Freesat box’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the manual accompanying the Freesat box.

Service• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove screws.

The Freesat box does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

• Do not open any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages.

Maintenance• Ensure to unplug the Freesat box from the mains socket

before cleaning.• Do not use any type of abrasive pad or abrasive cleaning

solutions as these may damage the Freesat box’s surface.• Do not use liquids to clean the Freesat box.
