WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not
expose your receiver to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts are
inside. Please refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.
Note: Hardware / software modifications not expressly authorized
by AdventistSat will void any system warranty.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use your receiver’s
(polarized) plug with an extension cord receptacle or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Notice to System Installer: This is a reminder to the system installer
to follow Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of cable entry as practical.
Important Safeguards
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within a
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure—voltage that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electrical shock.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of *important* operational
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.

Accessories Do not place this product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only
with a suitable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
Power Sources This product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
Grounding or Polarization This product may be equipped with
a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power Cord Protection Power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding When an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
Lightning For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power line surges.
Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or
electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into
this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
Heat The product should be placed away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any product that produces heat.
