Please read the following safety precautions carefully. MAINS SUPPLY OVERLOADING LIQUIDS CLEANING VENTILATION : 90 - 250 V AC 50/60 Hz : Do not overload a wall outlet, extension cord or adapter as this may result in fire or electric shock. : The STB should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects containing liquids, such as base, should be placed on the apparatus. : Disconnect the STB from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a light damp cloth (no solvents) to dust the STB. : The slots on top of the STB must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Do not stand the STB on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not expose the STB to direct sunlight, nor place it near a heater. Do not stack electronic equipment on top of the STB. : Do not use any non-recommended attachments, as these maybe hazardous or cause damage the STB. ATTACHMENTS CONNECTION TO THE SATELLITE DISH LNB : Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE LNB. CONNECTION TO THE TV : Disconnect the STB from the mains before connecting or disconnecting the cable from the satellite dish. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE TV. EARTHING LOCATION : The LNB cable MUST BE EARTHED. The earthing system must comply with SABS 061. : Place the STB indoors to avoid exposing it to lightning, rain or sun.

Glossary · Antenna A device that collects and radiates electromagnetic waves. This includes a satellite dish and a broadband antenna. · Forward Error Correction (FEC) An error control system for data transmission. · Frequency The number of cycles or events per second, expressed in of Hertz(Hz) units. · Intermediate Frequency (IF) A frequency to which a carrier frequency is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission or reception. · Low Noise Block (LNB) Downconverter A low noise microwave amplifier and converter which downconverts a range of frequencies to the IF range. · Packet Identifier (PID) A set of numbers that identifies transport stream packets containing data from a single data stream. · Polarisation Characteristic of an electromagnetic wave determined by the orientation of the electric field vector. · Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) Phase-shift keying in which four different phase angles are used. · Service A channel into which a decoder or TV is tuned. · Transponder An automatic device that receives, amplifies and retransmits a signal on a different frequency. GB3 References 1. DiSEqC 1.0 Connection All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennae to be connected to the STB simultaneously. If you have two or more fixed antennae or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch. 1. Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A DiSEqC switch input connector. 2. Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B DiSEqC switch in put connector. 3. Do the same for the other LNBs. 4. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF DiSEqC switch output connector and the other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB. 2. DiSEqC 1.2 Connection Please refer to page GB46. 3. Connecting a Satellite antenna You can connect either a single satellite antenna directly to the digital receiver or several antennae via the converter box or multi-feed equipment LNB. You can connect a further Sat-receiver (for example analogue) to the common antenna equipment receiver that has satellite signals. 4. Loop Via If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB, then you can connect it via the loop via. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT on the STB and connect the other end to the LNB IN on your second STB. GB4 5. Software Upgradeing The HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product-incorporating one of the best software applications. Whenever a problem is found with this software or extra functions or enhanced applications are added, the software in the equipment must be upgraded. In order to maintain correct product performance, it is essential to have the most Up-to-date software. The latest news and releases on software versions may be found at the HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com. It is recommended that users register with HCSA (HUMAX Customer Service Area) and periodically check the availability of software upgrade. There are three methods for upgrading the software: (a) set-top box to set-top box download (copies the software from the main unit into the slave unit); (b) PC to set-top box download (downloads the software directly from the PC to the model requiring upgrading); (c) OTA over-the-air (downloads the software, where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release via the satellite system). Over The Air (OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software upgrade takes place by "beaming" the latest software versions over the air via satellite systems. Note that OTA is limited to certain geographical regions only, mainly due to different satellites having different footprints (areas where the signal can be received). SUSS (TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA. The software upgrade via the satellite system can only occur under the following circumstances: 1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software; 2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite system; 3) the equipment must be properly "tuned" to the same satellite as the one used by the manufacturer.
