In the interest of your own safety and the flawless functioning of your new PCTV 400i and computer system, note the following: Computer components are sensitive to static charge. Divert any electro-static charge from your body before touching the components with your hands or any tools. Before opening the computer, make sure that the power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet. 4 Hardware Installation Preparing Installation The only tool you need for the installation is a screwdriver. Divert any possible electro-static charge from your body by touching the casing of your PC. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and all necessary components. Loosen the computer cover screws and remove the cover. Select a free PCI (busmaster) slot. Remove the slot cover at the back of the computer. Be sure to keep the screws in a safe place. Slot shields Power supply unit PCI slots Slots 5 Using PCTV 400i Hardware Plug the card into the PCI slot. To do so, hold the card at the top and push it down into the slot while applying even pressure at both ends. Press down on the upper edge so that the card fits firmly in the slot. If you cannot easily insert the card into the slot, do not use force since this may bend the contact springs on the socket connector. Instead, remove the card and try to insert it again. After Installation After you have inserted the hardware, firmly tighten the card retaining bracket on the back of the computer. Now place the cover onto your computer and connect the peripheral devices. 6 Connections Connect antenna input with LNB 7 Technical Data Bus System PCI LNB Input 75 Ohm, F-connector Tuner Conexant HM 24108 Demodulator Conexant CX 24110 Video Decoder Conexant Fusion 878A TV Format DVB-S DiSEqC DiSEqC 1.0 LNB Feed 13V / 18V, maximal 350 mW 8 Konformitätserklärung nach ISO/IEC Guide 22 Declaration of conformity in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 22 Anbieter / Supplier : Anschrift / Address : Produkt / Product : Nr. / No 1.02 Pinnacle Systems GmbH Frankfurter Strasse 3c 38122 Braunschweig, Germany PCTV SAT / PCTV SAT KIT Das oben beschriebene Produkt ist konform mit: / The product described above is in conformity with: Dokument-Nr.
