We hope you will enjoy all the new features this technology brings to your home for many years. Your dealer should have checked your postcode for reception, but the availability of Digital Signals does depend on the transmitter(s) available to your receiving aerial. If you have any doubt about this availability, please contact your dealer, or check the following internet websites:www.freeview.co.uk or www.dtg.org.uk/consumer If you experience reception problems contact our aerial helpline on 0800 5428265 Safety information In order that you may enjoy this product for a long time it is important that you observe the following points when installing and operating your receiver This receiver is intended for the reception of TV picture and sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited. Avoid the long-term display of static images, e.g. menus or audio only channels. Use the Radio (Blank Screen) feature (see Advanced Setup) Do not expose the receiver to any moisture. The receiver is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish to operate it in the open air, make absolutely sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashes, etc.).

If you are not using the receiver for a long time (including overnight), please switch it off at the mains. This saves energy. Note that any software upgrades can take place at night at your request.
