Important Safety Instructions

Read and follow all instructions, heed all warnings to avoid damaging your STB device and other devices, and prevent the risk of serious injury to yourself and others.

• Place the STB on a durable standstill table to prevent it from falling. Avoid stacking the STB on top or below other electronic devices.
• Follow the type of power source indicated on the label marking.
• Do not place or operate the STB near water or wet surfaces.
• Always unplug the AC power of the STB before cleaning it. Use a dry clean cloth only.
• Install according to instructions. Use only recommended accessories.
• Do not place near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched.
• Check all connections if properly inserted/fitted before turning the power on.
• Unplug the STB from the outlet and the antenna connection during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Users are not allowed to open or remove the STB cover, as this will void the warranty and prevent electric shock.
• Hold and grip the power plug to disconnect it from the power outlet, not the cord.
• The ventilation holes should not be covered with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc., to prevent the STB from overheating.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, lighters, and matches, should be placed on the STB.
• Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
• Use the STB in moderate temperature surroundings.

⚠️ WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious injury, electric shock, and damage to the STB, the device should not be placed near water. Avoid any water/liquid drip and sprinklers.
