4Xi3 (PX031ANI) USER GUIDE DRAFT (501-340120x)In addition to the Important Safety Instructions, please read the Safety Information below.Power sourcesThe model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this set-top box are on a label on its base.You must operate your set-top box 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 dealer or local power company. If you move your set-top box between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.OverloadingDo not overload wall AC outlets, extension cords or other power outlets as this can result in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock.To avoid possible damage to your set-top box or to a connected TV or component, all AC power cords must be plugged into properly wired outlets. As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective components, or the failure to connect your set-top box to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking, property damage or damage to any TV or other component connected to your set-top box and pose a ﬁre hazard.LightningFor added protection for your set-top box during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect your set-top box from the power supply and disconnect the cable system from your set-top box. See also item 13 in the Important Safety Instructions.Ambient temperatureThe operating temperature range of your set-top box is 32-104°F. If the ambient temperature around your set-top box falls outside this range, you must correct this in order for your set-top box to work correctly and safely. For example, if the temperature is too high, make sure there is sufﬁcient ventilation (see below) and that your set-top box is not directly on top of or underneath other equipment.VentilationSlots and openings in the casing of your set-top box are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your set-top box and to protect it from overheating.• Never block the ventilation openings by placing your set-top box on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Place it on a hard, ﬂat surface.• Never cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, or curtains.• You can place your set-top box near other consumer electronics devices, such as stereo ampliﬁers or televisions, but you must not place it directly on top or underneath them.3 in.3 in.3 in.• Do not place your set-top box in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and you have adhered to the manufacturer’s instructions.• Maintain a minimum distance of three inches around your set-top box for sufﬁcient ventilation.See also item 7 in the Important Safety Instructions.Water and moistureDo not expose your set-top box to rain or moisture, dripping or splashing, and ensure that no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on your set-top box.

7Xi3 (PX031ANI) USER GUIDE DRAFT (501-340120x)WARNINGSDo not connect your set-top box (or any other equipment such as a TV or DVD player) to the power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables.Disconnect your set-top box’s power supply unit from the AC power supply before you disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.The only way to disconnect your set-top box from the AC power supply is to remove the power supply unit from the wall AC outlet (or switch the wall AC outlet switch, if present, to its OFF position). Your set-top box must therefore be installed near to the wall AC outlet, which should be easily accessible.The cable input is designed for connection to a cable network only. You must not connect any other equipment, such as a VCR, to this input.Possible setupsIn order for you to view programs broadcast in high-deﬁnition, your set-top box must be connected to a suitable HDTV or computer monitor.Your equipment should have been connected up by your installer. However, if you need to disconnect and reconnect your equipment, read page 8.The setup shown on page 8 makes efﬁcient use of the connectors on your set-top box. However, depending on your other equipment and the connectors on it, the person who installed your system may have chosen to connect things differently.Note that some cable service providers may not enable the RF connection and/or other features of your set-top box. The functionality depends on your service provider.CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENTNOTECopy protection via an HDMI secure linkThe HDMI link between your set-top box and your HDTV should be a secure link. When your set-top box is attached via an HDMI cable to an HDCP-compliant (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) HDTV, the HDTV and set-top box negotiate a secure link, which allows your set-top box to transmit full resolution video (picture) to your HDTV.Not all HDTVs support HDCP. If your set-top box is connected to an HDTV that does not support it, the HDMI output is then disabled, so no picture is transmitted from this connector.
