FOR YOUR SAFETY
Using equipment safely
Your Sky box has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but you must take care if you want it to perform properly
and safely. You must have your Sky digital satellite system installed by a qualifi ed satellite-TV installer.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions below. If you have any doubts about the
installation, operation or safety of your Sky box, please contact Sky or your dealer.
Warnings and cautions
• Remember that contact with 230V AC mains can be lethal or can cause a severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:
• Never remove the top cover of your Sky box. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, but there are some high-voltage live parts.
• Do not attempt to repair your Sky box. For repairs, please contact Sky Customer Service.
• Never attempt to move or repair your satellite dish or low noise block.
• If you move your set-top between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.
• Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made.
• Do not connect any of your equipment (Sky box, TV, video recorder etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected all other leads.
• Disconnect your Sky box from the mains supply before you disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.
• Never push anything into holes, slots or other openings in the casing of your Sky box (except your viewing card and interactive card into their
respective slots).

• In order to ensure a free fl ow of air around your Sky box, allow at least 10 cm of space above and on all sides (especially between your Sky box
and your TV). Do not cover any ventilation slots.

• Do not place your Sky box close to sources of heat such as a heater or direct sunlight. The maximum temperature should not exceed 40°C.
