4 USING YOUR SKY BOX
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 qualified 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.
• 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
the 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).
• Your Sky box is intended for use in moderate climates. Do not use or store your Sky box in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.
• In order to ensure a free flow 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.
• Ensure the ventilation slots do not become impeded with items such as newspapers, tablecloths and curtains or similar items.
• 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.
• Do not place your Sky box in an enclosed cabinet with more than one other piece of audio/video equipment e.g. VCR or DVD.
• Do not put anything on your Sky box which might drip or spill into it. Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your
Sky box.
• Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your Sky box.
• Do not pick up or otherwise move your Sky box while it’s connected to the mains supply. If you want to move your Sky box, first disconnect
it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing.
