Safety Instructions for
TiVo Products
Before you begin installation, make sure all of the equipment you will be using is turned off, and TiVo
Mini is unplugged.
TiVo Mini was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards.
There are, however, some installation and operating precautions of which you should be particularly
aware:
1. Read and Follow Instructions – Read and follow all safety instructions before installing
or operating TiVo Mini.
2. Retain Instructions – Retain these safety instructions for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – Be particularly aware of any warnings displayed on TiVo Mini and in
these safety instructions.
4. Ventilation – Make completely sure the air vents on both the top and bottom of TiVo Mini
are not blocked. Place TiVo Mini on a hard surface so the “feet” can provide a space
between the bottom ventilation holes and that surface. Do not put TiVo Mini on a soft
surface, such as a bed, sofa, rug, carpet, etc. Do not put TiVo Mini in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or cabinet, because this may impede the flow of air through the
ventilation openings. Never place anything on top of TiVo Mini.
5. Water and Moisture – Do not place or use TiVo Mini near water – for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub; or in a wet basement; or near a swimming
pool, etc.
6. Heat – Do not place or use TiVo Mini near heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
7. Wall Mounting – Do not mount TiVo Mini on a wall, without using TiVo Mini Wall
Mount Kit. Failure to use the correct hardware and/or to follow the correct procedures
could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system. Read the
instructions that come with the mounting kit carefully before beginning installation.
8. Carts – Move a cart and TiVo product combination with care. Quick stops, excessive
force and uneven surfaces could cause the cart and TiVo product combination to overturn.
9. Tilt/Stability – All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety
standards for tilt and stability properties of their cabinet design. Do not compromise these
design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which
could ultimately overturn the product. Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by
placing electronic equipment and/or toys on top of the cabinet. Such items could
unexpectedly fall from the top of the set, causing product damage and/or personal injury.
10. Power Cord Protection – Route power supply cords so they are unlikely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from a TiVo product.
