11. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into a TiVo product through
cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short the parts, increasing the
risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on a TiVo product.
12. Damage Requiring Service – A TiVo product should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
a. the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed;
b. liquid has spilled into the product;
c. the product has been exposed to rain or water;
d. the product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions
(adjust only those controls discussed in this guide, as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage, often requiring extensive work by a qualified techni-
cian to restore the product to normal performance);
e. the product has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;
f. the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Servicing – Do not attempt service to a TiVo product beyond that described in the
troubleshooting chapter (see Troubleshooting TiVo Mini on page 35). All other servicing
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
14. Cleaning – Unplug all TiVo products from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners; use a damp cloth for cleaning. If a TiVo product comes
in contact with any liquid, unplug the power adapter and let the product dry thoroughly
before plugging it back in.
15. Power Source – TiVo products should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label or in this guide. If you are unsure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
16. Overloaded Power Outlets – Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, because
this increases the risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Coaxial Cable Grounding – Ground the coaxial cable shield/screen as close as practical
to the point of entry of the cable into the home. For products sold in the United States and
Canada, this is per Article 800-93 and Article 800-100 of the NEC (or Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1), which provides guidelines for proper grounding of the coaxial cable shield.
18. Electric Shock – Do not disassemble a TiVo product – to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Take it to a qualified service person when service or repair work is required. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
19. Moving – Avoid moving a TiVo product when it is plugged in – to avoid accumulative
shock.
20. CAUTION – Battery Replacement – There is a danger of explosion if a battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type of battery
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
