Always be careful when using this product. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing,
using, and maintaining your Receiver.
•Read all safety and operating instructions before operating this product.
•Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
•Heed all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.
•Follow all operating and use instructions.
•Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
•Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer.
Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
•Do not use the product where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such
as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
•Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling product
can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the product and cart with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart
unsteady and likely to overturn.
•Provide ventilation for the product. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for
ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object,
and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not
place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the product on a rack or
bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you have followed the
manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
•Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
Safety and Warning

•Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this product is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other.
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your
electrician to replace your outlet.
•Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they will not be
walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
•Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cabling during
a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This
will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
•Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be
extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such
lines can be fatal.
•Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or
electric shock.
•Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch
dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
•Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure
the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
•Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following

•If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal.
•When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional
damage to the unit.

9. Software Update
63
In order to maintain proper performance of this product, it is essential to have the most up-to-
date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at the Humax
website – http://www.humaxdigital.com.
It is recommended that you periodically check for the availability of software update.
9.1 OTA (Over the Air)
OTA, an abbreviation of "over–the-air", means that downloads the software can be downloaded
where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release through
Antenna system.
Over the Air(OTA) is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However,
the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software update can take
place by “beaming” latest software versions over the air via antenna systems. Note that OTA is
only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to different antennas having different
footprints(area where the signal can be received). The software update via satellite system will
only occur under the following circumstances.
1 The equipment should have appropriate loader software.
[Caution]
Please note that if you don't have normal loader software, the equipment may not be updated or
work after software update.
2 The manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated antenna
system
3 The equipment must be “tuned” properly to the same antenna that the manufacturer
uses.
4 Update software when the quality of receiving signal strength is high. If the weather is
not so good that the quality of receiving signal strength is not recommendable,
perform the software update later.
[Caution]
1. Please be careful to keep the power on and the power cord plugged in during software update.
If the power is off during software update, it may cause fatal damage to the product.

over the RF cable to a switching device to switch between different LNBs or dishes. The
DiSEqC uses the 22KHx signal to control the switching device.
Programme Guide (Electronic Programme Guide, EPG)
A electronic program guide (EPG) that comes with the broadcast to a particular satellite,
note that every station fills the EPG differently or not, so differences in the EPG are not
necessarily receiver errors.
Frequency
The number of cycles or events per one second, which is expressed in the unit of hertz
FTA (Free- To-Air)
An unscrambled broadcast, which you can view without additional payments to a service
provider.
Hi-Fi (High Fidelity)
The characteristics of audio devices that can play back all the audio frequencies of the
human, which is the range of 16Hz～20KHz, uniformly from the low frequency to high
frequency. Sometimes it is used to indicate good quality of an audio device such as stereo
