keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, candles,
lamps,etc.
protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from
where it will not fall and is out of the reach of children,
avoid violent shocks. Choose a stable, horizontal surface on
which the Set-top box will not be exposed to intense
vibrations.
do not place anything on top of your Set-top box (as it would
restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing
prevent your Set-top box from overheating. If you place the
Set-top box in a compartment or other closed space, leave a
space of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the front
and back of the Set-top box,
connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the
socket must be near the Set-top box and easy to access. The
use ofan extension cable (with multi-points) is not
