Chapter 2
Installation
This chapter describes how to install the BMC and verify the installation. The chapter also contains
information to help you successfully disconnect, move, and reconnect the cable connections between
the BMC and the TV.
When connecting the BMC, make sure all coaxial connections are "finger-tight"—secure, but not so
tight they cannot be undone with your fingers. You do not need any special tools to disconnect the
BMC, although you may need a wrench to loosen any tight connections.
Warnings
 Do not connect the
BMC unit to any switched power source.
 Do not operate the
BMC on its side (vertically).
 Use only the power cord supplied with the
BMC and use that cord only for the BMC.
 Keep the
BMC on, unless moving or servicing the unit. If power is removed, or a power
outage occurs, it will take several minutes after power is restored for the unit to
resume normal operations.
Ventilation Requirements
Allow adequate ventilation and airflow around the BMC to prevent overheating.
Warnings
 Cabinet installations must have open airflow or no doors.
 Vents must be unobstructed and open to surrounding air.
 Ensure top, side, and back clearance of at least two inches.
 Keep away from other heat-generating devices.
