Safety & Care
• Do not drop your DIRECTV Receiver and always move it with care.
• Place it on a fl at, hard surface — do not operate the DIRECTV Receiver on a carpet or other
padded surface. Ensure that the rack or cabinet the receiver is placed on is stable, and not subject to
being tipped over.
• Ensure proper ventilation — the slots on top of the DIRECTV Receiver must be left uncovered
to allow proper airfl ow to the unit. Blocking the airfl ow to the unit could impair performance or
damage your receiver and other components.
• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DIRECTV Receiver. Also, do
not stack the receiver on top of a “hot component ” such as an audio power amplifi er.
• Avoid heat — do not place the DIRECTV Receiver near heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other appliances.
• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV Receiver (other than the
DIRECTV
®
Access Card as detailed in this chapter).
• Clean your receiver with a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner, removing
dust from the ventilation holes on the top and bottom. Avoid alcohol or
oil-based furniture solvents — a non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner/polisher is recommended.
• Use only manufacturer authorized accessories and parts.
