Motorola DCT3412 - Manual (Page 17)

Section 3
Installation
This section provides instructions to cable the DCT3412 and check its operation. The cabling
diagrams illustrate connections to high-definition or standard-definition TVs, home theater
receivers, and stereo VCRs.
Important Safety Considerations
The DCT3412 requires careful handling to avoid potential damage to its internal hard disk drive
or the loss of recorded data. Be sure to follow these requirements during transportation and
installation.
During Transportation to the Subscriber Home
Transport the cable terminal in its shipping box or an equally padded container.
Do not expose the terminal to rain or moisture.
During Installation
Do not place the cable terminal in an enclosed area where the cooling vents are blocked or
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
Install the terminal so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For
example, do not place the terminal on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the
ventilation openings.
Install the terminal away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, and stoves.
Installation of the terminal near consumer electronics devices, such as stereo
receiver/amplifiers and televisions, is permitted as long as the air surrounding the terminal
does not exceed 40º C (104º F).
Place the terminal on a flat surface not prone to vibration or impact.
Do not install the terminal in an area where condensation occurs.
To prevent the temporary loss of guide data and cause a temporarily non-responding terminal,
do not plug the AC power cord into a switched power outlet.
To avoid shock and vibration damage to the internal hard drive, do not move the terminal while
it is plugged in.
