Safety precautions

Thank you for choosing this product. This manual will guide you for the proper operation of your set top box. Before operating the set top box, please read this manual thoroughly. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. Read the corresponding instructions of this handbook prior to the first use of the device, even when the usage of electronic devices is familiar to you.

IMPORTANT - Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating.

Power Source

Always use the provided AC adapter.

Operate only from the power source specified on the AC adapter.

The power adapter may become hot during normal operation. This is not a malfunction.

Please make sure that the adapter is not covered while in operation. Leave a space of 15 cm (minimum) around the AC adapter.

The rating information and safety caution of the AC adapter are provided on the adapter.

WARNING: When the set is not in use for a long time, disconnect from the power.

Power Cord

Do not place the unit or a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock.

Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock.

Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help.

Position

Please do not place the unit in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in a location near heat sources.

The device should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the device. Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the device.

The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do not put the device into closed areas and do not cover it.

Please avoid contact of the device with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near a bath or swimming pools.

Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the device in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the device.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the device and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

The device should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the device.

CE

Batteries

Do not dispose of batteries with normal household waste, take to a local recycling centre.

CAUTION: Insert the batteries / rechargeable batteries in the correct polarity. Don't try to recharge non rechargeable batteries and under no circumstances throw them into fire. Danger of explosion.

Do not use unequal batteries (old and new, alkaline and carbon, etc.) simultaneously.

If you will not use the device for a long time, remove the batteries and store the device in a dry and dust free place.

Setting up your Freesat box

How to set up your box

1. With the power on your box turned off, screw in the cables from your satellite dish into the port(s) on the back of the box. If you want to record to this box please make sure you screw two cables into the box before turning it on. If you only screw one cable in, the box will not be able to record until two cables are screwed in and you change the set up from 'single' to 'dual' in Settings Freesat Channels menu, or do a Factory reset.

2. Now connect your box to your TV using the HDMI cable supplied.

3. Next, connect your box to your home broadband by plugging in an Ethernet cable, or connect to WiFi once the box is switched on.

4. Finally, plug the box in and switch it on at the socket.

Connect to your broadband

Connect your box to your home broadband to access great On Demand players and extra features like Showcase and the Roll Back TV Guide.

The best way to connect is with an Ethernet cable. Slot one end into the Ethernet port on the back of the box and the other into an Ethernet port on your router.

Alternatively you can connect to your home WiFi network once the box is switched on.

Press HOME, go to Settings then Network Connection and the box will show all available wireless networks. Select yours and enter your password using your remote control, and you're all set.

On-screen set up

Just follow the on-screen instructions to get set up. Here are a couple of tips.

Software updates

When the box is turned on for the first time it will search for software updates. If an update is available you can choose to install it immediately, but if you don't want to the box will automatically run the update later.

Enter your postcode

This will give you your local regional channels and news from the BBC and ITV. Enter your postcode using the on-screen keyboard and make sure you include the space (Screen 1).

Protect your children's viewing

Important - Hard Disk Information

This box has a built in hard disk (HDD) for recording and playback. Please be aware of the following points when setting up and using the Recorder. Failure to observe these precautions may cause damage to the HDD itself or its content, failure of the disk to operate, or record sound.

- Do not subject the Recorder to any vibration or impact.

- Do not place the Recorder in a cramped location which might block the ventilation port on the back of the Recorder.

- Do not place the Recorder in a location with severe temperature variation.

• If the Recorder is set up in a location with severe temperature variation, condensation may form on and inside the Recorder.

If the Recorder is used when condensation is present it may cause damage to the HDD resulting in malfunction. We recommend keeping variation in room temperature within 10°C per hour.

- Do not place the Recorder in a location with high humidity.

- Place the Recorder horizontally, never at an incline.

- Do not place a magnetic device (magnet etc.) close to the recorder.

- When the power is on, do not unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

- When moving the Recorder, first turn off the power and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Recording Format

HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate format (VBR) for more efficient recording. The following may occur:

- With the variable bit rate format, the remaining amount of recordable space may increase or decrease relative to the display of the remaining amount of HDD space.

- With auto delete turned on, your box will replace the oldest recordings first when it runs out of recording space, so that you can record new programmes.

- Kept recordings will never be deleted by the auto delete process.

• Even if you delete a programme, the remaining amount may not increase by the amount of deleted time.

Unrecordable Material

In the unlikely event that there is some problem like loss of

recorded video or audio content due to an HDD malfunction, please be aware beforehand that Bush will bear no responsibility to compensate for the content which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or indirect damages.

If a power failure occurs

• The content being recorded or set to record may not complete if power failure occurs.

• The content being played back may be damaged.

For important recording

NOTE

- If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed (such as "ERROR IN HDD. CANNOT OPERATE.") and the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD by yourself. If you disassemble the Recorder, the warranty will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible.

Hard Disk Operation (Recording / Playback / Time Shift Recording)

If the Recorder is used in a cold location, the drive will only allow live viewing after power is turned on until the HDD is ready. During this time, the Recorder will not allow Time Shift Viewing, recording, display of recording lists or playback of recorded programmes. Please wait until the HDD is ready.
