Safety Warnings
Read all the instructions carefully before using the unit and
keep them for future reference.
Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third party make
sure to include this manual.
Check that the voltage marked on the rating label matches
your adapter voltage.
Damage
• Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.
• Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any doubt
about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way switch off, withdraw the mains adapter and consult your
dealer.
Location of Unit
• The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and should
not be subjected to vibrations.
• Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces as the
unit may fall off or tip over.
• The mains socket must be located near the unit and should
be easily accessible.
• This unit is designed for indoor use only.
Temperature
• Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or cold.
Place the unit well away from heat sources such as radiators
or gas/electric fires.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Naked Flames
• Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the top of

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
in order to avoid a hazard.
DO NOT OPEN
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may
adversely affect the operating performance of the unit, and
cause a distorted picture or sound.
Standby
• The button on the remote control does not switch off the
unit completely. The unit will continue to draw electricity
from the mains supply while in standby. In the interests of
safety and to avoid unnecessary energy consumption, never
leave the unit in standby while unattended for long periods
of time, e.g. overnight, while on holiday or while out of the
house. Switch it off and disconnect the mains adapter from
the mains socket.
• The means of disconnecting this unit from the mains is via
the mains adaptor which must be unobstructed and capable
of being disconnected from the mains supply at all times.
Moisture
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage,
do not expose this unit to rain, moisture, dripping or
splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the unit.
• If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious
damage. Switch it off at the mains immediately. Withdraw
the mains adapter and consult your dealer.
Batteries
• Batteries used in the remote control for this unit are easily
swallowed by young children and this is dangerous.
• Keep loose batteries away from young children and make
sure that the battery holder tray is secure in the remote
control. Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has been
swallowed.
• Please dispose of batteries correctly by following the
guidance in this manual.
Ventilation
• To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to
overheating, ensure that curtains and other materials do not
obstruct the ventilation vents.
• Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in
cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure the unit is well
ventilated.
Supervision
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the unit and the remote control.
• Never let anyone especially children push anything into the
holes, slots or any other openings in the case - this could
result in a fatal electric shock.

Remote Control
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
Handling the Batteries
• Improper or incorrect use of batteries may cause corrosion or battery leakage, which could
cause fire, personal injury or damage property.
1. Squeeze the cover lever and lift the
battery cover to access the battery
compartment of the remote control.
• Only use the battery type indicated in this manual.
2. Insert two AAA size batteries
(included). Ensure the polarities (+
and –) of the batteries match the (+)
and (–) ends indicated in the battery
compartment.
• Do not install new batteries with used ones and do not mix different types of batteries.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
• Do not drop or impact the remote control.
• When the batteries are exhausted, the remote will not function. Replace both batteries at
the same time with new ones.
• Do not dispose of used batteries as domestic waste. Dispose of them in accordance with
local regulations.
Handling the Remote Control
• Do not spill water or any liquid on the remote control.
• Do not place the remote control on a wet object.
• Do not place the remote control under direct sunlight or near sources of excessive heat.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control when not in use for a long period of time,
as the batteries may leak causing corrosion that may result in physical injury and/or
property damage, including fire.
Remote Control Operation Range
The remote control can be used at a maximum of 5
metres from the unit’s remote control sensor, and
within 60° in front of the unit.
The operating distance may vary depending on the

Connecting the Receiver to a Satellite Dish
Satellite Dish Installation
20° - 30°
To receive freesat, you must connect your unit to an appropriate satellite dish.
For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly recommend that you
have your dish installed by a professional. You may be able to use a satellite dish already
installed at your home. If you have any questions about the satellite dish, please consult
your installer.
This freesat box requires a dual LNB to enable you to view and record channels at the same
time.
28.2°
Connecting the Satellite Dish to the Unit
Place the unit on a firm, level surface close to the TV, a mains electricity socket, and the
cables from the dish.
Connect the cables from your satellite dish to the sockets on the back of the unit. For full
functionality of your freesat+ recorder you will need to connect two cables from your satellite
dish. If you only have one cable, please consult your retailer or installer for advice.
Connecting the two cables
•
This allows you to watch one TV station and record another. Connect the two separate
cables from your satellite dish to each of the TUNER 1 (LNB IN) and TUNER 2 sockets. For
this, your Satellite Dish must be fitted with a Low Noise Block (LNB) that has at least two
outputs. Please check with your installer if you are not certain about this.
The “F-connector” used for the satellite dish cable connection has a central wire that is inserted into the
hole in the TUNER 1 or TUNER 2 (LNB IN) sockets while the collar is screwed onto the socket. When
screwing on the collar, make sure that the central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to one side.
DO NOT connect this unit to the mains supply until all connections have been completed.
7
SHDFSAT12_IB_V2.indd 7
13/06/2013 12:19
System and Mains Connections
Ensure your TV is switched off at the mains supply.
1. Connect the HDMI cable supplied to the HDMI socket at the back of the unit and an HDMI
socket on your TV. There may be more than one HDMI socket on your TV. If you are not sure
which one to use, check the TV’s instruction manual.
2. If your TV set does not have an HDMI connection you can connect the SCART connection on the
TV to the TV SCART socket on the unit.
3. A video recorder or DVD recorder may be connected to the unit to record freesat programmes,
back up recordings or play them back. You will need to use a SCART cable to connect the video
or DVD recorder to the VCR SCART socket on the back of the freesat box, connect the other end
to the video or DVD recorder. Check the recorder’s instruction manual for guidance.
You can also connect the unit to an analogue stereo or surround sound system, so that you can
listen to the TV sound through the sound system instead of (or as well as) the TV’s speakers.
You will need a special lead to connect the unit’s TV SCART or VCR SCART socket(s) to the
analogue inputs on your sound system to listen in stereo.

you can listen to the TV sound in digital audio quality, or even in surround sound, depending on
the sound system used and the broadcast chosen.
5. If you want to use the online features of the unit, connect a network cable from the Ethernet
network socket on the back of the unit to either your broadband modem/router or a network
switch in your home network, as appropriate. Consult your modem/router’s instruction manual
for guidance.
6. Connect the mains cable to the mains adapter and then connect to the POWER socket at the
back of the unit. Plug the mains cable into an available mains socket that is turned off.
