Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to. 11. Power Sources This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 12. Grounding or Polarization This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. Alternate Warnings If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, the plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. 13. Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system Is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A. 15. Lightning For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug It from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. 16. Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them may be fatal. 17. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

4. Important Safety Instructions (cont.) 18. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. 19. Servicing Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 20. Damage Requiring Service Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product, C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation, E. If the product has been dropped or damaged in anyway, and F. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service. 21.

6. General Description / Features General Description DM-1CH is a composite video input standard definition DVB-T modulator which provides COFDM RF signal in range of 50-860MHz. It is designed to achieve 576i/480i (PAL/NTSC) by using MPEG2 low latency encoding engine and state-of-the-art DVB-T modulation technologies. It is an excellent choice to transport video/audio signals from TV satellite receivers, surveillance camera or video/media players to a LCD TV or set-top box. It can be used in series with other DM-1CH so the number of channels in the coaxial cable on the SMATV system can be increased as desired. Features Single input modulator that converts analogue A/V source to a DVB-T channel Programmable channel name and logical channel number insertion (LCN) Multiple video format compatibility including 576i(PAL) and 480i(NTSC) Multiple audio format compatibility including MPEG-1 Layer II Frequency range : 50~860MHz High output level up to 90 dbuv Carriers 2K and 8K Programmable video/audio/pcr PID User friendly setup and control Compact and wall mountable
