This symbol indicates important instructions accompanying the product. WARNING To reduce risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose this receiver to rain or moisture. WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN This symbol indicates "dangerous voltage" inside the product that presents a risk of electric shock or personal injury. Cautions Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DSS® Receiver. The slots on top of the receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. [. . . ] Although the signal strength may appear to change, this may be due to different types of interference. To fine-tune the dish, consult the DSS Installation Guide and follow the instructions on adjusting the dish elevation and azimuth. While the maximum signal strength is 100, the signal strength you achieve will probably be less. Although there is no difference in picture quality between a signal strength of 60 and 85, the higher the signal, the less likely you are to experience negative effects in degraded conditions such as rain or snow (called "rain fade"). 53 The Menu System Home Control Home Control lets you remotely control several lamps and appliances through your DSS® receiver.
