Safety Instructions

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Make sure all your equipment is turned off and the DVR is unplugged.

The TiVo DVR is not designed to support a heavy load, such as a TV. Your

DVR is only capable of supporting the weight of one or two common A/V components such as VCRs, DVD players, or A/V receivers (provided they have four good, broad, padded feet that distribute of the weight near the corners of the DVR).

Also, avoid stacking your DVR on top of other electronic components— such as DVD players, A/V receivers—or the vents of your TV.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions of which you should be particularly aware. Please read these instructions before operating the equipment and save them for future reference.

1. Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be read and understood before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be followed.

6. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Tilt/Stability—All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of their cabinet design. Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the product. Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on top of the cabinet. Such items could unexpectedly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

8. Ventilation—The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat—The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. 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 and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points

or short the parts, resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on this product.

FCC Information

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and the requirements adopted by ACTA. On the back of this equipment is a label that contains a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to your telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may connect to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact your local telephone company. For product approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without the decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

If your TiVo DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the

FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this TiVo DIGITAL VIDEO

RECORDER does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

If trouble is experienced with this unit, for repair or warranty information, please contact customer service at the address and phone listed below. If the equipment is causing harm to the network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS EQUIPMENT. It does not contain any user serviceable components.

We recommend the installation of an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lighting transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC power sources.

Telephone Line Interruption

Periodically, the TiVo ® Digital Video Recorder dials in to the TiVo ® service via your telephone line. If you pick up your telephone during the time information is being transferred, you will hear static noise. If you would like to use your telephone while the information is being transferred, you can hang up, wait about 45 seconds, and pick up your telephone again.

The TiVo Digital Video Recorder will disconnect, and allow you to place your call. You can also interrupt the transfer at any time by temporarily unplugging the phone line from the Digital Recorder. If the transfer is interrupted, it will resume at a later time. This does not apply if you connect to the TiVo service via a broadband connection.

Digital Cable Programming Support

This TiVo ® brand digital set-top box is capable of receiving analog basic, digital basic, and digital premium cable television programming by direct connection to a cable system providing such programming. A security card

(CableCARD TM ) provided by your cable operator is required to view encrypted digital cable programming. In order to enjoy dual channel recording of encrypted digital cable programming, your TiVo Series3 HD

DVR requires two (2) CableCARD TM decoders.

Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services such as video-ondemand, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide, and data-enhanced television services may require the use of a separate cable companyprovided set-top box . If you wish to receive interactive digital cable services, please contact your local cable company to request connection of a cable company-provided digital set top box to a separate input on your television. Our TiVo Series3 HD DVR will continue to record and play analog basic, digital basic and digital premium cable television programming as usual, and with most televisions, you will be able to switch inputs to receive the interactive digital cable services.

For more information about interactive digital cable services, please call your local cable operator.
