• The device may not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibra-
tions, high humidity (e.g. droplets or splashes of water) or strong mechani-
cal stress. There is a risk of damage or an electric shock.
• Do not place naked flames, such as burning candles, on or close to the
device.
• Only use the device in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
• Do not leave packing materials unattended. It may be dangerous for chil-
dren to play with.
• If you have doubts about how the equipment should be operated or how to
connect it safely, consult a trained technician.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in this instruction manual,
please contact our technical support centre or consult a professional.
Features
• Sleek, modern design
• Low-noise amplifier technology
• Built-in filter to avoid GSM interference (mobiles).
Set-up
Do not drill any additional holes or screw any additional screws into the
housing when mounting the appliance, as doing so could damage it.
When setting up the antenna, make sure that it has a secure footing and is
on a stable surface, as people could be injured if the device falls down.
Avoid placing the DVB-T Active Antenna near devices which can transmit
interference (e.g., microwave ovens, cordless phones, powerful engines,
etc.).
You should also not install the device close to large metal surfaces, because
these may strongly weaken the received signal.
Place the antenna at the highest possible location, since experience shows
that this is where the reception is best. Installing it close to a window may
also improve reception.
Place the antenna on a flat surface.
Connection and Getting Started
The antenna cable of the antenna must be connected to the antenna inputs
of the receivers.
Use only the included power adapter for the power supply.
If your receiving device has a built-in power supply (phantom power) for
the antenna (eg DVB-T receivers), turn off this power supply (see operating
manual of the device).
• Connect the plug with the included antenna cable to the connector TO RECEIVER on
the antenna base.
• Connect the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna input of the receiving
device. If you want to connect the antenna to a radio, a suitable coaxial adapter is
required (not included).
• Connect the low voltage AC adapter plug to the DC5V connector on the antenna
base.
• Plug the power unit into a wall outlet of the public power supply grid.
• Once the antenna is receiving power, the function indicator on the antenna base
lights up .
• Switch on your receiver and select a programme.
• Try to optimise the reception by changing the position of the antenna.

The product may only be used indoors, never outdoors. Do not expose the device to
damp, e.g. in bathrooms etc.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to this product and
involve the risk of short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc.
No part of the product should be modified or reassembled.
This product fulfills the national and European guidelines and specifications.
Always observe the safety instructions.
Explanation of Symbols

Safety instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to ob-
serve these safety instructions! We do not assume liability for any resulting
damage.
We do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by
improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions. The warranty
will be void in such cases.
• For safety reasons, unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the
product are not permitted.
• The power unit has been constructed according to Protection Class II and
may be operated only on a public power supply outlet.
• The mains socket to which the device is connected must be close to the
device and easy to reach so that the device can be quickly and easily
disconnected from the mains power supply in the case of a fault.
• Never touch the power unit with wet or damp hands. There is a risk of a
lethal electric shock!
• Never replace a damaged connecting cable of the power unit. If the con-
necting cable is damaged, the power unit is unusable and must be dis-
posed of. Do not repair.
• In order to disconnect the unit from the power system completely the
power supply must be disconnected from the power socket.
• The manufacturer’s safety instructions for devices to which the loud-
speakers will be connected must also be observed. You should, therefore,
also carefully read other relevant operating instructions.
• Do not operate the product if it is damaged.
• This product is not a toy, and should be kept out of the reach of children.
Children cannot see the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical
devices.
• Never pour out fluids above electrical devices. Do not place any contain-
ers with liquids, such as buckets, vases or plants, in the immediate prox-
imity of the product. Liquids could get inside the housing and thus impair
electrical safety. There is a danger of fire or of a life-threatening electric
shock! If a liquid has entered the device, switch off the respective socket
(e.g. switch off circuit breaker) and pull the mains unit from the socket. Af-
terwards the product must no longer be used. Please take it to a specialist.
