2. Press the “MENU” button on the remote control of your Digital Terrestrial Receiver.
Check in the Set-Up or Installation menu of your receiver if the antenna power
is set to “ON”. (Normally this is indicated in the menu as ANT power, Ext Antenna
power or Active antenna power.) *
3. Select in the menu of your receiver the field that shows the signal level indicators.
(Normally you can find the signal meter in the Channel Scan field of the menu.)
4. Now optimise the signal strength by finding the best position for the antenna.
Keep the antenna in your hand, try to reach the highest possible position. Now
slowly turn the antenna around its axis (in the horizontal field), at the same
time monitor the signal bars in the menu. Once the signal indicator shows the
maximum signal, fix the antenna on that position.
5. It is important to place the antenna in such way that an acceptable signal level is
assured. You can optimise the signal strength by moving the antenna to different
locations in your room, for example place it near a window, or place it on a high
placed book-shelf. The best position can be found by trying different locations.
NOTE:
It is recommended NOT to place the antenna near to:
Devices that are strong source of radiation or interference such as DECT and GSM
telephones, transmitters, microwaves, etc.
Devices with high power consumption such as electrical heater, air conditioner,
hairdryers, etc.
* If you can not find this option in the menu of your Digital Terrestrial Receiver, please check in your user manual if your receiver supports active antenna power (5 V DC
via the RF cable). If you are not sure; please contact your dealer.
In case this option is not supported by your Digital Receiver you need to connect an external
power supply to power the antenna. Ask your electronic dealer for an external 230 V AC to DC
power adapter that supplies 12 V DC, 250 mA. Note that the + and the – of the power adaptor
are located as follows:
The connector for the external power supply can be found at the backside of the antenna.
NOTE:
The antenna will not function properly if the built-in amplifier is not
powered. Therefore it is required to supply the antenna with power via the
RF cable or via an external adapter.
Extension of the RF cable:
In some cases you may need to extend the standard supplied RF cable, we advise you to only do
this if you can’t get optimal signal strength within the reach of the standard cable. If you are to
extend the RF cable, then please note following comments:
Use a good quality RF cable, 75 Ohm type only with proper shielding
Use well shielded connectors, your dealer can advise you on this.
Make sure that both inner cable and shielding are properly connected to the connectors
to assure active antenna power supply and to avoid short circuit in the cable.
If you extend the cable, please keep the cable as short as strictly needed. Extending the cable or
using a bad quality cable will reduce the performance of your antenna.
