Frequently Asked Questions - A5960 Clas Ohlson

How do I set up the Clas Ohlson A5960 antenna?

Connect the coaxial cable to the antenna's F-type connector and to your TV. Place the antenna near a window or high location for best reception. Scan for channels on your TV.

Is the A5960 suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?

The A5960 is designed for indoor use. For outdoor installation, you may need a weatherproof model or a protective cover.

What type of TV signal does this antenna support?

It supports DVB-T/T2 (digital terrestrial) and analogue TV broadcasts within VHF and UHF frequency ranges.

Do I need to plug the antenna into a power outlet?

No, the A5960 is a passive antenna and does not require an external power source. It works solely on the signal received.

Can I mount the antenna on a wall?

Yes, the A5960 includes a wall mount bracket (or can be placed on a tabletop). Follow the included instructions for secure mounting.

What should I do if I receive no channels after scanning?

Ensure the coaxial cable is tightly connected. Try relocating the antenna to a higher position or near a window. Check that your TV's input source is set to antenna/terrestrial.

Does the A5960 work with FM radio?

The A5960 is optimized for TV frequencies (VHF/UHF). It may pick up FM radio signals in the 88–108 MHz range, but FM reception is not guaranteed.

How far can the antenna be from the broadcast tower?

Typical range for indoor antennas is 20–40 km (12–25 miles) from the transmitter, depending on obstacles. For greater distances, consider an amplified or outdoor antenna.

Can I split the signal to multiple TVs?

You can use a signal splitter, but this will reduce signal strength. For best results, use a powered splitter/amplifier or connect the antenna directly to one TV.

How do I clean the antenna?

Disconnect the antenna from the TV. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning agents, as they may damage the electronics.

3. Bag with screws for multi attachment (4 plugs and 4 screws)
4. Attachment for mounting on mast (1 U-shackle, 2 washers, 2 wing nuts)
5. Connection box
6. Transformer (230 V AC)
7. Antenna cable (male plug - f-plug male)
8. Mounting instructions

Installation

Note:

For best possible result consider this:

1. Place the antenna as far away from other electrical devices as possible. Devices such as radiators, microwave ovens, hair dryers or computers can interfere with the reception.
2. Place the antenna as high as possible to get the best antenna signal. The more walls, houses, trees etc. that the antenna signal passes on its way, the worse reception. Therefore the best reception is achieves with as high and clear a mounting as possible.

Antenna is supplied with power from TV or digital TV receiver.

NOTE: the built-in amplifier in the antenna needs power to work.

Terristrial digital decoders can supply power via their antenna outputs. Most of the time you have to activate the power supply in the digital decoders menu. It is often labelled antenna power or 5 V.

Wall installation indoor/outdoor

For installation on wood

Step 1 Mark with a pen where the antenna should be placed: (Use the multi attachment as template for the marking)

Attach the multi attachment with the included screws. Use a screwdriver.

Installation on concrete or cement.

Step 1 Mark with help of the multi attachment where to drill the hole. Put e.g. (if the wall is shiny) a piece of tape on before marking. To make sure that the drill does not slide during drilling. Use a concrete drill size 5.8 mm and drill a 35 mm deep hole.

Mount expander plugs in the drilled hole.

Attach the multi attachment with the included screws.

Step 2 Mount the antenna on the multi attachment.

Step 3 The antenna cable connects to the antenna's F-plug and the plug in the other end connects to the TV or the Digital TV receiver. The F-plug should be screwed on to the antenna and then covered by the moisture protection.

Remember to make a drip loop so that water can not come in through the cable.

Step 4 Adjust the direction of the antenna for best reception.

Mounting on a mast

Step 1 Mount the 2 U-bolts onto the multi attachment and screw on the wing nuts a little.

Step 2 Lower the multi attachment with the U-bolts over the mast to the point where the antenna is to be mounted. If the multi attachment can not be lowered over the mast due to it being too high, you can mount the U-bolts while the multi attachment is placed on the mast. The wing nuts can then be mounted.

Step 3 Tighten the wing nuts – however not too much so the antenna will not turn.

Step 4 The long antenna cable connects to the antenna's F-plug and the plug in the other end connects to the TV or the Digital TV receiver. The F-plug should be screwed on to the antenna and then covered by the moisture protection.

Remember to make a drip loop so that water can not come in through the cable.

Step 5 Adjust the direction of the antenna for best reception.

Step 6 Now tighten the wing nuts so much that the antenna will not move or turn.
