Operate the antenna only at dry indoor places.

• Rooms with windows are the most suitable locations to get best reception quality with sufficiently high signal level.

• Do not subject it to direct sunlight for longer periods, because material can change for the worse.

• Do not place the antenna close to heaters or naked lights (e.g. candles). There might be a danger of fire!

• Place the antenna on a safe and firm ground.

• Protect the device from moisture, drips and splashes. Cleaning Before cleaning, unplug the antenna from power and antenna cable. Use only a soft and slightly moistened cloth to clean the casing.

In areas with low or too high reception-field strength, interference-free reception is not always guaranteed. If the signal level is too low, a directional antenna should be placed outside the building.

• In the immediate vicinity of the transmitter, reception may be impaired by a too high reception level. In this case, you should avoid setting up the antenna near a window.

• Indoor radio reception can also be impaired by other factors: - rooms in reinforced concrete buildings - rooms with vapour-plated windows - in positions directly beside transmitting electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones)

Installation (Please refer to illustration): Step 1. Take the IEC cable attached, and then connect one end to the IEC port, and the other end to your DVB-T receiver shown in illustration Attention! Don´t connect to a Satellite-Receiver! Step 2. Take the power adaptor attached and Insert the end of DC connector into DC jack on the back of AA04, and then plug in the A/C end. ***** If your DVB-T receiver (e.g. Zehnder TX 60) supplies with 5 VDC from IEC connector, then it is not necessary to use the power adaptor. Step 3. Take the standing unit attached , and then plug into the hole shown in illustration to keep it standing. Before, check the position of rotating hole for either vertical or horizontal direction. Step 4. Connect your receiver and your TV by Scart Cable (see receiver manual) and switch them on. ***** If your DVB-T receiver supplies with 5 VDC, ensure in the set-up menu of the receiver, that the power supply to the antenna via the coax cable is switched on.

9Tips for correct Antenna Adjustment

To verify the quality of reception, you can use either the TV picture or the option of displaying the reception level and signal quality in the set-up menu of your receiver. If reception is subject to interference, turn the antenna slightly, or alter the direction of polarisation by titling it sideways (horizontal – vertical), and check the quality of reception. If it is impossible to get optimum reception, set the antenna up in a different place (we recommend a position close to a window), and repeat the steps described above. Even for wall mounting installation, before you should check antenna position at the wall and in the room for best possible reception quality. Connecting Illustration

1. After you found the best location to place the antenna at the wall, mark with

a pencil the 2 positions for the wholes to fix the standing unit.

2. Drill with a 5,8mm-drill the two wholes into the depth of about 35mm. (If you

install to a wooden wall you do not need to drill and use the plastic poles)

3. Hammer the two plastic poles with a hammer into the wholes.

4. Screw the screws with a screwdriver into the plastic pole as far as you still

easily can hook the standing unit of the antenna. Leave the screws about 10mm out of the wall.

5. Connect all cables and hook the antenna onto the screws.
