Frequently Asked Questions - AA 04 ZEHNDER

How to connect the AA 04 antenna?

Connect the coaxial extension cable to the antenna and your DTT adapter. If the DTT adapter provides 5V via the coaxial cable, the power adapter is unnecessary. Otherwise, plug the power adapter into the back of the antenna.

Can I use the antenna without the power adapter?

Yes, if your DTT adapter delivers 5V/40mA power through the coaxial cable (core +, braid -). In that case, do not plug the power adapter.

How to improve reception?

Gently rotate the antenna or change its polarization (horizontal/vertical). Move it higher or near a window. Use the reception level display on your DTT adapter.

What to do in case of GSM interference?

The AA 04 antenna has a built-in filter against GSM signals, reducing interference from mobile phones.

Can I mount the antenna on the wall?

Yes, use the supplied wall mounting kit. Drill two holes 5.8 mm in diameter and 35 mm deep, insert the wall plugs and screw in the screws leaving 10 mm protruding. Then hang the support stand.

How to clean the AA 04 antenna?

First unplug the power adapter and the coaxial extension cable. Use a soft slightly damp cloth to wipe the housing. Do not use harsh chemicals.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Do not place the antenna near a heat source, in direct sunlight, or in a humid environment. Use only the supplied power adapter and plug it into an easily accessible outlet to unplug in case of danger.

Does the antenna work with a satellite adapter?

No, never connect the antenna to a satellite adapter. It is designed only for DTT adapters.

What to do if reception is poor in a low signal area?

If the signal is too weak, an outdoor broadband roof antenna may be necessary. The indoor AA 04 antenna is optimal for medium signal levels.

How to dispose of the antenna at end of life?

In accordance with the WEEE directive, do not dispose of the device with household waste. Take it to an official collection point for recycling.

Accessories attached :

1) Antenna AA 04
2) Foot for standing or wall mounting
3) Wall mounting kit
4) F-connector to IEC-connector antenna coaxial cable, 2m
5) Power adaptor 9VDC/100mA

Location and Installation Notes:

• 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.

Operation Notes:

• 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.

Tips 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.

Wall mounting installation (see sketch)

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.
