Strong SRT ANT 12 User Manual page 5

3. Select in the Menu of your receiver the field that shows you 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 and try to reach the highest possible position.
Now slowly turn the antenna around it's 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
n
GSM telephones, Transmitters, Microwaves, etc.
Devices with high power consumption such as Electrical Heater, Air conditioner,
n
Hairdryers, etc.
B. To power the antenna with extra power adaptor
1. Use this installation if your Digital Terrestrial Receiver does not support
active antenna.
2. Connect supplied power adaptor to "DC IN"
connector on the back of antenna.
3. Proceed with positioning of antenna as
described above in section A (points 3, 4, 5).
note: The antenna will not function properly if the build-in amplifier is not powered.
Therefore it is required to supply the antenna with power via the coaxial cable or
via a external adapter.
Extension of the coaxial cable:
In some cases you may need to extend the standard supplied coaxial cable, we advise you
to only do this if you can not get a optimal signal strength within the reach of the standard
cable. If you are to extend the coaxial cable, then please note following comments:
Use a good quality coaxial cable, 75 Ohm type only with proper shielding
n
Use well shielded connectors, your dealer can advise you on this
n
Make sure that both inner cable and shielding are properly connected to the connectors to
n
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 bad quality cable will reduce the performance of your antenna.
