found by trying different locations.
NOTE:
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.
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
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
b
ad quality cable will reduce the performance of your antenna
