Installation Of The Antenna - Strong SRT ANT 12 User Manual

5.0 Installation of the antenna

A. To power the antenna with Digital Terrestrial Receiver
1. Turn on your TV set and turn on your Digital Terrestrial Receiver.
2. Press the "MENU" button on the remote control of your Digital Terrestrial Receiver. Check in the
Set-Up or Installation Menu of your Receiver if the antenna power is set to "ON". (Normally this is
indicated in the menu as ANT power, Ext Antenna power or Active antenna power).
Refer to the User Manual of your Digital Terrestrial Receiver.
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 GSM
n
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.
