User manual PHILIPS SDV2270

[. . . ] Choose an installation site for safety as well as performance. All electric power lines, cable lines and telephone lines look alike. To be safe, assume ANY overhead line can kill you. Do not place an antenna where it could potentially fall on to, or blow into a power line. [. . . ] Outdoor antennas should be grounded with an approved lighting arresting device. Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to your installation depending on your proximity to an airport, or local ordinances. Take the time to plan your installation procedure. do all assembly work on the antenna on the ground. Raise the completed antenna after assembly. If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get away from it and let it fall. Remember that the antenna mast and cable are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Do NOT work on a wet, snowy or windy day or if a thunderstorm is approaching. Be sure that there are two other people available for help. If any part of the antenna should come in contact with a power line . Call your local power company immediately. Do not tighten fully, just snug enough for the assembly to stay in place (fig. Attach the L-Bracket to the wall / mast bracket using cross head screw and nut, Note the orientation of the bracket. Adjustment of the antenna direction will be done by rotating the mast in its mount. Attach the cable to the `F' connector on the underside of the unit and weather protection boot over the connection (fig. Before You Start Connections to your TV For this antenna to work properly, you must access the menu on the television you are connecting this antenna to (consult your television owner's manual) then set it to receive the signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or SATELLITE. As previously noted the amplifier (Power Injector + Power supply) must be placed in-line between the antenna and before any splitter or additional devices. Connect Power Injector to the antenna input on your TV, Splitter and / or any other device. Connect the Power Supply DC plug to the Power Injector then plug the power supply adapter into a 110/120 Volt AC receptacle. Safety Note - The power injector and power supply is for indoor use only!If your TV has separate inputs for UHF and VHF you will need to purchase a signal splitter that will separate the two different signals. If your TV has only two screw type antenna inputs you will need to purchase a 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm transformer. [. . . ] A note about coaxial cable ­ Your SDV2270 includes a 20 foot roll of RG-59 coaxial cable. If you should find that this is not adequate for your needs we recommend for best possible signal integrity that you do not extend this cable. A better choice is to replace the cable with either RG-6 or RG-6 Quad Shield cable. Both of these cables are designed for minimal signal loss over longer cable runs. [. . . ]
