User manual STRONG SRT ANT 12

[. . . ] This DVB-T Antenna is a "Active type" antenna, it has an build-in low noise amplifier that amplifies the received signals for better performance. We recommend you to carefully read this user manual before you install the antenna, this will help you to get the best performance out of your antenna. Specifications: Frequency range: Gain: RF Output Impedance: Power Supply - 2 powering methods: VHF 47 ~ 230 MHz, UHF 470 ~ 870 MHz 20 dB ± 3 dB for VHF and UHF 75 Ohm 5 V DC 40 mA via ANTENNA connector of the digital terrestrial receiver or 9 V DC 100 mA via External 230 V AC to DC adapter English Special Features: n Built-in Low Noise Amplifier technology n High Directionality: optimised pointing to the transmitter and reduced pick-up of disturbing signals 2. 0 PACKAGE CONTENTS n n n n n SRT ANT 12 ­ Active DVB-T Indoor Antenna Standing unit ­ for horizontal / vertical installation mechanism Coaxial Cable - 2 meter Adaptor User Manual PART 1 · English Main unit Stand Coaxial Cable Adaptor 3. 0 SAFETY NOTES Use only originally supplied accessories Before you make any connections: disconnect your equipment from the 230 V main power to avoid electrical shocks during installation n Short Circuit in the coaxial cable MAY permanently damage your Digital Receiver n Never install the Antenna outside your house or in humid rooms such as bathrooms n Never use AC Adaptors with wrong specifications, this MAY permanently damage your antenna or Digital Receiver. [. . . ] 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. 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: n Devices that are strong source of radiation or interference such as DECT and GSM telephones, Transmitters, Microwaves, etc. n Devices with high power consumption such as Electrical Heater, Air conditioner, Hairdryers, etc. To power the antenna with extra power adaptor 1. Use this installation if your Digital Terrestrial Receiver does not support active antenna. Connect supplied power adaptor to "DC IN" connector on the back of antenna. 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: n 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 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. [. . . ] Power Saving To save power and money, please put the product into standby mode when not in use. We also recommend disconnection from mains supply when not in use for longer periods of time.
