Determine the signal strength
3 Get started
Before Installation, determine the best
location for optimum reception. It is important
for the antenna to have an unobstructed path
to the transmitter. For best results, ensure the
antenna faces the location of the transmitter.
Installation
Installation information
Note
This antenna uses a power inserter module to
power the antenna amplifier.
• Indoor, choose a location near a window
which gives the antenna a clear view of the
transmitter.
It is essential for proper operation of this
antenna system that the power inserter
be connected between the antenna and
any devices such as splitters, matching
transformers, networks, etc.
Note
• Place the antenna away from metal surface to
avoid interference.

Warning
• The power inserter and power supply are for
indoor use only.
Tip
• This antenna includes a 6m roll of 3C-2V
coaxial cable. If this is not adequate for your
needs, replace the cable with a RG-6 coaxial
cable instead of adding an extension.
Set up a digital tuner with this
antenna
You can install available channels with the digital
TV tuner.This automatic process is part of the
setup of the tuner. Ensure the antenna has
set up properly before the tuner can receive
viewable channels.
Connect to theTV
Note
• As previously noted, the amplifier (Power
inserter + Power supply) must be placed in-
line between the antenna and any splitter or
additional devices.
There are two ways to connect the antenna to
theTV:
•
Connect the antenna to a digital tuner.
If the signal strength is good enough, the
channels can be memorized in the tuner
automatically .
1 Connect the coaxial cable from the
antenna to the connector labeled ANT
on the power inserter
.
•
Connect the antenna directly to the TV.
Tune to the analogue channels and find
the best antenna location. Then re-
connect the antenna to the digital tuner.
Ensure the signal strength is good enough
before you install the channels with the
tuner.
2 Connect the power inserter to the
antenna input on the TV, digital set-top
box, splitter or other devices.
3 Connect the power supply plug to
the power inserter , and then plug the
power supply adaptor into a 100-240V
AC receptacle.

range of electromagnetic waves which lies
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).
A
Amplifier
A device, either a single stage or a large scale
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain,
i.e. it makes small signals larger.
V
VHF (Very high frequency)
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency
range of electromagnetic waves which lies
between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.
Antenna
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a
transmitted RF signal.
C
Coaxial
A single copper conductor, surrounded with
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding
copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket.
An unbalanced transmission line with constant
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly
used for low level, line signals terminated in
RCA connectors.
F
FM (Frequency Modulation)

in which the frequency of the carrier voltage
is varied with the frequency of the modulation
voltage.
H
HDTV (High-Definition Television)
It is a digital television broadcasting system
with higher resolution than traditional
television systems (standard-definition TV,
or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast;
the earliest implementations used analog
