Optimising the Reception
Tip
Before installing the antenna, we recommend to test the reception and look for the most suitable reception location, prefer-
ably where you are going to mount the antenna later. Pay attention to how the cables are going to be run.
To improve the reception signal, it is possible to align the antenna by swivelling it. In order to do so:
1. Release the clamp screw ① using the Allen key provided.
2. Swivel the antenna in 30º increments until the reception is satisfactory.
3. Tighten the clamp screw. Make sure that the retaining plate sits tightly in the antenna
housing.
Tip
If it is impossible to get optimum reception, test the antenna at a different loca-
tion facing towards the transmitting antenna and repeat the steps described
above.
In the immediate vicinity of the transmitter, reception might be impaired by too
high a reception level.
Optimising the Reception with a DVB-T/T2 Receiver
Some receivers offer the option of displaying the reception level and the signal quality on the screen, thus permitting further optimisa-
tion of the antenna set-up. For more information, refer to the operating manual of your receiver.
