4.0 CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Preparations
1. Check if the broadcast in your country is horizontally or vertically polarised.
2. Fix the antenna to the multi-directional base as shown in the pictures (the bracket is flexible
and can be bent to the shape shown in Fig. 2)
3. Depending on how the signals are broadcasted (horizontally or vertically) you will have to
mount your antenna in the horizontal or vertical position for best performance.
4. Your antenna needs 5 V power to work properly. Check in the menu or user manual of your
terrestrial receiver to see if it supports the needed 5 V power.

4.1 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 to see 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. Once you are sure that your receiver supports 5 V antenna power, switch off your receiver
and disconnect it from the 230 V main power.
4. Take the supplied "long" coaxial cable and connect the end with the "F connector" (screw type
connector) to the antenna. Carefully press the inner lead of the cable into the Female-F connector at
the back of the antenna. Turn the covering nut clockwise with your HANDS until it is fixed.
5. Connect the IEC Male end to your receiver. Normally the input connector on your receiver is
marked as "ANT" (in) or as "RF" (in). Refer to the user manual of your Digital Terrestrial Receiver.
6. Connect your receiver to the 230 V main power and switch ON your receiver and TV set.
7. Proceed to 5.0 "Antenna installation".
