Safety instructions
F irst, read the complete operating instructions carefully, as they contain
important information about the proper operation.
D amage due to not following these operating instructions will void the
warranty! We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
W e do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused
by improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such
cases, the warranty will be null and void!
• For safety reasons, any unauthorised conversion and/or modification to
the product is not permitted.
• The power supply unit has been constructed according to Protection
Class II and may be operated only on a public power supply outlet.
• Never touch the power supply unit with wet or damp hands. There is dan-
ger of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never replace a damaged connection cable of the power adapter. If the
connecting cable is damaged, the power adapter is waste and must be
disposed of. Repairs are not acceptable.
• To disconnect the device completely from the mains, the mains plug has to
be removed from the mains socket.
• The manufacturer's safety instructions for devices to be connected must
also be observed. You should, therefore, also carefully read other relevant
operating instructions.
• Do not use the product if it is damaged.
• This product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.
Children cannot see the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical
devices.
• The device may not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibra-
tions, high humidity (e.g. droplets or splashes of water) or substantial
mechanical stress.
• Never pour liquids on electrical devices. Do not place any containers with
liquids, such as buckets, vases or plants, in the immediate proximity of
the product. Liquids could get inside the housing and thus impair electri-
cal safety. There is danger of fire or a life-threatening electric shock! If
liquid is spilled into the unit, switch off the respective mains socket (e.g.
residual current circuit breaker) and unplug the power adapter from the
socket. The product may not be operated any longer. Take it to a specialist
workshop.
• Do not place open flames, such as burning candles, on or near the device.
• Use the device only in temperate climate regions and not in tropical ones.
• Do not leave packaging materials unattended. It may become a dangerous
plaything for children.
• Consult an expert, if you are still in doubt how the product functions, or
regarding safety or connection issues.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating in-
structions, please contact our technical support centre or consult a pro-
fessional.
Location
D o not drill any additional holes or screw any additional screws into the
housing when mounting the DVB-T antenna, as doing so could damage it.
W hen setting up the antenna, make sure that it has a secure footing and is
on a stable surface, as people could be injured if the device is dropped.
Avoid placing the DVB-T antenna near devices that can transmit interfer-
ence (e.g., microwave ovens, cordless phones, powerful engines, etc.).
You should also not install the device close to large metal surfaces, because
these may significantly weaken the received signal.
Place the antenna at the highest possible location, since experience shows
that this is where the reception is best. Installing it close to a window may
also improve reception.
• Place the antenna on a flat surface.
• Pull out both telescope poles of the antenna to their full length.
Connection and start-up
T he antenna cable of the antenna may be connected only to the antenna
inputs of the corresponding receivers.
U se only the power adapter enclosed in the package or the 5 V phantom
power of your receiver (if available) to supply the power.
C onnect the power adapter only to a normal mains socket connected to the
public supply.
B e careful when handling the mains cables and mains connectors. Mains
voltage may cause fatal electric shocks.
M ake sure that the voltage indicated on the power adapter corresponds
with the mains voltage of your power supply. Never try to operate the pow-
er supply on a different voltage.
W hen making the connections, make sure that the connecting cables can-
not be pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
T he mains socket to which the power adapter is connected must be near
the device and easily accessible, so that the device can be quickly isolated
from the mains power supply in the event of any fault.
