APEX DIGITAL SM620

Amplied Indoor Antenna with Smart Connector

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SM620 amplied indoor antenna. It has been designed to provide many years
of viewing enjoyment by optimizing its use with a number of installation options. Use it to connect directly to
your TV or standard DTV converter box. When used with a converter box that features the SMART connector
(EIA/CEA-909), the SM620 will maximize signal strength and automatically self-adjust for optimum reception
anywhere you position it. This connection will also provide AC power to the antenna without the need to plug

into a wall outlet.

Its stylish and space saving design compliments most entertainment systems. Lay it at, hang on the wall or
stand it up vertically in its cradle. Either way, the SM620 recognizes and amplies digital broadcast signals while
reducing interference and noise providing you with a beautifully clear digital picture.

WHAT IS A SMART ANTENNA?

Smart antennas combine multiple antenna elements with signal processing to optimize its reception pattern. The

array of multiple antenna elements along with the received digital broadcast signals are weighted and combined
to maximize the desired signal and reduce interference/noise. A smart antenna is therefore an adaptive array
that adjusts to the environment.

Installation

Find an unobstructed area near your television for best placement of your new amplied antenna. For
convenience, you may lay it at, stand up vertically in its cradle or hang on a wall. Before you hang the
antenna, perform the auto channel scan process on your TV or DTV converter box holding up the antenna
near the intended area. Verify that reception is satisfactory before proceeding. To hang, use the supplied
plastic anchors and screws. Mark two holes on the wall vertically 6” apart. Drill holes using a 1/8” drill bit. Insert
plastic anchors into the holes until ush with wall. Screw into anchors leaving a ¼” gap between the screw
head and the wall. Place antenna over screws and slide downward to secure.
