respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

13.

Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such
power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional
antenna installer.

INTRODUCTION

Remote control

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Load two AAA (UM-4 or R03) batteries into the
battery compartment.

Make sure that the batteries have been inserted
in the correct polarities matching to the symbols
+, - marked in the battery compartment. Close
the battery compartment cover.

When replacing batteries, replace both batteries.
Do not mix new and used batteries operating
together, otherwise, the operation lifetime will
be much shorter than normal.

Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used
for a prolonged period of time.

The remote control transmits a directional
infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote
control directly at the infrared sensor of the
unit during operation.

If the sensor has been covered or there is a
large object between the remote control and
the sensor, the sensor will not respond.

The sensor may not able to receive the
remote signal when it is exposed to direct
sunlight or a strong artificial light (fluorescent
or strobe light). In this case, change the
direction of the light or reposition the unit to
avoid direct lighting.

SYSTEM CONNECTION

General

There are many different types of equipment that you can connect to the STB.
In this manual you will see some of the most common ways to connect your equipment.

Connecting to the TV aerial

You can connect the STB to the following type of aerials:

1

Standard outdoor aerial

Please note the following:
In some block of flats, the roof-mounted aerial system includes a filter and channel selector. If so,
the aerial may not work with the STB. Please consult the landlord.
Many older roof-mounted aerials may only receive a limited number of channels. As a result, digital
channels transmitted on higher frequencies are difficult or even impossible to receive. The
problem can be solved by replacing the roof aerial.
Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an analogue transmitter.
The aerial must be directed towards a digital TV transmitter.
It is not always advisable to position the aerial as high as possible. If problems arise, experiment with
different aerial heights.

2

Indoor and window mounted aerials

It is not advisable to use indoor or window mounted aerials, as digital channels will be difficult or
even impossible to receive.
