USER INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for choosing MELICONI.

The AD 40 FLAT indoor amplified antenna receives digital terrestrial TV and DAB
radio signals, as well as traditional analogue signals on the UHF and VHF (band
III) bands.

Fasten the plastic support included in the package to the body of the antenna using the
two screws provided (fi gure 1).
The antenna can be positioned horizontally or vertically on a fl at surface (fi gure 2) or
wall-mounted.
Proceed as follows to mount the antenna on a wall:
a. Hammer two nails with head diam. of approx. 6 into the wall, leaving a distance of 80

mm (3.1") between them.

b. Insert the heads of the two nails in the special plastic support holes at the back of the

antenna (fi gure 3).

Note: The antenna should be located at a safe distance from metal objects, electrical
equipment and reinforced concrete walls to ensure optimum functioning.

Positioning the antenna

The AD 40 FLAT is used to receive digital signals – using a digital terrestrial decoder or a
TV with built-in digital tuner - and traditional analogue signals – on traditional TV sets.

- Connect the Meliconi antenna cable to the socket at the back of the digital terrestrial

decoder or the television (fi gure 4). If the decoder's antenna outlet is the F-female
type, obtain an F-male IEC-female adaptor (not included).

- Use the AC/DC adapter included in the kit to power up the antenna. Insert the cable
in the antenna power supply input and connect the adapter to the mains power supply
(fi gure 5). Alternatively the decoder may be designed for the power supply to be
provided directly by the antenna cable (see the decoder user manual).

- Switch ON the digital terrestrial decoder and/or the television and select the channel
required. The antenna is now active.
