Safety Instructions
Philips MANT940
Indoor/Outdoor UHF/ VHF Television antenna
Antenna grounding and safety warning
1. Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a
building, should not cross over open conductors of electric light
or power circuits.They should be kept away from all circuits to
avoid the possibility of accidental contact.
2. Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be
connected with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna dicharge
units (or Lightning Arrestors) should be located outside the
quir
ed if
building or inside the building between the point of entrance of
the lead-in and the TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of
the conductors to the building.
Important Safety Notes
If you do not feel comfortable or competent to install this antenna
we recommend that you seek the assistance of a qualified
professional antenna installer.
Read the instructions for this device thoroughly before
attempting installation.

READ
BEFORE
INSTALLATION
The installation or dismantling of any antenna near power lines is
dangerous. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured while
attempting to install or service antennas.For your safety and proper
antenna installation, read and follow all safety precautions.
Choose an installation site for safety as well as performance.
All electric power lines, cable lines and telephone lines look alike.
To be safe, assume ANY overhead line can kill you.
Do not place an antenna where it could potentially fall on to,or blow
into a power line. If in doubt call your electric provider. Let them
review your site.
Outdoor antennas should be grounded with an approved
lighting ar
ground wire.
Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to

IMPORTANT
BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Safety Instructions
Take the time to plan your installation procedure. Do all assembly
work on the antenna on the ground. Raise the completed antenna
after assembly.
Do NOT work on a wet,snowy or windy day or if a thunderstorm
is approaching. Do NOT use a metal ladder.
If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get away from it and let it fall.
Remember that the antenna mast and cable are all excellent conductors of electrical current.
Do NOT install the antenna by yourself.Be sure that there are two
other people available for help.
READ
If any part of the antenna should come in contact with a power line
. . . DON'T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF. Call
your local power company immediately.They will remove it.
Should an electrical accident occur . . . DON'T TOUCH THE
PERSON IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE, or you too can
become electrocuted. Instead, use a DRY board, stick, or rope to
push or pull the victim away from the power lines and antenna.Once
clear, check the victim. If he has stopped breathing, immediately
administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and stay with him.
Have someone else call for medical help.
Install wire antennas high enough that they will not be "walked into"
by people.
Do not install antenna wire(s) over or under utility lines.
Important Information
Important installation information
The MANT940 uses a power injection module to power the
the antenna amplifier
It is essential for proper operation of this antenna system that
the amplifier be connected between the antenna and any devices
such as splitters, matching transformers, networks, etc.

Mounting Instructions
Determining signal strength
Before Installation determine the best location for optimum
reception. It is important for the antenna to have an unobstructed
path to the transmitter.To determine the transmitter(s) location you
can consult the website http://www.antennaweb.org. For best results
the antenna should be facing the transmitter location.
