DVB-T INDOOR AERIAL
SZA 28 A1
Symbols used
This symbol alerts your attention to the caution
which follows, the caution itself providing you
with a warning about the following matters:
- Risk of personal injury,
- Risk of electric shock,
- Risk of fire,
- Risk of explosion,
- Equipment damage,
as well as drawing your attention to important
information, such as:
- Notes on network separation.
After this symbol you will be given tips on the
handling the device.
Intended use
This indoor antenna is intended exclusively for noncommercial utilisation in the reception of UHF/VHF
and DVB-T TV senders and for VHF radio reception
in indoor rooms.
Any utilisation other than as described here is not
permitted and could lead to damage and injuries.
No liability will be accepted for damages resulting
from false or improper usage, the application of
force or unauthorised modifications.
Important Instructions for
your Safety!
To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:
• This device is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical,
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences in experience and/or knowledge unless
they are supervised by a person responsible
for their safety or receive from this person
instruction in how the device is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not bend or squeeze the power cable.
• To disconnect, always pull the plug itself out of
the mains power socket, do not pull on the
power cable.
• Arrange for defective plugs and/or cables to
be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Before cleaning, or if there is a power supply
fault, remove the plug from the mains power
socket.
• Do not place objects containing liquids, e.g.
flower vases, on or near the device.
• NEVER submerge the device in water or other
liquids.
• NEVER open the housing of the appliance, it
contains no user-serviceable parts! If the housing is opened, there is a risk of receiving a
potentially fatal electric shock.

Separation from the mains power network:
The controller does not completely separate the antenna from the mains power network when it is switched off. In addition, the antenna consumes current
in the off-state. To completely separate the antenna
from the mains power supply, the plug must be disconnected from the mains power socket. Therefore,
the device should be positioned so that the mains
power socket is at all times easily accessible, also
ensuring that the appliance can be easily and
quickly disconnected in the event of an emergency.
To avoid the risk of fire, the device should always
be unplugged when it is not in use, and especially
so during holidays or extended absences.
To avoid damage to the device:
• Ensure that the voltage details given on the
type plate tally completely with those of the
local power supply.
• Do not place unprotected fire sources, such as
candles, on or adjacent to the appliance.
• Ensure an adequate safety distance to other
objects (approx. 10 cm).
• The appliance may only be used under normal
indoor conditions, i.e. protected against moisture,
dirt, extremes of heat and cold and temperature
fluctuations.
• Always pull the plug out of the power socket if
you are not using the room antenna for a longer
period of time.
• In the event of a heavy storm or a thunderstorm
with lightning, equipment connected to a mains
power supply could be damaged. Therefore,
always unplug the antenna from the mains
power supply during a thunderstorm.

Receiving programme signals via the
indoor antenna
The programme signals are received by the indoor
antenna and transmitted to the television set.
For the reception of DVB-T transmitter signals you
need a TV with an integrated DVB-T Tuner or an
additional DVB-T Receiver (DVB-T signals are not
available everywhere).
The indoor antenna has to be positioned correctly
for the proper reception of programme signals.
The following antennas are available for this:
1
two telescoping antennas for VHF and UKW
reception that tilt and rotate by 180° and
2
one oval-shaped antenna for UHF reception
that tilts and rotates by 100°.
To orient the indoor antenna:
µ Pull out both telescopic antenna
µ and adjust these until the best reception is
obtained.
µ Adjust the oval antenna

What to Do in the Event of
Reception Problems
Reception disruptions, such as an unclear or distorted picture could have the following causes:
• The indoor antenna is not correctly oriented.
Every station requires an individual orientation.
For this reason, reorient the indoor antenna
every time after changing the station.
• There are obstacles in the reception range
of the indoor antenna.
Attempt to remove the obstructions or place the
antenna at a different location.
• There is electromagnetic interference in the
immediate vicinity.
Try to eliminate the interference if, for example,
it is caused by other appliances (mobile telephone, micro-wave, etc.).
• Interference due to overmodulation.
Try to eliminate the interference by reducing
the amplifier gain by turning the regulator
anti-clockwise.
The reception characteristics of the indoor
antenna are only good if you are close
enough to the broad-casting station.

Cleaning and Care
Risk of electric shock
• Before cleaning, always pull the plug out
of the plug socket.
• Never submerge the indoor antenna into
water or other liquids during cleaning.
µ Clean the indoor antenna only with a dry,
lint-free cloth.
To avoid damaging the appliance, never use
solvents for cleaning.
