High Gain Indoor TV Antenna AP537
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT!
Please read these instructions carefully. Keep these
instructions in a safe place for future reference.
SETTING UP YOUR ANTENNA
1. Plug coax cable into antenna input on television.
2. Place supply plug into mains wall socket and switch
on. Note: 12V d.c. input is provided but is not required
if supply plug is used.
3. For UHF signals tilt the paddle antenna to obtain best
reception (Fig.01).
4. Fully extend telescopic VHF antenna. Then adjust
antenna angle and rotate the whole antenna to obtain
the best VHF/FM signal.
5. To use amplifier mode start with gain control knob in
off position and increase gain slowly until you obtain
best reception. Note: Digital TVs now have a max and
min level for input signals, therefore too much signal
can cause as many problems as insufficient signal.
i.e. Pixelation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
The product is designed for indoor use only. The mains
wall socket must remain readily accessible. The product
is not disconnected from mains unless supply plug is
removed.
CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA
1.
The EXT. ANT. F connector on the back of the
antenna allows an alternative video source, such as an
outdoor antenna, cable TV, a video game, or
satellite dish to be connected to your TV via the
antenna. This saves you having to keep connecting and
disconecting the coaxial cable running to your TV and
also saves wear and tear on the TV coaxial socket.
2. To select the signal from your indoor antenna switch
on the gain control. The green power LED on the
front of the antenna will light up, while this LED is lit
the signal sent to your TV will be from the your indoor
antenna.
3. To switch to an alternative video source connected via
the
EXT. ANT. F connector coaxial socket simply switch
off the gain control (power LED is not lit).
