7 Getting Started Installation Example TV POWER INSERTER Introduction Your new Bauhn Indoor/Outdoor antenna can be easily mounted, vertically or horizontally, in your home or caravan. It is weather resistant, which means water splashing from any direction will have no harmful effect. The Bauhn Indoor/Outdoor antenna is ideal for most weak to medium signal areas. The antenna is capable of receiving the following signals: Local digital terrestrial signals, analog signals and FM radio signals Local and regional UHF and VHF signals Both horizontal and vertical signals The Bauhn Indoor/Outdoor antenna consists of the parts pictured opposite, which must be assembled according to the instructions on the following pages. The antenna can be mounted onto a mast (not included), which can be purchased from your local hardware store. Antenna Basics Variables unrelated to product performance can affect reception. These include obstacles and terrain between the transmitter and your antenna, radiated energy from electronic components and building materials such as stucco or aluminium panelling. To ensure proper reception, please consider these factors during installation. 7

8 Installation Step-by-step installation guide Unpack the antenna and accessories but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure your new antenna is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach. Using the illustration of all parts (page 6) as a guide, start assembling the antenna to mount it onto a mast (diameter of the mast should be 15-56mm) as follows: Fig Remove the rubber caps and wing nuts from the U-bar. 2. If you are mounting the antenna horizontally, place the U-bar against the Angle-M, as shown in Fig If you are mounting the antenna vertically, place the U-bar against the Angle-M, as shown in Fig. 2. Fig While holding the U-Bar and Angle-M together, fix Angle-M to the back of the antenna using the two screws (supplied), as shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 3 8

9 Installation (Cont.) 5. Put the U-Bar around the antenna mast (not supplied) (Fig. 4), then put Angle-B on the U-Bar (Fig. 5). Lock it in place with the wing nuts and put on the rubber caps (Fig. 6). Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Fig Take the coaxial cable, pull back the insulation cover that covers the Male F-type connector and connect it to the antenna (Fig. 7). Push the insulation cover into the antenna and secure it (Fig. 8). Fig. 8 Fig. 9 Fig Connect the other Male F-type connector to the ANT socket of the amplifier (Fig. 9). Then connect the AC or car adaptor to the power inserter and connect the adaptors to power (Fig. 10). The power inserter should always be located indoors. 9

10 Installation (Cont.) TV POWER INSERTER Fig Connect the PAL (Male) connector of the power inserter with the TV (Fig. 11). 9. Turn on the power to the power inserter. 10. Turn the TV on and tune it. If necessary, adjust the antenna to the proper height for the best reception and fix the wing nuts firmly. For best reception Adjust the antenna set-up according to the horizontal or vertical signals received. Place the antenna in different positions until you find the best reception results. This will vary according to the signal strength in your area. 10
