Improving Reception - MELICONI AT49 Instrucciones De Uso

B
• Gently raise the adjustable part of the aerial to a vertical position, as shown in the image on the
product package.
• Position the aerial in a favourable location for signal reception, for example, close to a window and
or in the direction of the television station, far from metal objects, electrical equipment and
reinforced concrete walls that could attenuate the signal, limiting its operation.
• Connect the Meliconi aerial cable to the antenna input socket located on the television set (or on
the digital terrestrial decoder).
• Insert the power unit's cable connector in the socket at the rear of the base.
• turn the ON/Amplification dial [MAX_MIN/OFF], located on the edge of the base, adjusting it to the
maximum amplification.
• Check that the front of the base is lit (blue light), indicating the correct power supply to the aerial.
• Turn on the device (TV / DECODER) and select the desired channel.
Power supply from decoder
• If the aerial is connected to a compatible digital terrestrial Decoder, it is possible to draw power
for the aerial from the decoder, using only the aerial cable, without using the power unit (refer to
the decoder's User Manual to enable the 5 Volt/Antenna output) Check that the blue light turns on
when the Decoder is turned on. In this case, when turning off the Decoder, the aerial (and the LED)
automatically turn off.
C
If the quality of the image is unsatisfactory or no signal is received, try the following:
• Check that the aerial is turned on: Blue light on
• Gently move the aerial in different directions until optimal reception has been obtained.
• Adjust the gain by adjusting the amplification control, the [MAX-MIN/OFF] dial; the
maximum gain value does not always correspond to better quality of the image. Try
reducing it a little.
• Look at the aerials on the roofs of nearby buildings and try to point the aerial in the
same direction.
• If possible, it is recommended to carry out the tuning of the channels on the device
(TV / DECODER) by connecting it temporarily to a different, valid signal source (for
example, a condominium aerial).
"alternative" solution for the reception of television channels; nevertheless, due to the intensity of
the signals that reach the aerial inside the room, it is possible to obtain more or less satisfactory
results depending on the conditions of use. The best results are obtained when the aerial is
positioned close to the window, in the direction of the broadcasting station, without obstacles
or buildings in between.
