INDOOR ANTENNA KH2329 Intended use This indoor antenna is intended: • for receiving UHF/VHF and DVB-T TV stations and UKW radio stations • for use in dry areas protected from rain, • exclusively for private use and not for use in commercial or industrial areas. Important Instructions for your Safety! To avoid life-threatening electric shocks: • Ensure that the electrical specifications given on the model plate tally with the rating of the existing domestic electricity supply. • Do not bend or squeeze the power cord. • To disconnect, always pull out the plug at the power socket, do not pull at the power cord. • Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified tech- nicians or our Customer Service Department. • Before cleaning, or if there is a power supply fault, pull the plug out of the power socket. • Always pull the plug out of the power socket if you are not using the indoor antenna for a longer period of time. • Do not place any open sources of fire, like candles, on the device. • Do not place any water-filled vessels such as e.g. flower vases on the appliance. • Ensure an adequate safety distance to other objects (approx.10cm). • The appliance may only be used under normal indoor conditions, i.e. protected against moisture, dirt, extremes of heat and cold and temperature fluctuations. • Do not allow individuals (including children) to use the appliance whose physical, sensorial or mental abilities or lack of experience and knowledge hinder their safe usage of it if they have not previously been supervised or instructed in its correct usage. • Tell children about the appliance and its poten- tial dangers so that they do not play with it.

Connection as a radio aerial ➭ When you want to use the room antenna for radio reception, utilise the Adapter Coaxial socket/Coaxial socket 8. ➭ Connect the Adapter Coaxial socket/Coaxial socket 8 with the antenna cable. ➭ Connect the anntenna cable with Adapter Coaxial socket/Coaxial socket 8 to the 75 Ohm connector on your stereo system. Connection to a DVB-T receiver ➭ To connect the room antenna to a DVB-T- Receiver with an F-socket, the Adapter F-Plug/ Coaxial socket 7 must be used. ➭ Connect the Adapter F-Plug/Coaxial socket 7 with the antenna cable. ➭ Screw the antenna cable with the Adapter F-Plug/Coaxial socket 7 to the F-socket of the DVB-T-Receivers. Power source connection ➭ Insert the power plug of the indoor antenna into the power socket. Operating the Indoor Antenna 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 programme signals you need an additional DVB-T receiver (DVB-T signals cannot be received 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: ➭ Pull out both telescopic antenna 1 ➭ and adjust these until the best reception is obtained. ➭ Adjust the oval antenna 2 by turning or tilting until the best reception is obtained. Switching On and Regulating the Amplifier You can regulate the amplifier gain by turning the regulator 4 on the front of the appliance: ➭ Switch on the indoor antenna by turning the regulator 4 to the right. The operation indicator 3 glows green. ➭ Turn the regulator 4 in clockwise direction to increase the amplifier gain. ➭ Turn the regulator 4 in anti-clockwise direction to decrease the amplifier gain. ➭ Turn the regulator 4 completely to the left until it clicks to switch off the indoor antenna.

What to Do in the Event of Reception Problems Reception disruptions, such as an unclear or distor- ted 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 tele- phone, micro-wave, etc.). • Interference due to overmodulation. Try to eliminate the interference by reducing the amplifier gain by turning the regulator 4 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. ➭ Clean the indoor antenna only with a dry, lint-free cloth. To avoid damaging the appliance, never use solvents for cleaning. Disposal Do not dispose of the appliance in your normal domestic waste.
