2 Connect the other end of the built-in

coaxial cable to the input on the TV

receiver.

3 Get started

To ensure the antenna to work properly, read

the user manual of your television before you

start. Set the television so that it receives the

signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or

SATELLITE.

3 Connect the DC plug to the antenna and

Installation

the power supply to a 120V AC outlet.

Determine the signal strength

Before Installation, determine the best

location for optimum reception. It is important

for the antenna to have an unobstructed path

to the transmitter. For best results, ensure the

antenna faces the location of the transmitter.

4 Turn the power switch on.

» The blue LED is lit.

Note

• Choose a location near a window which gives the

antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Note

• Place the antenna away from the metal surface to

avoid interference.

Connect to theTV

1 Assemble the antenna base to the UHF

log periodic antenna.

4 Set up SDV7120

Note

• It is possible to switch the gain control level down for

best reception.

• To check the distance from the local TV broadcast

transmitters to your location, visit www.antennaweb.

org for more information.

For UHF reception

1 ^{Turn the TV to the desired channel/}

station.

2 To turn the ampliﬁer up, switch the gain

control towards the max level.

2 Extend the VHF rod antenna to the

longest possible length.

3 Turn the TV or FM radio to the desired

channel/station. Move the VHF rod

antenna in different directions up and

down until the reception is achieved.

3 Tilt or swivel the UHF log periodic

antenna towards the transmitter until the

reception is achieved.

Ensure the signal strength is good enough

before you install the channels with the

tuner.

5 Frequently

asked questions

Can this antenna work with Analogue

transmissions?

Yes, this antenna can receive analogue

television broadcasts in the UHF and VHF

bandwidths.

Can this antenna receive digital or work with

ATSC broadcasts?

Yes, this antenna is designed to receive ATSC

and HDTV broadcasts in the UHF & VHF

bandwidths.

Note

• It is possible to switch the gain control level down for

best reception.

Can the antenna be powered by a DC power

supply in a boat, RV or camper?

Yes, there is a DC power socket located at the

back of the antenna. Plug your cable/adapter

into the antenna and then into your power

source.

Note

• The UHF log periodic element only allows 90

degrees rotation.

Where should I place the antenna in order to

get the best reception possible?

Choose a location near a window which gives

the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Set up a digital tuner with this

antenna

Note

You can install available channels with the digital

TV tuner.This automatic process is part of the

setup of the tuner. Ensure the antenna has

set up properly before the tuner can receive

viewable channels.

• For best reception, place the antenna away from the

metal surface to avoid interference.

How do I know how much gain (ampliﬁcation)

is required to receive a clear picture?

Once you have the VHF dipoles extended to

the longest length, turn on the ampliﬁer. Turn

the ampliﬁer up to the max position and then

reduce as needed. In some case, you need to

turn the ampliﬁer down to receive a clearer

picture.

There are two ways to connect the antenna to

theTV:

•

Connect the antenna to a digital tuner.

If the signal strength is good enough, the

channels can be memorized in the tuner

automatically .

•

Connect the antenna directly to the TV.

Tune to the analogue channels and ﬁnd

the best antenna location. Then re-

connect the antenna to the digital tuner.

Can I set up this antenna with a digital tuner?

Yes, this antenna can be set up with a digital

tuner. (see ‘Set up a digital tuner with this

antenna’ on page 9)

and consequential damages are disclaimed

where permitted by law.This warranty gives

you speciﬁc legal rights.You may also have other

rights that vary from state to state.

A device, either a single stage or a large scale

circuit with multiple stages for creating gain,

i.e. it makes small signals larger.

Antenna

A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up

a received radio frequency signal or radiates a

transmitted RF signal.

ATSC (Advanced Television Systems

Committee)

The Advanced Television Systems Committee,

Inc., is an international, non-proﬁt organization

developing voluntary standards for digital

television. The high deﬁnition television

standards deﬁned by the ATSC produce wide

screen 16:9 images up to 1920x1080 pixels

in size -- more than six times the display

resolution of the earlier standard. However,

many different image sizes are also supported,

so that up to six standard-deﬁnition “virtual

channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz

TV channel.

Coaxial

A single copper conductor, surrounded with

a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding

copper shield and ﬁnally, an insulating jacket.

An unbalanced transmission line with constant

impedance. In audio, this type is commonly

used for low level, line signals terminated in

RCA connectors.

UHF (Ultra high frequency)

Female connector

In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency

range of electromagnetic waves which lies

between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).

A female connector is a connector attached

to a wire, cable, or piece of hardware, having

one or more recessed holes with electrical

terminals inside, and constructed in such a

way that a plug with exposed conductors

(male connector ) can be inserted snugly into

it to ensure a reliable physical and electrical

connection.

VHF (Very high frequency)

In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency

range of electromagnetic waves which lies

between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.

FM (Frequency Modulation)

In radio broadcasting: a method of modulation

in which the frequency of the carrier voltage

is varied with the frequency of the modulation

voltage.

HDTV (High-Deﬁnition Television)

It is a digital television broadcasting system

with higher resolution than traditional

television systems (standard-deﬁnition TV,

or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast;

the earliest implementations used analog

broadcasting, but today digital television

(DTV) signals are used, requiring less

bandwidth due to digital video compression.

Male connector

A male connector is a connector attached

to a wire, cable, or piece of hardware, having

one or more exposed, unshielded electrical

terminals, and constructed in such a way that

it can be inserted snugly into a receptacle

(female connector) to ensure a reliable

physical and electrical connection .
