DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
The Meliconi AT49 R1 USB amplified indoors antenna receives and amplifies
DVB-T and DVB-T2 digital terrestrial TV signals and DAB+ radio signals on the
VHF-III and UHF bands. It also has a low-noise amplifier and special filters
to eliminate interference from FM, GSM, 4G and 5G signals.
CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE:
– Antenna
– Power cable (jack – USB) 1.5m
– Instruction booklet
INSTALLATION
(refer to the Figure for hook-up instructions)
- Gently raise the hinged section of the antenna to the vertical position as shown in the image on the packaging.
- Place the antenna in a position with good reception, for example near a window or in the direction of the television station, away from metal objects, electrical appliances and reinforced concrete walls which can attenuate the signal and limit its operation.
- Connect the Meliconi antenna cable [A] to the antenna input socket on the TV (or digital terrestrial decoder).
- Connect the end [C] of the power cable to the antenna socket [B]; insert the other end of the power cable [D] into a free USB socket on the TV (or decoder). In this way the TV (or decoder) will automatically supply power to the antenna only when it is switched on.
- Turn on the device (TV / DECODER) and select the desired channel. Check that the BLUE LED on the front of the antenna turns on. When the TV (or decoder) is turned off, the antenna (and LED) should turn off.
Alternative connections:
If your TV / decoder does not have a free USB socket, you can power the
antenna in the following ways:
B1 POWER SUPPLY FROM DECODER
-
If the antenna is connected to a suitably equipped digital terrestrial decoder, the decoder can power the antenna via the antenna cable [A] (refer to the decoder’s user manual to enable the 5 Volt/Antenna connection). Check that the blue LED on the front of the antenna turns on when decoder is on. In this configuration, when the decoder is turned off, the antenna (and LED) will automatically turn off.
B2 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY -
Use a standard 5 VDC/1 A USB power supply (not included) that complies with current safety regulations.
Meliconi S.p.A. denies any and all liability resulting from use of external power supplies.
IMPROVING RECEPTION
If the image quality is unsatisfactory or no signal is received, proceed as follows:
- Check that the antenna is on: blue LED on.
- Gradually turn the antenna until you get the best reception.
- Adjust the gain with the amplification adjustment wheel [MAX-MIN / OFF]; the maximum gain setting does not always give the best image quality. Try reducing it a little.
- Look at the antennas on the roofs of neighbouring buildings and turn your antenna in the same direction as them..
- If possible, tune the channels of the TV / DECODER by temporarily connecting it to a different working source of reception (e.g. the building’s antenna).
Note that an internal antenna is in any case an “alternative” solution for TV
reception; due to the variable signal strength inside buildings, the quality
of the results you get will depend on the conditions in the room. The best
results are obtained when the antenna is positioned close to a window, in the
direction of the transmitter, without obstacles or buildings in the way.
