DANGER: should any problems be encountered with the power unit, immediately disconnect it from the electric socket.
To avoid electric shocks, do not tamper with the device or try to repair it.
Do not use the product where there is liquid or water, avoid splashes of water or rain, do not pour water on or inside it, do not use with wet hands or in a humid environment, and/or where there is condensation.
The product must not be exposed to sources of excessive heat, such as solar radiation, fire, or similar.
Before making the connections, disconnect the equipment from the electricity grid.
Connect the power unit to an easily accessible electric socket in order to allow the separation of the device from the electricity grid.
This product is not a toy. It may contain small or detachable parts. Make sure that children and pets do not play with the product or the packaging (bags): danger of choking if swallowed.

Product description

The Meliconi AT 49 R1 amplified indoor aerial is able to receive and amplify the signals of DVB-T, DVB-T2 digital terrestrial TV, 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 GSM, 4G, and 5G signals.

Installation

(for the connections, please refer to the diagram)

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 favorable 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.

Alternative connections:

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.

Improving reception

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.

The symbol of the crossed-out rubbish bin displayed on the device indicates that, at the end of its useful life, the product must be collected separately from other waste. The user must, therefore, must take the device, at the end of its useful life, to suitable differentiated electrical and electronic waste collection centers, or return it to the retailer when buying a new device or an equivalent type. The appropriate differentiated collection will ensure that discarded equipment can subsequently be recycled, treated, and disposed of in an environmentally-compatible way. This will help prevent any possible negative effects on the environment and health and will facilitate the recycling of the materials with which the device was made.
