installation site.  
1 Important  
Do not install your antenna on a wet or  
windy day.  
Safety  
If the assembly starts to drop, get away  
from it immediately. Remember: the  
antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires  
are all excellent conductors of electrical  
current. Even the slightest touch of any  
of these parts to a power line can cause  
electrocution and death.  
This manual contains important information  
about the Philips indoor/outdoor television  
antenna. Read it carefully before you start the  
installation and setup.  
If any part of the antenna system should  
come in contact with a power line, don’t  
touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call  
your local power company. They will  
remove it safely.  
For indoor use

lines, call for qualified emergency help  
immediately.  
To completely disconnect the power  
input, the main plug of the product shall  
be disconnected from the main AC  
outlet.  
Notice for USA

interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television reception,  
which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged  
to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
Select your installation site carefully.  
Remember: electric power lines and  
phone lines look alike. For your safety,  
assume that all overhead lines may cause  
fatal injury.  
Ensure that the installation site is  
structurally capable to support all loads  
(weight of the antenna, weight of ice,  
weight of snow and wind force).  
Relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between  
equipment and receiver.

Determine the signal strength  
3 Get started  
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.  
Installation  
Installation information  
Note  
This antenna uses a power inserter module to  
power the antenna amplifier.  
Indoor, choose a location near a window  
which gives the antenna a clear view of the  
transmitter.  
It is essential for proper operation of this  
antenna system that the power inserter  
be connected between the antenna and  
any devices such as splitters, matching  
transformers, networks, etc.  
Note  
Place the antenna away from metal surface to  
avoid interference.

Warning  
The power inserter and power supply are for  
indoor use only.  
Tip  
This antenna includes a 6m roll of 3C-2V  
coaxial cable. If this is not adequate for your  
needs, replace the cable with a RG-6 coaxial  
cable instead of adding an extension.  
Set up a digital tuner with this  
antenna  
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.  
Connect to theTV  
Note  
As previously noted, the amplifier (Power  
inserter + Power supply) must be placed in-  
line between the antenna and any splitter or  
additional devices.  
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 .  
1 Connect the coaxial cable from the  
antenna to the connector labeled ANT  
on the power inserter  
.
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.  
Ensure the signal strength is good enough  
before you install the channels with the  
tuner.  
2 Connect the power inserter to the  
antenna input on the TV, digital set-top  
box, splitter or other devices.  
3 Connect the power supply plug to  
the power inserter , and then plug the  
power supply adaptor into a 100-240V  
AC receptacle.

6 Glossary  
UHF (Ultra high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).  
A
Amplifier  
A device, either a single stage or a large scale  
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain,  
i.e. it makes small signals larger.  
V
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.  
Antenna  
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up  
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a  
transmitted RF signal.  
C
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.  
F
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.  
H
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.
