Set Bandwidth and Power on
First of all, please set the bandwidth first.
HV-110 can support 2/3/4 MHz or 5/6/7/8 MHz bandwidth DVB-T signal, but the mode should be
selected before power on the box. Bandwidth mode can not be changed after powered on. If you want to
change bandwidth support, please power off and power on the receiver box.
Apply DC 5V to either the power jack or the micro-USB connector. One and only one DC power source is
enough. Power jack and the micro-USB connector are connected together.
If you are using micro-USB connector, please note the arc is upward
