Please read the safety instructions carefully before operating the receiver.
Electrical connection:
• Do not expose the receiver to rain as well as any kind of humidity to avoid
risk of fire and electric shock.
• Never open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
• Connect the receiver only to the power source installed by an expert.
It is either: for an external power pack:
a 100–240 V, 50-60 Hz mains socket as per specications or
- for a 12 V cable:
a 11 V / 15 V DC supply as per specifications.
• Ensure that the total power consumption by the antenna connection of the
receiver does not exceed “LNB IN” 300 mA.
• Pull the external power pack or the 12 V cable out of the mains socket if
you will not use the device for a longer period of time. Only pull at the
external power pack or at the head piece of the 12 V cable, not at the cable
itself.
• In case of a storm, pull the external power pack or the 12 V cable of the
receiver out of the mains socket.
• If foreign bodies or uids enter the receiver, pull the external power pack
or the 12 V cable out of the mains socket. Ask a qualified person to check
the equipment before operating it once again. Otherwise, there is a risk of
electric shock.
• Do not bend or crimp any cable.
• If a cable used for mains supply is damaged, the receiver must be repaired
by an expert before reusing it. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
• Never allow children to play with or operate the antenna unit unless
supervised.
• Always ask qualied personnel to carry out maintenance jobs. Otherwise,
you are putting yourself and others at risk.
• Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case of operational disruptions.
• Spare parts must be ordered directly from the manufacturer.
• Modications of the device lead to an extinction of the manufacturer’s liability.
• Remove the protection lms.

Suitable location:
Cautions!
Information on separation from power source. The Standby key of this device will not
separate the device completely from the power source. In addition, the device will draw
current. To separate the device completely from the power source, the mains plug must
be pulled out of the socket.
• Place the receiver on a stable and even base.
• Use the receiver only with adequate climatic conditions.
• Avoid proximity to:
heat sources, e.g. heaters, naked ames, e.g. candles,
devices with strong magnetic elds, like e.g. loudspeakers.
• Never place receptacles lled with liquid (vases) on the receiver
• Avoid direct sunlight and places with an extremely high amount of dust.
• Never cover ventilation slits. Provide for sufcient ventilation by
maintaining a safety distance of 5 cm to other objects.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the receiver.
• Humidity may settle in the receiver if it is brought into hot surroundings
from a cold one. In this case, wait for about an hour before operating the
equipment.
• Arrange all cables in such a manner that no-one steps or trips over them.
Correct battery handling:
• Batteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that batteries are not within
the reach of children. There is a danger children may swallow batteries.
• Batteries that are getting discharged may damage the remote control.
If the receiver is not in use for a longer period of time, remove the batteries
from the remote control.
• Batteries may contain toxic agents. Therefore, dispose of the batteries
immediately in an ecologically accepted manner according to the prevailing
statutory regulations. Never throw the batteries into normal household waste.
• Never expose the batteries to open re or strong heat, as otherwise there is a
danger of explosion.
• Replace the batteries always by batteries of the same type.

The receiver receives un-encrypted digital channels (free-to-air) in a covered area. It is
exclusively meant for this purpose and should only be used for the same. This also includes
paying attention to all information in this operating manual especially that of safety
instructions.
Any other usage is considered to be improper and may lead to material damages and even
personal injuries. Moreover, it will result in the immediate loss of warranty.
The manufacturer does not bear any liability for damages caused due to improper usage.
Appropriate usage
With this receiver you can receive un-encrypted (free-to-air) and encrypted digital satellite
channels via satellite antenna for private use.
It is not necessary to programme the receiver in the first instance. The most important
broadcasting stations and satellites have been pre-programmed.
The satellite antenna has to be directed towards the desired satellite. The receiver will scan
for further new channels as soon as you initiate the automatic scanning of broadcasting
stations for this satellite. Satellites not preset may be added.
All receiver settings can be adjusted easily using the user interface (menu) on the TV
monitor.

The receiver is connected with your satellite antenna with a coaxial cable.
If necessary, you have to prepare a coaxial cable before connecting the receiver.
CAUTION!
Connect the receiver to the mains supply only after you have connected it to all equipment
and the antenna properly. Otherwise, the receiver can suffer damages and there is a risk of
electric shock that can be a threat to life or physical condition.
DANGER!
Camping or trailer operating: The receiver can also be connected to 12 Volt (11-15 Volt,
e. g. solar collector, motor vehicle). To do this, use the 12 Volt cable.
CAUTION!
For using vehicles with 24 volt on-board voltage (eg, trucks), you have to use a 24V /12V DC
/ DC converter. If not, the receiver can suffer damages. Your warranty will be lost,
if ignored.
(See the installation diagram on the next page) For the installation of the F connectors on
the coaxial cable you need a knife (ideally a wire stripper) and side cutting pliers.
> Cut 8mm of the coaxial cable at each end up to the inner core.
> Carefully cut 10mm of the outer insulation so that the wire netting is exposed.
> Turn the wire netting backwards and wind it over the outer insulation in such a
manner that it does not touch the inner core.
> Remove the inner insulation up to 2mm from the wire netting.
> Rotate the F connector onto the turned-back wire netting till the connector
touches the inner insulation.

> Check the batteries of your remote control at least once a year.
> If one battery has leaked, wear protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with
a dry cloth.
CAUTION!
Batteries may contain toxic agents that are hazardous to health and environment. Therefore,
dispose of the batteries in any case according to the prevailing statutory regulations.

CAUTION!
Check that connections of all equipment and the antenna are proper before connecting the
receiver to the mains.
> Insert the mains plugs of the connected equipment in the mains socket and switch it on.
> Switch on the AV channel of the TV set. If the TV set recognizes the switching voltage
emitted by the receiver, it will switch automatically to the AV mode (with Scart).
> If you want to operate your receiver with 12V, insert the 12V cable into the “DC
12V IN” socket of the receiver and connect it to your power source.
CAUTION!
For using vehicles with 24 volt on-board voltage (eg, trucks), you have to use a 24V/12V
DC/DC converter. If not, the receiver can suffer damages. Your warranty will be lost,
if ignored.
The receiver is supplied with preset TV channels and can be used directly. If you want to
check if new channels are available, initiate a scan for broadcasting stations.
To get into standby mode, press the red key at top left of the remote control. The current
time will be displayed. The device consumes approx. 2W only. Currently, this is a very low
value of power consumption.
