Nippon Antenna UDF85B User manual

OPERATING CAUTIONS
You may not get the best performance or get the interferences if the antenna is located behind of buildings or spots where signal is weak.
In case of indoor antenna setting, please try to select spot where you get better signal due to unstable signal transmission.
If signal is too strong, you may not get the best
performance. In such case, shift the antenna direction
to either way from the transmission tower,
and get weaker signal level.
TransmissionTower TransmissionTower

poor receiving performance due to too strong signal try to shift receiving direction from the transmitter
“Antenna Level” shown at digital TV is just a standard figure which is used for the confirmation of antenna direction. Above antenna level does not show the strength of signal,
therefore, the level may not be enlarged by this product.
Antenna with built-in booster is required for electricity supply. Please use the power insert unit and AC adaptor which are included in the package. (only for UDF85B)

ANTENNA FEATURES
Easy to set antenna at various places with mounting bracket adjustable for any direction.
[only for UDF85B] Built-in booster is workable for long distance wiring from antenna.
It gives good reception performance of signal even for reflection wave from the wall
due to superior characteristics on front-rear proportion.
DH mark is the symbol mark registered and certified by
Electronics Information Technology Industrial Association,
to be given to satellite antenna, UHF antenna, signal
receiving equipment with invariable performance.
