vAutotracking and Autosearch
These innovative automatic functions enable the receiver
to still be in tune with the selected channel while on the
move.
Typical DTT Networks are Multi Frequency Network (MFN);
each TV channel may be transmitted at different
frequencies depending on the specific geographical area.
Once a specific TV channel has been selected, the
Autotracking and Autosearch functions will tune, track and
in some cases automatically search for a channel where
there is a frequency change or signal loss without the need
of manually starting a new search.
To have the Autotracking and Autosearch functions
performing in the best possible way, it is recommended to
carefully follow the instructions below:
tune into the available channels
in that specific area
If the Autosearch function does not permit tuning into all
favourite channels, start the operations described at the
point 1 and 2 again but in another location.

Use only amplified with adequate
gain directly powered by the antenna
connector and suitable to the reception of the Digital
Terrestrial signal
Quantum Antennas, linked together with
Q10 receiver, have been manufactured in order to
optimize the system's functioning.
WARNING: ONLY use Quantum antenna
provided. Use of different antenna or external
power may result in product damage and
might affect the warranty terms.
Be sure to position the antennas as far away and
opposing from each other as possible. For exam-
ple, place the first antenna on the right side of the
wind screen of the vehicle and the second one
on the left side of the rear window or on the left
rear vent wing .
Antennas must be installed as far away from the
metal parts (vehicle's roof or vertical borders of
the wind screen/rear vent wing) as possible.
bonnet or the boot (de-
pending on the vehicle) can influence the signal
reception. It's recommend to experiment
where to place the antennas whether on the
higher or the lower part of the window. The higher
part usually guarantees more protection from
noises caused by motorcycles and scooters.
Handle with care the coaxial cable setting in order
to avoid damages due to vibration or crushing.
Be sure that the connections have been correctly
set and check the screwing of the connectors. Sig-
nal reception's problems are often caused by
incorrect assembly.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS
WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS
The installation and wiring of this unit
require special technical skills and expe-
riences. To ensure safety always have
the installation done by experts
Route the electrical and audio/video
cables and wiring away from moving
parts or sharp/pointed edges. This will
prevent crimping and damage to the
wiring. If wiring passes through a metal
hole, use a rubber grommet to prevent
the wires’ insulation from being cut by
the metal edge of the hole
Avoid installing the unit in locations with
high incidence of moisture or dust.
Moisture or dust that penetrates into
this unit may result in product failure
Failure to make the proper connections
may result in product damage
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS
ARRANGE THE WIRING CORRECTLY
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 / 24
Vcc NEGATIVE GROUND
BEFORE WIRING DISCONNECT THE
CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE (-)
BATTERY TERMINALS
DO NOT CUT INTO ELECTRICAL
CABLES
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE
BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEM TO
MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS
WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE
OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT
Be sure to use only the specified acces-
sory parts. Use of other than designed
accessory parts may damage this unit or
cause an incorrect functioning of the
appliance
Failure to do so may result in fire, electric
shock or other injuries
Failure to do so may result in electric
shock or injuries due to electrical shock
Never cut away cable insulation to supply
power to other equipment. Doing so will
exceed the current carrying capacity of
the wire and result in fire or electric shock
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steer-
ing systems (or any other safety-related
system), or tanks should NEVER be used
for installations or ground connections
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or
hamper movement etc., and result in seri-
ous accident
