Connecting the rod antenna with magnetic base
Connect the plug of the provided rod antenna with magnetic base to the antenna input of the
TV card.
Antenna location. Avoid positioning the antenna close to electrical consumers that emit elec-
tromagnetic radiation. This includes, in particular, computers, televisions, microwave ovens
and the like. Avoid positioning the antenna close to steel or rebar. Position the antenna close
to a window. Position the antenna as high as possible.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to receive digital TV signals with the small rod an-
tenna. Especially in outlying areas, it will sometimes be better to use the roof antenna or an
active outside antenna. No analog reception is possible with the rod antenna.

ured.
