ENGLISH
INSTALLATION OF THE ACTIVE DASC ANTENNA
Portable reception is possible only in those areas where a DVB-T signal
can be received.
Note:
obstacles, such as walls, trees and vehicles block
TV waves, so reception will be better in clear areas.
Only use the TFT-711
outside in dry weather conditions. Do NOT use outside near water or in
rain.
If you use the TFT-711 in a good indoor DVB-T reception area, then you can connect the
DASC antenna directly onto the antenna input. When the result of the reception is not
satisfactory, please install the antenna as described below.
When using the TFT-711 inside or when you
are in a reception area where the DVB-T
signals are not so strong or are in a room
with aluminum blinds or shielded/coated
windows, then use the 5 meter extension
coax cable and place the DASC antenna
close to the window or even outside the
window for better reception.
In several DVB-T area’s the DVB-T signals
are transmitted in a horizontal polarization.
Although the DASC antenna is omni
directional, in some cases you can receive
better signals when you place the antenna
horizontally.
NOTE:
Thanks to its battery compartment
and the DASC antenna, the TFT-
711 can be used as a television in
the garden, at the bus stop, on a
restaurant terrace or wherever you
want without a power supply or an
antenna cable.
The DASC antenna (Digital Active Signal Collector)
provides for interference free reception and a clear
picture. Connect the DASC antenna to the antenna
input ANT (IN) and switch the TFT-711 ON.
The DASC antenna is omni directional and is in all direction evenly sensitive. Yet, because
the TFT-711 itself forms a ground-plane, the DASC will be a bit more sensitive in weaker
reception areas and specific directions. This also is depending to the position of the TFT-
711 towards the DVB-T transmission tower. Turn the TFT-711 slowly to see if reception
improves.

reception tips.
