3. Power Supply

The Telestar Antenna 9 LTE requires power for its active amplification. You have two options:

• External Power Adapter: Connect the provided external power adapter to the antenna's power input port and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
• 5V Power from Receiver: If your DVB-T2 receiver or TV supports 5V antenna power output via the coaxial cable, you can enable this feature in your device's settings. In this case, the external power adapter is not needed. Consult your receiver's manual for instructions on enabling 5V antenna power.

4. Channel Scan

After connecting the antenna and ensuring it is powered, perform a channel scan on your DVB-T2 receiver or television. This process typically involves navigating to the "Settings" or "Setup" menu, selecting "Channel Search" or "Auto Scan," and initiating the scan. The device will then search for available digital TV and radio channels.

Operating Instructions

General Use

Once the setup is complete and channels are scanned, you can begin watching digital TV or listening to digital radio. Use your receiver's remote control to navigate through channels and access program guides.

Optimizing Reception

If you experience poor signal quality or missing channels, try the following:

• Reposition the Antenna: Slightly adjust the antenna's position and orientation. Even small changes can significantly impact signal reception.
• Rescan Channels: After repositioning, perform another channel scan on your receiver to detect any newly available or stronger signals.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no new obstructions (e.g., furniture, appliances) blocking the antenna's line of sight to the broadcast tower.

LTE Filter Functionality

The integrated LTE filter automatically works to suppress interference from 4G/5G mobile signals (LTE), GSM, and DECT cordless phones. This feature helps maintain clear and stable reception, especially in areas with high mobile network activity. No user intervention is required for the LTE filter to function.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the antenna, gently wipe its surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or solvents, as these can damage the antenna's finish or internal components.

Environmental Considerations

The Telestar Antenna 9 LTE is designed for indoor use. While it can be used for camping, ensure it is protected from direct exposure to rain, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Store the antenna in a dry, cool place when not in use.
