Lay the cable according to the local conditions so thatit cannot fl utter in the wind and chafe (use either cableclamps or cable ties or insulating tape)7. In order to avoid ingress of moisture in the mast orbrickwork, make a ‚water sack‘ with the cable (Fig. 4)Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Antenna alignmentAlign the antenna to optimum reception by turning it. If necessary, use an antenna signal meter. Choose any programme fromthe TV set or signal meter for the antenna alignment. After fi nishing the alignment, tighten the wing screws on the mast clamp. Indication of the reception of DVB-T signalsKathrein antennas are pre-assembled to receive horizontally polarised signals. However, DVB-T signals are also transmitted invertical polarisation.To receive DVB-T signals, turn the antenna in its longitudinal alignment to the transmitter rotated 90° counter-clockwise.Observe the direction of rotation, as otherwise moisture can ingress in the connection box through the cable passage.If the antenna was properly mounted, the cable outlet points slopingly down, and the Kathrein-writing is legible horizontallyaligned (Fig. 6).Safety instruction:For your own safety, it is recommended that you carry out the mounting steps specified in the follow-ing on solid ground and not on the rooftop.Safety instruction:ing on solid ground and not on the rooftop. Mounting stepsThe following steps must be carried out in order to be able to mount the antenna on the mast so that vertically polarised signalscan be received:1. Unfasten the mast clamp from the axle tube by loosening the clamping screw2. Pull off the mast clamp3. Turn the clamp 90° clockwise4. Slide the mast clamp on the previous position onto the axle tube5. Then tighten the clamping screws again935.539/B/0205/3.4e
