Radio Shack 15-1625 Bedienungsanleitung

Your Radio Shack 14-Inch 82-Channel Omnidirectional

TV Antenna provides excellent reception of VHF/UHF TV

channels in most viewing locations. The antenna’s com-

pact modern styling blends well with the decor of most

any home. The UV-protected housing is made of impact-

resistant filled copolymer, making the exterior resistant to

weathering and color change. The antenna’s unique om-

nidirectional characteristics provide excellent reception in

areas where broadcasts are received from different direc-

tions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers

are injured or killed each year by electric shock. While

anyone can see the obvious danger of falling, the most

resourceful sometimes fail to recognize overhead wires

as being potentially lethal. To touch any part of the anten-

na mast or guy wire to these overhead wires is the same

as touching the wires with your bare hand. A very serious

shock is almost sure to result when contacting an electri-

cal wire, and in the case of primary wires on the top of

poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt of lighten-

ing. Many power wires are within 20 to 25 feet of the

ground and could easily be touched by an assembled an-

tenna and mast.

Please read and follow these important safety precau-

tions:

• Be sure to select an antenna site well away from all

overhead wires.

• Do not try to guess which overhead wires carry high

voltage. Check with the power company.

• If you notice anything making contact with the over-

head wires, call the power company to have it

removed safely.

• Do not run the downlead cable over power wires.

WARNING! USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN

INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA

CLOSE TO OVERHEAD WIRES. IF THE

ANTENNA STARTS TO FALL, LET IT GO! IF

ANY PART OF THE ANTENNA MAKES CON-

TACT WITH OVERHEAD POWER LINES,

TOUCHING THE ANTENNA, MAST, CABLE,

OR GUY WIRES CAN CAUSE ELECTROCU-

TION AND DEATH. CALL THE POWER COM-

PANY TO REMOVE THE ANTENNA. DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF!

• Get help from a qualified professional when removing

the old antenna if there is any doubt of clearing over-

head wires.

• Never install an antenna by yourself. Be sure to have

at least two people available for help, if needed.

• Never install the antenna when it is windy.

• Be sure to do all assembly work on the ground, then

raise the antenna.

• Make sure the antenna mast downlead cable is con-

nected to suitable lightning arrestors.

• Use 8 (or larger) AWG ground wire between the mast

and ground.

• Make sure the installation is secure. Use plenty of

guy wires and new hardware.

IMPORTANT ANTENNA NOTES

This antenna system is designed to work properly when

the power injector is connected to the antenna through

only 75-ohm coax cable.

The power injector has an indicator light to indicate that:

• DC power is supplied to the antenna

• There are no shorts in the connection between the

power injector and antenna

The coax cable between the power injector and the an-

tenna is used for:

• Carrying DC power from the power injector to the

amplifier board in the antenna

• Carrying the amplified TV signal from the antenna,

through the power injector, to the video equipment

If any devices are used in your home cabling system

(such as amplifiers, splitters, combiners, matching trans-

formers, or 300-ohm cable), they must be connected only

between the power injector and your video equipment.

Any devices connected between the power injector and

the antenna might cause a short in the amplifier power

source. If this happens, the injector’s indicator does not

light and the signals to your video equipment (multiple

TVs or VCRs) might be significantly degraded.

Pre-Installation Test

To make sure your antenna system works properly, per-

form this test before installing it.

1. Connect a temporary 75-ohm cable between the

power injector’s ANT 75-ohm jack and the antenna’s

F-connector.

Note: If installing new lead-in cable, use the actual

cable to be used in the installation.

2. Connect the power injector’s TV cable to your TV’s

VHF/UHF 75-ohm F-connector.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s small plug into the

DC 12V jack on the power injector.

Note: If installing the antenna in a motor home, we

recommend you use a DC cord (such as Cat. No.

273-1533, not supplied).

4. Plug the supplied AC adapter into a standard AC out-

let. If the power injector’s indicator lights, the antenna

is properly connected.

MOUNTING THE ANTENNA

For the best results, mount the antenna away from trees

or other obstructions. Higher frequencies are noticeably

affected by these obstructions.

The antenna is easy to install on any antenna mast or op-

tional light-duty mount using simple hand tools. The an-

tenna package includes these parts:

You need the following additional items (not supplied),

available at your local Radio Shack store.

• Coax Downlead, such as RG-6 (Cat. No. 278-1316)

• Coax Sealant Tape or Weather Boots

Outside Mounting

1. Attach the antenna mounting bracket to the bottom of

the antenna using the four #12 X 1/2-inch long self-

tapping screws and four #12 split lockwashers.

2. Attach both mast clamps, U-bolts, four 1/4-inch split

lockwashers, and four 1/4-20 hex nuts to the mount-

ing bracket.

Note: Do not tighten the hex nuts.

3. Plug one end of the 75-ohm coaxial downlead cable

to the antenna’s jack and seal the connection with

coax sealant tape or a weather boot.

Note: If your existing downlead is 300-ohm cable,

you must replace it with 75-ohm coaxial cable. (300-

ohm cable requires a matching transformer that sig-

nificantly interferes with the antenna’s operation.)

4. Mount the antenna on the mast, and secure it by

tightening the hex nuts evenly onto the U-bolts.

Lightning Protection (when mounting the antenna

outside):

• Ground wires for both the mast and downlead should

be copper or aluminum wire, 8 AWG or larger.

• Mount a grounding block, such as Radio Shack Cat.

No. 15-909, as close as possible to where the down-

lead enters the house.

• Downlead wire from the antenna to the grounding

block and the mast ground wire should be secured to

the house with stand-off insulators, spaced 4–6 feet

apart.

• For a “ground up” antenna installation, you might not

need to ground the mast if the mast extends 4 or

more feet into the earth.

Inside Mounting

You can mount the antenna in an attic, closet or other

out-of-the way indoor location. The antenna can be

mounted on a horizontal mast, closet rod, or on a short

piece of mast suspended from a roof support by a 4-inch

wall-mount bracket (such as Cat. No. 15-883, not sup-

plied).

Or, you can simply place the antenna on a shelf in a clos-

et. Be sure the antenna is not in a position where it could

easily fall or be damaged.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA TO

YOUR TV

1. Connect the coax downlead from the antenna to the

ANT jack on the power injector.

2. If your TV has an F-connector, connect the short

piece of coax cable from the power injector to your

TV’s VHF/UHF 75-ohm F-connector.

If your TV has screw terminals for VHF/UHF connec-

tion, connect a 75-to-300 ohm transformer (such as

Cat. No. 15-1140, not supplied) between the power

injector and the VHF/UHF terminals.

If your TV has a 75-ohm VHF connection and a 300-

ohm UHF connection, connect a signal splitter (such

as Cat. No. 15-1231, not supplied) between the

power injector and the TV’s VHF/UHF connections.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s small plug into the

power injector’s DC 12V jack. Then plug the adapter

into a standard AC outlet. The LED on the power

injector lights to indicate that the antenna is properly

connected.

Coaxial Cable Installation Precautions:

• Do not bend coaxial cable (RG-59/U, RG-6/U) into

less than a 3-inch radius. Tighter bends can cause

shorts and change the cable’s impedance.

• Do not install coaxial cable where it will have a pulling

tension greater than 50 pounds maximum. Leave no

tension on the cable after installing it.

• Use only round-headed staples. Any clamps or

securing devices used with coax should grip the

cable evenly about the circumference without crush-

ing the cable. Flat staples can damage coax cable.

• Do not expose coaxial cable to a temperature greater

than 176°F (80°C). Keep the cable away from heat-

ing vents and water heaters.

• Do not install coaxial cable where it will be crushed,

stuffed, wedged, or pinched.

• The cable jacket withstands most outdoor environ-

ments. However, you must seal connections and

splices against water entry.
