Resumen del manual
If any part of the antenna makes contact with overhead power lines, touching the antenna or the antenna cable can cause electrocution and death. If the antenna is in contact with any type of overhead wires, call your power company and ask them to send a qualified technician to remove the antenna. Do not attempt to remove it yourself! 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 antenna 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 electrical wire, and in the case of primary wires on the tip of poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt of lightning. Many power wires are within 20 to 25 feet of the ground and can easily be touched by an assembled antenna. Please read and follow these important safety precautions: • Get help from a qualified professional when removing the old antenna if there is any doubt of clearing overhead wires. • Never install the antenna outdoors at night or in inclement weather conditions. • Make sure the antenna downlead cable is connected to suitable lightning arrestors. • Make sure the antenna installation is secure. Lightning protection Always plug your TV and other electronic devices into a quality surge p ro te c tor for maximum pro tection against lightning and power surg e s . • 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 overhead wires, call the power company to have it removed safely. • Do not run the downlead cable over power lines. All outdoor antenna installations should be properly grounded. To effectively protect the installations, the coaxial cable(s) should be grounded before they enter the house. The grounding of the coaxial cable is made using a “ground block” and copper wire (not supplied). For information, and the materials needed to ground your antenna installation, visit your local electronics store. About your new TV44 outdoor TV antenna The TV44 features an internal amplifier that minimizes signal loss. The satellite receiver powers the amplifier, so no additional power supply is required. Because TERK’s antenna elements are manufactured to be weather-resistant, they’ll perform at their best for many years to come. For best reception results... For the best reception results, the satellite dish and antenna combination should be high off the ground with minimal signal obstructions. On the side of your house (close to the roof), or on the roof itself, generally offers the best environment for reception. Remember, you can always rotate the antenna on the dish to adjust your reception. Before you begin Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the various elements in the TV44 package. Please make sure that your package includes all of the necessary pieces (see Fig 1). If you believe your box is missing any pieces, please call TERK Technical Support at 1(800) 942-TERK (8325).

Make sure all satellite receivers are turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet. 2. Unsnap the antenna from the back notch of the mounting clamp. See Fig 2. Fig 2 3. Hold the antenna to the back of the dish so that the circular housing is centered with the TERK logo facing out. See Fig 3. Fig 3 4. Maneuver the clamps over or around the edge of the dish one at a time. See Fig 4. Fig 4 Fig 4 5. Snap the antenna back into the back notch of the mounting clamp. 6. Tighten the clamps by turning the thumb-wheel screw clockwise. Note: We recommend the use of the enclosed security clips for any dish 20” or larger. Snap the security clips onto the TV44 and slide down towards the mounting clips. See Fig 5. Fig 5 Connecting the TV44 Depending on the type of satellite dish you have, go to one of the following five scenarios to determine how to connect the TV44 antenna to your satellite dish. A-Single LNB (Phase1) Satellite Dish 1. Remove the LNB from the arm of the satellite dish to expose the satellite cables. See Fig 6. Fig 6. 2. Disconnect the satellite cable(s) from the satellite dish’s LNB and pull them out through the bottom of the satellite dish arm. See Fig 6. 3. Connect the satellite cables to the...
