Throughout this manual you will notice that everyday operation of your TFT-721 is based on a series of user friendly on-screen displays and menus. These menus will help you get the most from your TFT-721, guiding you through installation, channel selection, viewing and many other functions. Using the buttons on the remote control can perform all functions, and using the buttons on the front panel can also perform some of the functions. Please be aware that new software may change the functionality of the TFT-721. Should you experience any difficulties with the operation of your TFT-721, please consult the relevant section of this manual, including the Troubleshooting, or alternatively call your dealer or customer service adviser. IMPORTANT! Read this before using the TFT-721! Do not cover the TFT-721's ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains etc. Do not place the TFT-721 on top of a unit that emits heat. Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the TFT-721. Use a soft cloth and a mild solution of washing-up liquid to clean the casing. Do not expose the TFT-721 to dropping or splashing liquids. Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, by the TFT-721. To give your TFT-721 an extra protection, e.g. at a thunderstorm, we recommend that connect it via an external surge protection device. Do not remove the cover. Do not allow the unit to be exposed to hot, cold or humid conditions. 3. Plug the cable attached to the AC adapter into the DC in port on the TFT-721. Preparing the Remote Control Before using the remote controller, you need to insert the supplied battery in order to enable communication between the TFT-721 and remote controller. To insert battery: Turn the remote controller over. Press in the tab and lift the battery cover up. Insert the supplied battery into the remote controller. Align the battery cover to the remote controller. Press down until the cover clicks into place. ! If the remote controller does not operate properly, you may need to replace the battery.

Depending on whether the receiver is located in a valley, behind a mountain or in a concrete building, the quality of reception may vary considerably. As with most other transmissions, bad weather affects reception quality. We recommend use the accessorial long antenna instead of short antenna when the signal isn't good, but not allow using other model antennas. 2.3 About the portable receiving antenna and accessorial antenna Use the antenna for UHF channels 21-69 for DVB-T, such as a directional antenna. If possible, place the antenna by the window and directed towards the TV transmitter. The strength of TV signal varies according to reflections from buildings or mountains. The signal penetrates thick stone or concrete walls poorly. However, a wooden building is not a big barrier to digital TV signals. 2.
