Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a building, should not cross over open conductors of electric light or power circuits.They should be kept away from all circuits to avoid the possibility of accidental contact. 2. Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna dicharge units (or Lightning Arrestors) should be located outside the building or inside the building between the point of entrance of the lead-in and the TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of the conductors to the building. NEC - National Electrical Code * Antenna Discharge Unit is not required if lead in conductors are enclosed in a continuous metallic shield that is permanently and effectively grounded. Important Safety Notes If you do not feel comfortable or competent to install this antenna we recommend that you seek the assistance of a qualified professional antenna installer. Read the instructions for this device thoroughly before attempting installation. The installation or dismantling of any antenna near power lines is dangerous. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured while attempting to install or service antennas. For your safety and proper antenna installation, read and follow all safety precautions. Choose an installation site for safety as well as performance. All electric power lines, cable lines and telephone lines look alike. To be safe, assume ANY overhead line can kill you. Do not place an antenna where it could potentially fall on to, or blow into a power line. If in doubt call your electric provider. Let them review your site. Outdoor antennas should be grounded with an approved lighting arresting device. Local codes may apply. Use 8 AWG or larger ground wire. Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to your installation depending on your proximity to an airport, or local ordinances. IMPORTANT READ BEFORE INSTALLATION 3 MANT940 Instruct Eng Sp_SM 10/8/07 4:38 PM Page 4 EN Safety Instructions Take the time to plan your installation procedure. Do all assembly work on the antenna on the ground. Raise the completed antenna after assembly. Do NOT work on a wet, snowy or windy day or if a thunderstorm is approaching. Do NOT use a metal ladder. If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get away from it and let it fall. Remember that the antenna mast and cable are all excellent conductors of electrical current. IMPORTANT READ BEFORE INSTALLATION Do NOT install the antenna by yourself. Be sure that there are two other people available for help. If any part of the antenna should come in contact with a power line . . . DON'T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF. Call your local power company immediately.They will remove it. Should an electrical accident occur . . . DON'T TOUCH THE PERSON IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE, or you too can become electrocuted. Instead, use a DRY board, stick, or rope to push or pull the victim away from the power lines and antenna. Once clear, check the victim. If he has stopped breathing, immediately administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and stay with him. Have someone else call for medical help. Install wire antennas high enough that they will not be "walked into" by people. Do not install antenna wire(s) over or under utility lines. Important Information Important installation information The MANT940 uses a power injection module to power the the antenna amplifier. It is essential for proper operation of this antenna system that the amplifier be connected between the antenna and any devices such as splitters, matching transformers, networks, etc. SEE DIAGRAM TO LEFT. Disregarding this important notice may result in damaging the power injector or improper operation / poor performance. 4 MANT940 Instruct Eng Sp_SM 10/8/07 4:38 PM Page 5 Parts Included Parts included: 1.

It is important for the antenna to have an unobstructed path to the transmitter.To determine the transmitter(s) location you can consult the website http://www.antennaweb.org. For best results the antenna should be facing the transmitter location. Determining signal strength fig.1 NOTE: Do all antenna assembly work on the ground before installing on a wall or an antenna mast. 1. Attach main body to the L ­ bracket as shown, using cross head screw note the orientation of the bracket. Do not fully tighten the screw to allow for later adjustment (fig. 1). 2. Using the Wall/Mast bracket as a guide, mark position for the four 2" wood screws. If possible locate a stud to screw into. If a stud is not available, use appropriate wall anchors (not included, available at any hardware store) (fig. 2). For indoor wall mount installation: fig.2 Wall Mount 5 MANT940 Instruct Eng Sp_SM 10/8/07 4:38 PM Page 6 EN Mounting Instructions 3.

EN fig.7 Connections to your TV As previously noted the amplifier (Power Injector + Power supply) must be placed in-line between the antenna and before any splitter or additional devices. 1. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the F connector labeled ANT on the Power Injector. 2. Connect Power Injector to the antenna input on your TV, Splitter and / or any other device. 3. Connect the Power Supply DC plug to the Power Injector then plug the power supply adapter into a 110/120 Volt AC receptacle. Safety Note - The power injector and power supply is for indoor use only! Alternate connections 1. If your TV has separate inputs for UHF and VHF you will need to purchase a signal splitter that will separate the two different signals. 2. If your TV has only two screw type antenna inputs you will need to purchase a 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm transformer. A note about coaxial cable ­ Your MANT940 includes a 20 foot roll of RG-59 coaxial cable. If you should find that this is not adequate for your needs we recommend for best possible signal integrity that you do not extend this cable. A better choice is to replace the cable with either RG-6 or RG-6 Quad Shield cable. Both of these cables are designed for minimal signal loss over longer cable runs.This will ensure the best possible picture and overall performance. 7 MANT940 Instruct Eng Sp_SM 10/8/07 4:38 PM Page 8 EN Warranty Philips warrants that this product shall be free from defects in material, workmanship and assembly, under normal use, in accordance with the specifications and warnings, for as long as you own this product.This warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product, and is not transferable.
