What is the function of this device?
Your DVB-T350 receives digital terrestrial TV- and Radio-programs. Contrary to analog
TV-reception, digital TV facilitates a higher quality of reception without disturbances through
interferences in the image display. This results in a noticeably higher image- and sound
quality. Owing to the small size of the unit, you can now everywhere enjoy the benefits of
DVB-T television, as well while travelling in a motor vehicle (up to 70 km/h), or while
camping etc. With the cable enclosed, you can also watch the program on TV devices or a
computer with A/V input. In case you are tuning in for the first time, you will be assisted by a
wizard which enables an absolutely easy channel search.
Before You Switch ON
Using the Remote Control Handset
1. The remote control uses a pre-installed NiMH type battery. To prevent an anticipated
discharge of the battery, we’ve inserted an insulating strip. Please pull it out prior to first
operation.
Should the r/c start to work unreliably replace the battery with a new one of the same
type. Open the battery compartment. Push the retention clip in the direction of arrow and
pull out the battery mounting.
2. Before you take out the empty battery, please memorise its
position. The “+” marking must show upwards, otherwise the
r/c will not work and may be damaged.
3. Please point the r/c towards the main unit when operating its buttons.
The r/c works properly in a distance below 6m and in an angle of up to 30° of the front of
the unit. No obstacles may stand in the way between r/c and infrared sensor.
Ø
Batteries should not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please lead empty
batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never throw batteries into fire.
Ø
If you won’t use the r/c for some time, please remove the battery from the compartment,
to prevent damage by leakage.
Tip: The steps described here for usage mainly refer to the use of a
remote control. Buttons on the device with the same or similar
names have the same function as in the remote control.

Instructions for the built-in battery
The device has a built-in rechargeable battery. Please take note of the following instructions
for it:
1. As soon as the device is provided with power through the power adaptor, the battery is
charged. As long as the operating mode display on the right hand side of the device is sho
-
wing a green light, the battery is being charged.
2. Before the first start–up, the battery should be fully charged. During charging the on/off
button should be in “OFF” position. It takes 4-5 hours to fully charge a battery.
3. During charging process, the battery heats up. This is normal.
4. With a fully charged battery, you can run the device for approx. 2 hours.
5. In case of a weak battery, the device shuts down on its own.
6. The built-in battery should never be drained, as that would lower its performance and life
span. The battery is drained when you don’t use the device for a long time. Therefore we
suggest you to activate the battery mode once in a month and to let it run till the battery is
empty. Thereafter recharge the battery once again.
