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.

Batteries should not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please lead empty

batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never throw batteries into fire.

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.

Operating voltage

In stationary mode, please use the device exclusively with the enclosed mains adaptor.

Place the adaptor in a well-connected 230 V household power socket. Connect the

cable of the mains adaptor and the DC IN 5V socket on the left hand side of the device.

The device is now ready to operate.

Headphone mode

You can connect an earphone or headphone to a headphone socket. The built-in

loudspeaker is then switched off. Be careful of the sound. Increased sound levels

in ear or headphone can cause lasting and permanent damage to your ear.

A/V Input/Output

Although your DVB-T350 has a screen, the received DVB-T program can also be

reproduced through an external TV device. For this connect the video output (VIDEO

OUT) as well as audio output on the left hand side of the device through the enclosed

audio/video cable with the video or audio input of the TV device.

Menus are structured very clearly and are predominantly self-explanatory. Therefore

we do not go into naming and explaining every small menu item. However we consider

a brief description of the following menu functions appropriate:

Main menu > Program List > TV Program List

If you select this menu item, the

programme- editing table is displayed on

the screen. Scroll up and down with the 56

keys, in order to be able to view the entire

list of the detected channels. Now individual

programmes can be...

. . . added to favourites.

If you later switch-on the favourite-

function, only your favourite- channels are

displayed while you zap channels. Select the rows of the required channels for this

purpose and select the field „Favor” with the ENTER-key. Now, a heart symbol is

displayed in this field. Press the key once again if you wish to deselect this channel as a

favourite.

...moved.

When the position of two programmes in the list needs to be interchanged, select the

row of the first channel that needs to be moved and press the ENTER-key with the

selected field as “Move”. Now a double arrow is displayed in this field. Now interchange

the row of the channel, which needs to be interchanged with the selected row, and

press the ENTER-key. Now the channels’ positions in the list have been interchanged.

. . . deleted.

If you do not wish to view a channel at all in the future, then select the row of the

channel that needs to be deleted and press the ENTER-key on selection of the „Delete”

field. Now an X is displayed in this field. As soon as you exit the list with the -key,

the channel is deleted.

Main menu > System setting > Antenna Power

In this menu item you can select whether the

connected antenna is to be provided with an

operating voltage (5V, 50A max.) from the

device. This is necessary only when you want to

use an active antenna, i.e. one with built-in

booster. The enclosed antenna is passive. That is

why while using it, it must be set to “OFF”.

ATTENTION: Even when you are using an active antenna with the device that has its own

power supply, “OFF” MUST be selected in this menu item, otherwise the device will be

damaged.

Main menu > System setting > Factory Default

If you want to reset the entire settings of the device to the default status, then activate “YES”

in this menu item. All the settings you made before will be deleted. Afterwards the assistant

for first-time installation is once again at your disposal.

Main menu > TFT settings

Through 34 buttons here you can enter the

desired values for brightness, contrast and colour

of the picture according to your personal

preferences.

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.
