AU-14F Receiving Channels: 13~69 ch 14-Element (F-Type) For receiving the Horizontal/Vertical Polarization.
Features: • UHF Antenna designed for receiving the digital TV broadcasting signals for the best performance, and for the longevity with the water resistant construction. • Obtained the maximum front/rear ration, gain, and VSWR for the wide frequency range employing the Dual dipole array feeding system. • Employing the corner reflector to reduce the ghost interference with improved front/rear ratio. • The output terminal is provided for 75 coaxial cable.
Thank you for purchasing Nippon Antenna products. • Read this manual carefully before using. • Store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Direction
Locate the receiving antenna away from heavy traffic and (or) high-tension wires.
Height

More than 1 m More than 1 m
Locate the receiving antenna in a direct line of sight to the transmitting stations.
Avoid injuries while installing.
Locate the receiving antenna away from other antenna as far as possible.
Turn more to the left!
Locate the antenna (place, height, & direction) where you can get the best reception.
Coaxial cable
Secure the coaxial cable away from eavestrough and roof so that it does not touch them in any weather conditions.
Cut the center conductor at about 1-2 mm from the edge of F-Type connector. Cutting the center conductor in diagonal will make easier to connect the cable. (However, be careful not to puncture your fingers.)
Connecting coaxial cable to the antenna and the water proofing. Connect the coaxial cable to the antenna feeder assembly and tighten the connector with pliers, etc. Do not over tighten the connector. The torque should be about 2.0 N·m (20 kgf-cm). Complete with the water resistant cap tightly inserted towards the feeder assembly. It is recommended that additional protection to wrap self adhesive tape around the conElectric tape (not included) Antenna feeder Vinyl tape (not included) nector then cover assembly with the water resistant cap for regions that have the salt damages and (or) heavy raining.
