Ensure correct polarity and band connections.
3. Terrestrial Antenna Connection: Connect the coaxial cable from your terrestrial antenna (DVB-T) to the input labeled "TER" or "Antenna".
4. Connexions del receptor: Connect coaxial cables from your satellite receivers to the "OUT" ports on the multiswitch. This model provides 16 output ports.
5. Connexió d'alimentació: Once all signal cables are securely connected, plug the integrated power supply into a suitable electrical outlet.
6. Configuració del receptor: Configure each connected satellite receiver to use DiSEqC 1.0 or 2.0 settings to select the desired satellite positions. Refer to your receiver's user manual for specific instructions.

Nota: For optimal performance, ensure all F-connectors are tightened securely to prevent signal loss and interference.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

Once the multiswitch is installed and powered on, operation is primarily managed through your connected satellite receivers.

• Encès: Ensure the multiswitch is powered on. There is typically no external power switch; it powers on automatically when connected to the mains.
• Receiver Selection: Use your satellite receiver's remote control to select channels. The receiver will send DiSEqC commands to the multiswitch to select the correct satellite and LNB band.
• Canals terrestres: Terrestrial signals connected to the "TER" input are typically combined with satellite signals and distributed to all outputs. Your receiver should be able to access these channels if it has a DVB-T tuner.
