Energy Sistem™ thanks you for buying your new TDT SD3. We hope you will enjoy it.
The next sections will offer you a general overview of your new device and its main features.
Before you start using your TDT SD3 we recommend you to read this manual and familiarize yourself with it. It only takes a few minutes and it will help you to enjoy your device with maximum performance.
To use the remote control, point it to the front part of the receiver cable. The receiving cable has a sensor with an adhesive surface on the one end to place it on the front of the television. Before adhering it, and to ensure a secure installation, make sure the surface is completely smooth, clean it with alcohol and dry it completely. Remove the protection from the adhesive material and paste it on a point near the centre of your TV.
Make sure the field of vision between the remote control and the receiver is free of obstacles to ensure the best reception. The remote control has one IR transmitter in the upper part with a range of up to 7 metres from the receiver at an angle of up to 30º in both directions.
If the remote control range becomes lower, and the field of vision between the remote control and the receiver is free of obstacles, maybe the batteries are empty. We recommend replacing the batteries.
Battery installation.
Remove the battery compartment cover in the remote control and slide two AA batteries into it. As shown in the following picture.
Recomendaciones acerca de las baterías.
Caution: Check that the voltage in the power outlet is appropriate for the power adaptor of your TDT SD3, that is 110 to 240 V. Disconnect the devices from the energy network before connecting it. Check the information given by the manufacturer of your TV if necessary.
Optionally, you can extend the antenna signal to another device, as a videorecorder, by connecting another antenna cable to your SD3 Ant OUT connector.
