Magnum Dynalab ST-2 - Manual (Page 3)

- 3 -
Turn on the tuner and tune across the dial. Your reception should be acceptable, with distant
stations that might have previously been noisy being received more clearly. With these results
obtained, reception should be improved even more markedly when installed outdoors, as high up
as possible.
If reception is noisy, with one or more stations being received at more than one point on the dial,
your tuner’s front end is probably being ‘saturated’ with the increased signal from the antenna.
Do not assume this to be a defect in the
antenna. It is possible the tuner does not
have the selectivity necessary to deal with
the higher gain provided by the ST-2.
Please consult your dealer for further
information on dealing with the problem.
Installing the ST-2
When planning your installation, keep in
mind that height is the key to increasing
your receive distance, not just the gain of
the antenna. Also, in order to avoid
multipath interference or signal blockage
problems, but sure to keep the antenna
away from reflective surfaces such as
chimneys, guy wires, walls, TV masts etc.
The ST-2 may be installed atop your TV
mast without bothering the receptive
capability of your TV antenna. Simply
fasten the ‘L’ bracket to the mast using two
outdoor-type (stainless steel) hose clamps.
It may also be fastened to any vertical
surface using #6 stainless steel or brass
screws. Do not use ordinary steel screws.
They will rust very quickly as a result of
being in contact with the stainless steel
bracket (a dissimilar metal).
Avoid installing the antenna on the side of
a mast or tower. Doing so could c
detune the antenna or, at the very least,
cause it to become directional.
