Thank you for choosing the Antsig range of quality audio video equipment.
The D-MAX Range of antenna have been designed and tested in Australia using a state-of-the-art Anechoic 

Chamber. This ensures that your antenna has been optimised to capture high definition digital TV signals.
Successful antenna installation requires strong collection of the TV signal and distribution of the TV signal.

Follow these key guidelines for proper installation:

• Note your position to transmitter towers 

•  Use RG6 quad cable for installation 

• Mount antenna high as possible with fewest  

•  Terminate with F-connectors 

   obstructions in line of sight with transmitter 

•  Keep cable lengths to a minimum

If, at any time, you are unsure about performing any functions relating to antenna installation, please contact  

a professional installer.

Note: The channel chart above shows the relationship between channels broadcast and the frequency  

at which they are broadcast. Digital TV allows multiple TV channels to be overlayed on the one broadcast   

frequency. i.e. Channel 7’s broadcast channel will contain information for TV Channels 7, 7Two and 7Mate.

Always plan your installation. Carefully think 

through the job and don’t take dangerous 

shortcuts. Common sense and good judgement 

must be used at all times;
Carefully survey the job before the installation to 

locate secure roof areas and the most convenient 

placement for ladders. Work out where the 

strongest points are for mast and cable mounting;
Always let someone know you are working on  

the roof;
Locate and avoid overhead power lines. Antennas 

must always be installed away from over-head 

power lines and preferably at a distance equal 

to twice the combined length of the mast and 

antenna;
Do not climb on the roof when there is no-one 

else around;

Wear proper shoes that are non-slip;
Do not climb on wet or icy roofs NOR attempt to 

install the antenna during wet or windy weather;
Only use the sturdiest of ladders and ensure they 

are securely anchored before climbing;
Do not step onto roof valleys, these are often 

weak, even in new homes;
Ensure that all roof structures are structurally 

sound before putting any weight on them or 

mounting antenna hardware to them;
Always remember that you are standing on the 

roof, take your time and don’t be distracted by 

passersby;
If installing an antenna within the roof cavity, 

ensure that the ceiling will support your weight.
