RAVELLING
Do not travel in the following
circumstances
• With the antenna raised.
• With the antenna set for vertical signals.

PERATING
1. Firstly determine the approximate
location of the nearest transmitter and
whether the signals are horizontally
or vertically polarised. For assistance
ask your site operator or check other
antennas in the vicinity.
2. Loosen the mast locking collar and raise
the antenna. Rotate the mast to direct the
antenna towards the TV transmitter.
3. The H/V indicator on the bottom of the
mast indicates the back of the antenna.
4. Should you need to receive vertically
polarised signals, rotate the winder anti-
clockwise to tilt the antenna through 90º.
5. DO NOT use undue force on the winder.
6. Switch ON the amplifier and the LED will
illuminate.
7. Check the gain control is set to maximum.
For maximum rotate clockwise.
8. Tune your television into the strongest
signal. You may need to adjust the
direction of the mast to achieve the best
picture quality.
9. Secure by tightening the mast locking
collar.
