Fault Finding
The following are some of the key areas we suggest you check which generally solve the most common
problems encountered with the operation of the Status antenna.
Coaxial Plugs
It is critical that all coaxial plugs in the system are fitted correctly. Please check each individual plug
ensuring it is wired correctly. Secondly please ensure only quality plugs have been used.
Coaxial Cable
Sharp bends, kinks and hot surfaces can easily damage coaxial cable and should be avoided. An
inspection of the cable routing is recommended to ensure all is correct. Coaxial cable, if placed in close
proximity to electrical cables, transformers or other pieces of electrical equipment, may pick up electrical
interference causing picture quality to deteriorate, especially in poor reception areas. Excess cable
should be removed and NOT coiled as this may cause picture distortion.
Gain Control
In normal use the button should be rotated clockwise for maximum. In strong signal areas the amplification
may need to be reduced. To reduce amplification rotate the button anti- clockwise until the picture
quality improves. The button rotates through 270 degrees from MAX to MIN.
Red LED Light
Should the LED on the Amplifier not light< firstly check there is power to the unit. Secondly check the
polarity is correct. Otherwise contact ourselves for further assistance.
If the LED is still not lit, contact our office for further assistance.
Short Hook up Test
Using your TV Fly Lead and adapter plugs connect your TV direct to the Amplifier, plugging into one of
the TV sockets.
Ensure the Antenna Dome is plugged directly into the ‘Ant-IN socket of the Amplifier and switch on.
Tune in your TV for the strongest signal.
Antenna Dome Coaxial Cable
Check the routing of the coaxial cable from the Antenna Dome to the Power Pack. Check to ensure
there are no kinks or trapped cable or if there are loops of surplus cable which could be affecting
performance.
