To reduce the possibility of damage
when travelling, have the antenna
pointing towards the rear of your
caravan/motor home.
Operating
1. Loosen the Mast Locking Collar and
raise the antenna.
2. Determine whether the TV
transmissions are horizontal or vertical
and position accordingly.
3. Switch ON the amplifier and the LED
will illuminate and check the gain is
set to MIN by rotating the button anti-
clockwise.
4. Once the transmitter has been located
increase the Gain to MAX.
5. Turn on your television set and
tune in. This will be necessary at all
new locations.
6. Secure the antenna by hand tightening
the Mast Locking Collar.
IMPORTANT
You may detect more than one transmitter.
Choose the position that gives you the
most channels when tuning in your TV.
In strong signal areas you may need to
reduce the gain by rotating the control
anti-clockwise.
Removing the Antenna
A permanently fitted Status can be easily
removed leaving only the mounting foot
and rubber gaiter.

the amplifier.
2. Loosen the Mast Locking Collar and lift

cable and plug.
3. Push the Blanking Cap supplied
into place.
IMPORTANT – The Blanking Cap is a
temporary seal and is not recommended
for long term use.
