power pack (located in a top locker near to

may be adjusted depending on the local
television transmissions.

INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS &
POSSIBLE REMEDIES
1. Weak TV Signal - This produces a ‘snowy’
picture which can be caused if you are far
away from the TV station or if there is a
building or hill between you and the station
blocking the signal. Each TV station has a
defined service area where the strength of
the signal is adequate to give a good
reception. Beyond this boundary of the
service area is a ‘fringe’ area where the
signal will be weaker thus giving a poor
quality picture. The sound from the signal
is not usually affected unless the signal is
very weak.
Remedy - Check the gain control on the
power pack is set to ‘NML’. Check that
your signal is not due to a broken or
disconnected lead or poor co-axial plug
connections.
2. Strong TV Signal - This produces a
herringbone pattern type of interference
which is caused when you are close to a
transmitter or picking up a strong radio
transmission from another source.
Remedy - Switch the gain control on the
power pack to ‘LO’.
3. Ghosting - This is produced when the TV
signal is reflecting from a building or
landmark in your locality creating a double
or ‘ghost’ image of the picture.
Remedy - If possible try to move to a better
position away from the obstruction.
Generally the higher the position, the
better.
4. Electrical Interference - This type of
interference is commonly caused by
domestic electrical appliances, such as
fans, electric shavers, fluorescent lights,
inverters, chargers, etc.
Remedy - Turning off the offending
appliance should help.
REMOVING THE AERIAL
If there are severe height restriction problems
the aerial may be removed leaving only the
mounting footplate.
1. Unplug the co-axial ‘in’ plug from the
power pack.
2. Loosen the two grub screws with an Allen
key.
3. Lift off the aerial dome whilst carefully
feeding out the co-axial cable with the plug
attached.
4. Push the opaque blanking cap into place
to cover the central hole to protect from the
elements,
5. To replace the aerial, simply reverse the
above procedure.
