Troubleshooting
No picture:
Check all connections
from aerial to TV.
Poor picture:
Check all connections from aerial to TV.
Check aerial is properly aligned to the correct transmitter.
If the aerial has been loft mounted try mounting outside.
Make sure new digital coax cable has been used
throughout the installation.
Check the transmitter signal is not obstructed by nearby
trees or buildings.
If in a very weak signal area or for long cable runs,
installing a masthead amplifier will improve the signal.
If in a strong signal area the signal strength may need to
be reduced by fitting an attenuator.
Caution
When mounting the assembled aerial, always observe safety
precautions and use the correct equipment.
Unless you are competent in the use of ladders and other
access equipment,do not work outdoors at roof height.
If in any doubt, refer to a qualified aerial installer.

4. Connect the aerial downlead to the ‘F’ socket on the
aerial balun (be careful not to over tighten the
F connector as this will damage the balun). Ensure
that the weather boot is correctly secured over
the ‘F’ connector and socket - see Fig. 8.
Make sure that the coax cable is routed as
shown in Fig. 8 (through the middle of the
lower reflector). Use insulating tape, to
secure the the coax downlead to the
reflector and mast.
5. Use the tilting mast clamp supplied to fix
the aerial securely to the mast. To adjust the
tilt angle loosen the two bolts, tilt to
horizontal and then re-tighten nuts (see Fig. 9).
