Notes: 

•  You must follow the connection labeling on the 

amplifier: 

To Antenna

 and 

To Power Injector

. The 

amplifier will not receive power if it is reversed.

•  You must follow the connection labeling on the 

power injector: 

To TV

 and 

To ANT

. Your TV or 

receiver will be damaged if it is reversed. 

•  Consult your service provider before installing an 

amplifier to a 75 ohm input.

•  Make sure the power injector is between the amplifier 

and the splitter (before the signal is split).

•  Install waterproof seal around outdoor connections.
•  The in-line signal amplifier is designed for use with 

F-type connectors. For some antenna systems (such 

as scanners), you must use connection adapters or 

make special cables.

Troubleshooting

If your receiver does not improve signal strength after 
you install the in-line signal amplifier: 

•  Check all connections. 
•  Unplug the power injector. If the signal worsens, the 

amplifier was functioning. 

•  Try connecting to a different receiver. If possible, also 

try connecting to a different antenna system. 

•  Minimize the number of splitters between the antenna 

and your receiver, or try using amplified splitters.

•  Minimize the cable length between input and receiver.
