PLEASE NOTE: To power the meter for measuring 

DVB-T signals you will need to insert a 9V PP3  

battery (see fitting instructions below). 
1.  Connect a cable

 from the UHF Digital  

  TV Aerial to the connection marked  

  antenna on the DVB-T/SAT Finder.

Optionally, to view and check the signal being 

received, connect the DTV receiver or Digital 

Freeview Box ANT. IN socket to the F connection 

marked Receiver on the Finder

.

2.  Slide the switch on the side of the Finder to the  

  TV position the green power indicator LED  

  should light up.
3.  Turn the sensitivity control fully clockwise for  

  maximum sensitivity. 
If at anytime all the LED indicators are lit you can  

turn the sensitivity down for more accuracy.
4.  As a starting position, point your aerial in the  

  same direction as your neighbours’ aerials or  

  alternatively use a compass bearing*. 

 

Gradually rotate the aerial in a horizontal plane  

  to either side of your starting point until you  

  find a position in which the most LED’s are lit  

  on the Finder. 

5.  If you find more than one position giving high  

  signal levels select the one with widest zone  

  of signal strength and position the aerial in the  

  centre of this zone.

To connect cables to the meter you will need to use 

F connectors (not supplied).

A battery is only required when the meter is used 

for detecting DVB-T signals. The finder uses a 9V 

PP3 alkaline battery, to install the battery:
1.  Slide the battery compartment cover open 

  (unclip and remove old battery, if applicable).
2.  Line up the connecting studs with the correct  

  terminals on the battery and clip on.

3. Carefully fit the battery, connecting wires and  

  studs into the battery compartment.
4.  Slide the compartment cover back into  

  position making sure that connecting wires  

  are not trapped and that the cover is  

  locked securely.
