Congratulations on the purchase of your LABGT20T aerial. The aerial is ideal for the reception of all available signals in
weak and medium strength areas. The aerial design has been tuned to minimise reception of signals above 790MHz from
Lte800 4G mobile phone transmitters which can interfere with digital TV channels.
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened CAI benchmarked digital coax cable and
screened coax outlets. You will need to fit the coax cable with the F type connector supplied to connect to
the downlead (not supplied) to the F socket on the aerial.
1. Prepare the Coax Cable: Firstly fit the rubber weather boot
provided, to the aerial end of the cable. Strip the end of the
cable as shown in Fig. 1. Once you have stripped the cable,
twist the braid and pull it back on itself, make sure that no
braid is touching the copper core, this will cause a short on
the cable and you will not get any signal.
2. Fitting the F connector: Now, simply twist on
the ‘F’ connector supplied and trim the central conductor.

For best results the aerial should be mounted on an outdoor aerial mast and pointed in the direction of the nearest transmitter* making sure it is in
a position where the transmitter signal will not be obstructed by nearby trees and buildings. If you are in any doubt about the direction in which the
aerial should be pointing or the orientation of the aerial (horizontal for main transmitter, vertical for relay transmitter) check your neighbours’ aerials.

The aerial requires some assembly.
If mounting on an existing mast check that the mast is in good condition and firmly fixed.
