AERIAL
MYTHS
Initially, if you use an existing analogue rooftop
or loft aerial now, often there is no need to buy a
new aerial, provided the aerial is in good
condition.
However, if the current aerial or it’s cabling is in
poor condition which results in unsatisfactorily
reception, you could improve this with a new
aerial suitable for digital terrestrial reception.
You can receive excellent digital TV and Radio:
■
if the service provider delivers enough
signal (level and quality) to your area;
■
if the indoor or outdoor aerial is healthy
(aerial is clean, in good condition and
correctly aimed);
■
if the connection between the aerial and TV
set is healthy (good quality cable, 75 ohm,
no sharp bends or kinks, metal connectors);
You can, in certain situations, improve the
digital TV and Radio reception:
■
if you use an outdoor aerial, which is not
obstructed by the metalwork that is used in
the building construction,
■
if you use an active aerial for situations
where you have a long cable between the
aerial and the receiver.
I
F
IN
DOUBT
Please check with your retailer first in case you
need to upgrade your rooftop or loft aerial.
NOTE
In some parts of the UK, FREEVIEW signals
use a different frequency or transmitter from
your existing analogue service and therefore
it is recommended to fit a so called
“wide band” type of aerial.

C
LEANING
1. Switch the receiver to OFF.
2. Wait at least five seconds, to help avoid
possible damage to the receiver’s
electronics.
3. Use a dry, soft and clean lint-free cleaning
cloth to clean the receiver.
4. If you need to use a detergent, make a mild-
soap solution. Other cleaning agents can
cause damage to the outside surface.
a. Make a dry, soft and clean lint-free
cleaning cloth a little damp.
b. Carefully wipe the surface and make sure
that no moisture gets into the receiver.
c. Let the receiver dry on the air.
