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.
Unfold the booms as shown overleaf
1a. Secure the booms at the front of the aerial using one of the bolts supplied with standard nuts.
1b. Secure the booms at the back of the aerial using the other bolt with a standard nut.
2. Fix the reflectors to the main boom as shown using the brackets and one of the bolts with wing nuts.
3. Next fasten the balun to the main boom using the other bolt with a wing nut.
Make sure the F connector on the balun is facing towards the back of the aerial.
4.
Connect to the ‘F’ socket on the aerial balun and slide the weather boot over the ‘F’ connector and socket to give a
weather proof seal.
5.
Use the mast clamp supplied to fix the aerial securely to the mast.

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.
