If you are experience reception problems after
installing the SLxG, please see below:
No picture or sound
No signal is reaching your television due to a
possible break in the aerial signal path. Ensure that
all equipment has been switched on (including the
SLxG amplifier) and that all coaxial connectors have
been fitted correctly.
Problems with Digital TV Recepion
Unlike analogue terrestrial television, it is not
possible to view DTT channel under weak signal
strength conditions. Therefore, typically you will
either receive DTT channels with a clear picture and
sound or you will not receive any channels at all.
A weak digital signal can cause occasional blocking,
freezing or complete loss of picture. Ensure that your
aerial is a wideband, high gain aerial suitable for
DTT reception. Blocking, freezing or complete loss of
picture can also occur when the signal is too strong.
If the signal is still too strong, fit a signal attenuator
between the aerial downlead and DTT receiver to
reduce the signal strength.

Problems with satellite television
If you are experiencing any problems with your
satellite television picture, check that all cables
and connectors have been fitted correctly. If the
problem persists it is probably due to the dish
alignment or a temporary problem with the channel
transmissions. Please contact your local satellite
dealer if the problem persists.

Specifications
Green LED configuration
Green LED - Power on
Amber LED - Surge and Spike Protection
When the amber light comes on the SLx logo back
light will go out. This indicates that there has been a
power surge or spike, this will return to normal and
will require no action by yourself. After the power
surge or spike has passed the amber light will go
out and the SLx gold logo will be lit again. This
feature ensures that you have that extra protection
and piece of mind.
Red LED -Short Circuit Protection
If the red LED comes on remove the output coaxial
cables one by one until the red LED goes out.
Replace leads one by one, if the red LED light comes
on, there is a short circuit between the central
conductor and the braiding on this coaxial cable.
Check the wiring of the connectors/connections on
both ends of the cable to see if there is a strand of
braid touching the central conductor. If so, rewire
the connection so that the braid is well clear of the
central conductor and retry procedure.
