cables to the TV signal booster, where available follow
manufacturers instructions otherwise use the instructions
below which are suitable for most coax plugs
1.
Unscrew coax plug housing and slide cap over cable.
2.
Strip 23mm of cable outer sheath.
Gather copper braid, wrap around outer sheath,
slide claw over braid and crimp.
3.
Strip 18mm of inner insulation to leave 5mm exposed.
4.
Undo screw on plug/clamp, slide clamp over inner wire
& tighten screw.

1. Connect your UHF aerial downlead to the input on your CCA TV signal booster.
2. If connecting to a digital TV with built in Freeview™ receiver connect one end of a TV aerial flylead to any of
the TV signal outputs 1, 2, 3, 4 on your CCA booster and the other end to the
ANTENNA IN
(
ANT IN,
UHF IN
) coax socket on your TV. This applies when the TV is in the same room as the booster.
3. For TVs situated in remote rooms connect the cable running to the remote coax outlet to any of the
outputs 1, 2, 3, 4 on your CCA booster. Connect one end of a TV aerial flylead to the surface socket and the
other end to the
ANTENNA IN
(
ANT IN, UHF IN
) coax socket on your TV.
4. For older TVs a separate Freeview™ set top or plug in receiver will be required. This should be
connected to the surface outlet by a TV aerial flylead to the
ANTENNA IN
(
ANT IN, UHF IN
) coax socket on
your Freeview™ receiver. The Freeview™ receiver will then usually be connected to a TV via a Scart lead.
5. If a video recorder or DVD recorder is to be included in the system this should be connected between the
amplifier/aerial outlet and the digital TV or for older TVs between the Freeview™ receiver and the TV.
**Please note that although satellite signals can be distributed using this kit, it will not be possible to control
your Sky™ box from the remote locations as
the CCA TV signal booster
doesn’t have digital bypass.
Sky™ boxes can be connected locally to any of the TVs providing they have an individual feed from a satellite
dish. Sky™ box should be connected between Freeview™ receiver (if present) and TV or between Freeview™
receiver and VCR/DVR (if present) - see above.
