Troubleshooting
No picture:
Check all the connections from aerial to TV.
Poor picture:
Check all the 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.

Adjust the tilt and direction
of the mast clamp (5) to
tune for optimum reception.
For best results mount the aerial
on an outdoor aerial mast
pointed at 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 unsure of the direction
the aerial should be pointing in,
or the orientation of the aerial
(horizontal for a main transmitter, vertical for a relay transmitter)
check your neighbours’ aerials. When adjusting the tilt angle
of the aerial, aim for horizontal or very slightly tilted upwards.
Tighten the nuts on the tilting mast bracket (7) when the
position is correct.
To help you align your aerial, ask someone to watch a con-
nected TV while you make adjustments.
You can also use a signal strength meter (not included) to
align your aerial for optimum reception.

Installation
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.
