This aerial has been manufactured to the standard required to get the best reception of digital terrestrial TV services (such as Freeview™).
To check coverage or find out where your nearest transmitter is visit: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/ and enter your postcode and
house number. Check the detailed view box to find out the distance to your nearest transmitter and it's compass bearing.For optimum results install the
aerial using double screened digital coax cable and screened coax outlets.

Main Features

Wideband - suitable for all UK TV reception areas, covering
frequency range 460-790MHz
•
Suited for strong signal strength areas only
The aerial requires some assembly -
please read these instructions carefully before beginning.

A. Boom assembly

1. The central boom comes in two sections using the bracket
and screws supplied and the holes drilled in the boom
sections join these two sections as shown in Fig. 1.

B. Fitting the dipole assembly

The dipole clips onto the central boom. Ensure that the cable
exit hole (from the terminal box) faces the rear of the aerial
and that the locating stud fits into the locating hole on the
boom as shown in Fig. 2.

C. Fitting the reflectors

1. Using the reflector clamps, screw and large wing nut, fix
the reflector assemblies to the main aerial boom as
shown in Fig. 3 & Fig.4.
2. Check that the reflector clamp tabs locate in the holes
of the reflector boom sections and that the wing nut
is tight as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Ensure that the reflector elements are facing towards the
front of the aerial (convex surface forward).

Please Note: Coaxial cable, mountings and masts are not supplied with this aerial. You will need to select these from the range
available according to the specific requirements of your installation. The quality of the coaxial cable used is as important as
the quality of the aerial and you should make sure that if it is not specifically marked as suitable for digital TV it is of the same
quality as that used for digital satellite installations.
