If you are still experiencing reception problems after installation, please refer to the
trouble-shooting guide below
Problems with Digital TV Reception
Unlike analogue terrestrial television, it is not possible to view digital channel under weak signal
strength conditions. Therefore, typically you will either receive digital channels with a clear picture and
sound or you will not receive any channels at all.
Insufficient digital signal can cause occasional blocking, freezing or complete loss of picture. Some roof
antennas may not be suitable for digital terrestrial television. Ensure that you have fitted a suitable
antenna to help improve signal quality to a suitable level for clear digital reception. Further check that
all connections & cable from antenna to receiver are good quality, secure and clean.
Blocking, freezing or complete loss of picture can also occur when a digital signal is too strong.
Adjusting the gain control knob until the picture improves may help.

been activated
When the surge protection red
light comes on, it shows that a
power surge or spike has happened
and the surge protection has been
activated. this will return to normal
and will require no action by
yourself. Wait until the power surge
or spike passes and the red light
goes out. This feature ensures that
you have that extra protection and
piece of mind.
No Light: Normal operation
Power Light
Green when power on
Short Protection
Red Light: Short is detected
When the short protection red
light comes on, it shows a short has
been detected. To check, disconnect
each cable one at a time from the
distribution amplifier until the light
turns green. You can follow that line
until you find the short. (Typically
newly terminated cables).

IDENTIFICATION
GAIN ADJUSTMENT FEATURE
A TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Distribution amplifier can be used with indoor or outdoor antennas, typically installed within your roof
cavity. The “UHF” only input is for UHF only antennas, ie. those not receiving VHF.
Option 1:
Your distribution amplifier can be placed in roof cavity for multiple TV outlets.
Option 2:
It can be placed next to TV to split your wallplate signal or indoor antenna signal between
multiple devises located together. This allows more control over the split signal.
A gain control knob has been incorporated to allow for more
control over the amplified signal level. When setting up your
distribution amplifier begin with the control knob in the
minimum level position and increase until good picture can
be seen.
NOTE: Too much
gain can cause
similar problems to
insufficient signals.
