5. On 44- and 52-Element models attach the cradle to
the top of the mast. (The mast must not extend above
the cradle)
On 32-element models attach the aerial to the mast as
shown below:
If the transmitter is horizontally polarised (most main
transmitters are horizontally polarised) mount as shown
in the left picture.
If the transmitter is vertically polarised (most local
repeaters are vertically polarised) mount as shown in the
right picture.
If in doubt, observe other aerials installed in the
neighbourhood.

6. On all models connect the coaxial cable as shown
using 75 W low-loss coaxial cable. Never use 50 Ω coax,
or any other type of screened cable, as this will result in
a loss of signal.
7. Enhanced waterproofing can be achieved by putting a
small amount of silicone or petroleum jelly around the lid
of the connection box before assembling.
OPERATION
These aerials are intended for use with analogue and
digital television receivers in Band IV and Band V
(470MHz to 860MHz). They are wideband aerials, so
can be used whenever Group A, Group B, Group CD, or
Group W aerials are specified.

32-Element aerials can be used in strong signal areas.
44-Element aerials can be used in medium or strong
signal areas.
52-Element aerials can be used in weak, medium or
strong signal areas.
These aerials are not suitable for use with FM radio
(Band II, 87.MHz to 108MHz) or DAB radio (Band III,
174MHz to 230MHz).
Orient the aerial so that it points to the nearest
transmitter. You can find the location of your nearest
transmitter at http://www.ukfree.tv/transmitter.php
If there is an obstruction in the direction of the
transmitter, then pointing the aerial slightly to one side
of the obstruction may result in improved reception.
If in doubt, observe other aerials installed in the
neighbourhood, and orient the aerial in the same
direction.
