Amber LED - Surge and Spike Protection
When the amber light comes on the SLx logo
backlight will go out. This indicates that there
has been a power surge or spike, this will return
to normal and will require no action by yourself.
After the power surge or spike has passed the
amber light will go out and the SLx logo will be lit
again. This feature ensures that you have that extra
protection and peace of mind.

Specications
If you are experiencing reception problems after
installing the SLxG, please see below:
No picture or sound
No signal is reaching your television due to a
possible break in the aerial signal path. Ensure that
all equipment has been switched on (including the
SLxG amplier) and that all coaxial connectors have
been tted correctly.
Problems with TV Recepion
It is usually not possible to view digital terrestrial TV
channels under weak signal strength conditions.
Therefore, typically you will either receive DTT
channels with a clear picture and sound or you will
not receive any channels at all.
A weak digital signal can cause occasional blocking,
freezing or complete loss of picture. Ensure that your
aerial is a wideband, high gain aerial suitable for
DTT reception. Blocking, freezing or complete loss of
picture can also occur when the signal is too strong
adjust the variable gain to reduce the signal.
If the signal is still too strong you do not want to
amplify the signal and may need to t a signal
attenuator between the aerial downlead and DTT
receiver to reduce the signal strength.
