• Replace the batteries. (see page 3.)

-Have the TV and aerial been connected properly?
-Has the aerial cable been damaged?
-Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?
-Is the aerial itself faulty?
•If the TV or aerial suffer interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment which can cause interference away from the TV.
•If the TV or aerial suffer interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Change the aerial’s direction or replace it with an aerial with better directionality.
•When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress) is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it is coloured. When the image disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also disappear.
