4G Ready High Gain Aerial
LAB 454W/S
Congratulations on the purchase of your high gain digital aerial. The aerial is ideal for the
reception of all available signals in weak and fringe areas.
The aerial has also been designed to restrict bandwidth to prevent interference &
channel loss on TVs caused by 4G mobile phone signals.
The aerial is of particularly robust construction to ensure a long operating life.

Installation Instructions
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened CAI approved
digital coax cable and screened coax outlets. You will need to t the coax
cable with an F type connector to connect to the aerial balun.
1. Prepare the Coax Cable: Firstly fit the rubber weather boot
provided, to the aerial end of the cable. Strip the end of the
cable as shown in Fig. 1. Once you have stripped the cable,
twist the braid and pull it back on itself, make sure that no
braid is touching the copper core, this will cause a short on
the cable and you will not get any signal.
2. Fitting the F connector (not supplied): Now, simply twist on an
‘F’ connector and trim central conductor.
For best results the aerial should be mounted on an outdoor aerial mast and pointed in the direction of the nearest
transmitter* making sure it is in a position where the transmitter signal will not be obstructed by nearby trees and
buildings. If you are in any doubt about the direction in which the aerial should be pointing or the orientation of
the aerial (horizontal for main transmitter, vertical for relay transmitter) check your neighbours’ aerials.

1. Unfold the booms as shown above. To lock the booms in position
turn both of the two knobs on either side of the aerial in a clockwise
direction through 180˚ making sure that the arrows line up with
the locked symbol - see Fig. 4.

2. Next fasten the balun to the underside of the main
boom as shown in Fig. 5. Make sure the balun is the
right way round as shown in Fig. 4 and 8.
3. Fix the reflectors to the main boom using the brackets
and the bolt with wing nut supplied as shown below
in Fig. 6.

4.
Connect the aerial downlead to the ‘F’ socket on the
aerial balun (be careful not to over tighten the
F connector as this will damage the balun).
Ensure that the weather boot is correctly secured
over the ‘F’ connector and socket - see Fig. 9.
Make sure that the coax cable is routed as shown in
Fig. 9 (through the middle of the lower reector).
Use insulating tape, to secure the the coax downlead
to the reector and mast.

Use the tilting mast clamp supplied to x the aerial
securely to the mast. Adjust the tilt angle and
direction to receive the optimum
signal - see Fig. 8.
Troubleshooting
No picture: Check all connections
from aerial to TV.
Poor picture: Check all connections
from aerial to TV. Check aerial is properly aligned to the
correct transmitter. If the aerial has been loft mounted try
mounting outside. Make sure new digital coax cable has
been used throughout the installation.
Check the transmitter signal is not obstructed by nearby
trees or buildings.
If in a very weak signal area or for long cable runs,
installing a masthead amplifier will improve the signal.
If in a strong signal area the signal strength may need to
be reduced by fitting an attenuator.
Caution
When mounting the assembled aerial, always observe safety
precautions and use the correct equipment.
Unless you are competent in the use of ladders and other
access equipment,do not work outdoors at roof height.
If in any doubt, refer to a qualied aerial installer.
