SAFETY FIRST - PLEASE READ
Turn on your TV set. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions
to tune your TV into the available digital or analogue
channels. Select a tuned-in analogue channel.
Next, carry out the following pr ocedures:
1. Turn your aerial to the LEFT until you lose the picture
(if alone turn the volume up and turn until you hear a
reduction in sound quality).
2. Remember this position and turn your aerial to the
RIGHT until you lose the picture/sound again.
3. Now point the aerial in the centre of these two points
and you will receiv
e optimum reception.

TYPICA L AERIAL MOUNTING APPLICATI ON EXAMPLES
WALL AND L OFT F IXING KITS ARE AVAI LABLE FROM WILKI NSON (INCLU DES 1 0M COAX IAL C ABLE)
You should mount your aerial as high as possible on either a chimney, on an external wall,
or in the loft. Remember, that in general, TV pictures improve with height and the less
obstructions between the aerial and the transmitter the better.
Now point your aerial in the direction of the transmitter by looking at neighbours aerials and
copy the direction they are pointing. If you decide to fit the aerial in your lof t, special care
should be taken when walking in the roof space.
