Please Note: Coaxial cable, mountings and masts are not
supplied with this aerial. You will need to select these from the
range available according to the specific requirements of your
installation. The quality of the coaxial cable used is important
especially for long cable runs wherever possible use CAI approved
double screened satellite cable such as PF100.
Safety Warnings
Before starting installation ensure that the structure to which you intend to
attach your aerial is sound and check for hidden electrical wiring or plumbing.
When working on an installation outside, beware of overhead power lines.
Observe safe working practices, tread carefully and ensure adequate lighting
is available in loft or roof space.
Before making any connections switch electricity off at the mains.
If the aerial is to be used for Freeview™ reception check before installation at
www.dtg.org.uk/industry/coverage.html to confirm that your home
is in a coverage area and to find out where your local transmitter is.
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened digital
coax cable and screened coax outlets.
The aerial requires a minimal amount of assembly (attaching
the reflectors) - please read these instructions carefully before
starting assembly and installation.
