Congratulations on the purchase of your high gain aerial.
The aerial is ideal for the reception of all available signals in
weak and medium strength areas.
• Tuned to exclude signals from Lte 800 4G and Lte 700 5G
mobile phone transmitters which might cause interference
• F type connection
• Forward Gain 15dBi
• Suitable for outdoor or loft installation
• Rugged construction
• Clip-on reflectors for rapid assembly
Assembly and Installation
Please read the General Safety Precautions overleaf before starting your installation
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. For
vertical mounting rotate the aerial through 90° before attaching to the cradle.
Loft mounting is often a viable option in strong/medium signal strength areas
allthough the roof may cause some loss of signal strength.
If mounting on an existing mast, first check that the mast is in good condition
and firmly fixed in position.
1. The reflector bracket rotates through 90˚. When boxed it is usually in the
horizontal position as it takes up less space. Before attaching the reflectors, the
bracket must be rotated into the vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1 & 2.
If you need to rotate the bracket push it towards the front of the aerial to
unlock, then rotate clockwise through 90˚ using the arrow as a guide then pull
the bracket back into it's original position.*
2. Rotate and lock the director elements into a vertical position. As shown in Fig. 3
3. The main boom comes in two sections using the bracket supplied and the
holes drilled in the boom sections join these two sections as shown in Fig. 4.
4. Connect the dipole assembly to the main boom, insert the threaded bolt
through the front hole on the underside of the main boom and the locating
pin in the second hole on the underside of the main boom as shown in Fig. 5.
Screw the wing nut supplied to the threaded bolt on the dipole to hold it
firmly in position on the boom.
5. Slide the reflectors into the reflector bracket

lock into position as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. The reflectors can be fitted
either way round.
6. Attach the centre mount cradle bracket to the main boom in the position
shown in Fig. 5. using the centre bracket clamps supplied
7. Fit the mast clamp attached to the aerial centre bracket onto the mast.
Then slide the cradle through the mast clamp to find the most evenly
balanced position. Make sure the aerial is pointing in the direction of the
nearest TV transmitter then tighten the wing nuts until the aerial is securely
fixed into position, see Fig. 7.

You can also adjust the tilt angle of the aerial
to make sure it is horizontal by adjusting the
nuts shown in Fig. 7. Pointing the aerial slightly
upwards can reduce noise pick-up from traffic etc.
