Introduction
The ultra compact Megaboost aerial with it's built-in
signal booster offers a quick and economic method of
providing good digital signals to your TV/set top box.
Suitable for outdoor or loft installation, it can be
mounted on a 1"-1½" mast or on to masonry/brickwork
or wood using the bracket, pole and fixings supplied.
This aerial is suitable for use in most areas of the UK, with
the exception of areas with very low or very high signal
strength.
General Safety
The risk of accidents can be greatly reduced by planning
before starting a project.
•
Before starting installation check structure is sound and
check for hidden wiring or plumbing.
•
When working on an installation outside, beware of over
head power lines.
•
Observe safe working practices, tread carefully on roofs
and ensure adequate lighting is available if working in
loft or roof space.
•
Before making any connections switch electricity off at
the mains.
•
Always follow manufacturer's operating and safety
instructions before using tools and/or equipment.
Selecting mounting position
Select a mounting position for the aerial. The position
should be as high as possible and chosen to give a clear
'view' towards the transmitter. Avoid alignments through
trees and or other buildings if possible.

considerably and is only recommended for strong
signal areas. Digital reception with a loft aerial may be
affected by electrical interference from mains wiring.
