Congratulations on the purchase of your wideband aerial which is designed to receive both analogue and digital terrestrial signals.
This aerial has been manufactured to the standard required to get the best reception of digital terrestrial TV services (such as Freeview™). If the
aerial is to be used for DTT reception check before installation at www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/coverage.html to confi rm that your home is in a coverage

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 specifi c requirements of your installation. The quality of the coaxial cable used is as important as
the quality of the aerial and you should make sure that if it is not specifi cally marked as suitable for digital TV it is of the same
quality as that used for digital satellite installations.
