STATUS 315 OMNI-DIRECTIONAL
TELEVISION & FM RADIO ANTENNA
USAGE GUIDELINES
1. Weak TV Signal
This produces a ‘Snowy’ picture which can
be caused if you are too far away from the
TVtransmitter,suchasinaremotearea,
positioned in a valley, or if there is a building,
hill or other obstruction blocking the signal.
EachTVtransmitterhasadenedservicearea
wherereceptionwillbegood.Beyondthat
boundaryisa‘fringe’areawheretheTVsignal
will be weaker and the reception quality poorer.
Remedy
Firstly determine whether you are in a poor
reception area. Secondly check the points
covered in Fault Finding.
2. TV Signal too strong
This can produce severe picture distortion like
a zig-zag style pattern. This can be caused
when you are too close to a transmitter or
picking up strong radio transmissions from
anothersourcesuchasCBradio.Also
electrical interference can cause similar effects
(see Interference 4).
Remedy
Turn the gain control switch on the Power
Pack to ‘La’. Secondly check the points
covered in Fault Finding.
3. Ghosting
ThisiswhentheTVsignalisreectedfrom
something in your locality. The ‘something’ may
be a local building or landmark. Your antenna
is receiving both the direct signal and the
reectedsignalfromthesametransmitter.
Remedy
Try to move to a better position away from the
obstruction. Unfortunately it may not always be
possible to isolate Omni-Directional antennas
from the cause of the problem.
4. Electrical Interference
This type of interference is commonly caused
by electrical appliances, such as fans, electric
shavers,uorescentlights.
Other forms of interference can produce
a zig-zag pattern similar to that described
in Interference 2 which may be caused by
inverters, charging units etc.
Remedy
Check the points covered in Fault Finding.
In some instances, this type of interference
can be overcome by switching off the
relevant appliances.
