BEST PERFORMANCE: Attic/Outdoor placement

The following instructions are recommended for the best

reception:

1. Using your mobile phone as a signal meter, con rm

that either your attic or your roof will deliver optimal

signal strength to the Signal Aerial. Identify the best

location for attachment of the mounting bracket –

such as an attic cross or main beam.

2. Secure the mounting bracket at the highest possible

point and at least 1 meter away from metal objects

such as pipes, metal siding, A/C unit etc.

3. Position the mounting bracket such that the Signal

Aerial will be vertical and attach the Signal Aerial (see

 gure 7).

4. Connect the supplied coaxial cable to the base of the Signal

Aerial.

5. Run the coaxial cable along a descending pipe or through a wall

that that leads closest to the location of the Base Unit.

NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.

6. From the other end, connect the coax cable it to the Base Unit.

7. Connect the Base Unit Aerial to the Base Unit and position it vertically.

8. Choose the appropriate power supply option for your location, connect the Power Supply to

the Base Unit and plug into a power outlet.

NOTE: If a red light appears, try further separating the Signal Aerial and Base Unit or see the Troubleshoot-

ing section (Page 12) for further information.

More on Routing the Coaxial Cable Along side an Attic Pipe

Locate a pipe that descends from the attic down to the desired

location of the Base Unit. Tie a weight to a pull string and lower the

weight down alongside the pipe. In the lower room, tie the pull-string
