Product Usage Instructions
Installation Safety Warnings:
- Do not leave the power injector resting on a carpet.
- The power supply and injector are not waterproof and should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water.
- Objects containing liquids should not be placed on or near the power supply or injector.

What you may need:
If in any doubt about installation, refer to a professional aerial installer.
Use high-quality low-loss digital coaxial cable.
Plan your cable run to be as short as possible and avoid sharp bends in the
cable. Keep the cable run clear of mains wiring. When drilling through walls,
use a 7mm drill bit and be careful to avoid pipes and other cables.
Wiring your Aerial Downlead:
- Thread the cable through the weather boot.
- Fold the braid back over the outer sheath and screw the F plug onto the cable. Trim inner wire, leaving 2mm exposed.
Installation:
- The power supply unit provides 9VDC power to the aerial’s amplifier. Choose a location close to your TV/PVR, so that a flylead will reach the ANT IN aerial socket and within approximately 80cms of a mains socket.
- Fix the power supply to a wall, skirting board, or similar solid surface in the chosen location.
- Search for channels following the manufacturer’s instructions for your TV or set-top box.
