INTRODUCTION
Your Digital TV Signal Meter helps you align your aerial for the best digital reception
with the minimum of fuss. The meter connects directly to your aerial and the
LEDs indicate the signal strength. The five green LEDs; indicate signal power
values; 50dBµV, 60dBµV, 70dBµV, 80dBµV, allowing you to visualise your TV signal
strength in order to tune your TV’s antenna.
POWER SOURCE
In order to supply power to your Digital TV Signal Meter, you have to open the door
of the battery carrier at the rear of your Digital TV Signal Meter and fit a 9V Size
battery then replace the battery carrier door and close it. (Battery is supplied.
Alternatively, you can also power the unit with a 5-12V DC adaptor fitted with a 3.5
mm jack plug- not supplied).
TESTING FOR SIGNAL
1. Turn on the power switch on the right hand side of the digital TV Signal Meter;
the red power indicator will light.
2. Point your aerial in the same direction as any visible neighbouring aerials
and then turn slowly in a horizontal arc. Continue turning in the same
direction until you find the direction in which the maximum number of LED’s
are lit. If there is more than one direction with the same maximum LED count,
select the one that covers the widest arc.
3. Finally, position your aerial at the estimated mid-point of the range in which
the maximum numbers of LEDs are lit.
