Signal Finder Function

Press the ‘INFO’ button three times on the remote control.

This will bring up the Signal finder function

- This is to help you align your Aerial or check the Aerial.

On this screen you will get Signal Intensity bars , Signal Quality Bars,

Tuner Status etc,

Important: This only works correctly if the TR-43 Receiver has been

set up previously to work in your area

SIGNAL INTENSITY:

This is the strength of the Terrestrial signal being received

all Aerials will give a level of signal even if you are not

aligned to the transmitter correctly.

So this bar should be giving you some reading if connected to a Aerial

and or cable correctly.

If you have an empty signal intensity then you may have a

connection problem or a fault in your system

SIGNAL QUALITY:

Once you align onto the correct transmission tower your signal quality will

increase and the Signal Status will become ‘Locked’ / Coloured (Fig 7)

Now all you have to do is get the highest Signal Intensity and Quality

by peaking your Aerial - Then enjoy Digital TV.

Note: Depending on the quality and strength of the signal you get from

the Transmission Tower in your area it may be necessary to upgrade to a

Digital Quality Yagi Aerial or add a Masthead Amplifier to get good

quality signal.

Aerial aligned and working correctly

Aerial not connected or not Set up Correctly

DO NOT POWER THE TR-43 UNTIL All

CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE

Making connections after powering can cause electrical

damage to the TR-43 or your Television

This will not be covered under warranty
