VHF/UHF Booster

Grainy TV pictures clear up in an instant using our Booster!

High Performance

Beat (Stripes) or Wiper (Windshield Wipe Effect) interference will appear in the TV picture when a low-rated-output-level booster is used in strong signal areas. (Please see photos on page 3.)

The model allows a maximum output level of 107dBµV (VHF)/104dBµV (UHF), so interference is reduced even where reception level is strong.

Sufficient Output Level

Easy Handling Function

Safety Precautions

The lid of the Booster Case can be closed snugly with the attached screw.

The input mode of the Booster allows you to select either VHF/UHF Mixed or Separated on the Input Mode Selector. A VHF/UHF compatible TV antenna with mixer is used, and the connection with the Booster is made simply with a single cable.

Use only 230V AC power supply. Using the Booster with a different voltage power supply could cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not put the Booster and the Power Supply in a poorly ventilated place. The Booster Power Supply will overheat and may cause fire. Do not use in the following ways....· Pushing the Booster into a poorly ventilated

place such as closet, bookcase or just under a ceiling.

· Covering with a table cloth. Placing on a carpet or bedding.

· Covering or wrapping with a cloth or bedding.

When you hear thunder, don't touch any lead-in cable from the TV antenna. It may cause electrical shock.

Use the Booster and Power Supply as one set. Using with other brands’ product may cause fire.

Never let water come into contact with the Booster and the Power Supply. Do not use them in the bathroom and do not put medi-cine or anything containing liquid on them. If water or medicine get into them, they will cause fire or electrical shock. Do not let your pets climb on them. If their urine or drop-pings get into them, they will also cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not plug or unplug the Power Supply with wet hands. It may cause electrical shock.

Set the Power Supply at the place where you can easily unplug it.

When the Booster is not in use for a long time, be sure to unplug the Power Supply from the wall outlet for safety. Not doing so may cause fire.

Adjust TV antenna’s direction until the best possible TV picture is obtained.

When the VHF/UHF input levels are more than 67dBµV in each band, connect an attenuator (ATT6, 10, 15, 20KFD, sold separately) to the input ports to avoid such troubles shown right.

Wiring of the Booster's Input and Output cables should be made correctly according to the instructions described in this operating manual.

Do not tie up cables connecting input and output ports of the Booster, and also don’t wind the cables over the Booster case.

Be sure to use 75 Coaxial cable for all ports of the Booster. When the Booster is installed on the TV antenna mast, it must be placed apart 1 meter or more from VHF

and UHF antennas.

Improper use of the Booster might make a cause of trouble not only your own house’s TV, but also your nearby homes’ TV pictures.
