Key Features:
- 3-output distribution amplifier for multiple TV connections.
- Adjustable gain, with a maximum gain of 16 dB on two outputs and 12 dB on one output.
- Manual gain control, protected by a folding cover for easy access and protection.
- Amplifies Low VHF, High VHF, and UHF signals.
- Low-impact visual design and limited size for discreet installation.
Setup
- Choose a Location: Select a dry, indoor location near your antenna's main coaxial cable entry point and a power outlet. The amplifier is designed for wall mounting.
- Connect Antenna Input: Connect the coaxial cable coming from your antenna to the input port on the amplifier. This port is typically labeled 'IN' or 'ANT'.
- Connect TV Outputs: Connect coaxial cables from the amplifier's output ports to your televisions or other receiving devices. Note that two outputs provide 16 dB gain, and one provides 12 dB gain. Connect the TV closest to the amplifier to the 12 dB output if possible.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the amplifier's power input and then into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator light should illuminate.
- Adjust Gain (Optional): If your signal is too strong (causing pixelation or signal loss), carefully open the protective cover and use a small screwdriver to adjust the gain control knob. Turn it counter-clockwise to reduce gain. Adjust incrementally until optimal signal quality is achieved.
Operating
Once properly installed and powered, the Televes LTE-Filtering Distribution Indoor Amplifier operates automatically. It continuously amplifies and distributes the television signal to all connected devices. The primary operational adjustment is the gain control, which should be set during initial setup to optimize signal strength for your specific environment. No further user interaction is typically required for daily operation.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the amplifier. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Environment: Ensure the amplifier remains in a dry, indoor environment, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust.
- Connections: Periodically check all coaxial and power connections to ensure they are secure.
- Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel for any repairs.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power indicator light | No power to the unit. | Check power cord connection to amplifier and wall outlet. Ensure outlet is functional. |
| No signal or poor signal on TV | Incorrect connections; Antenna issue; Over-amplification; Faulty cable. | Verify all coaxial connections are tight. Check antenna for proper alignment. Adjust gain control to reduce signal if over-amplified. Test cables for damage. |
| Pixelation or intermittent signal | Signal too strong (over-amplification); Interference; Loose connections. | Reduce gain using the adjustment knob. Ensure LTE filter is effective. Check all connections. |
| Only some TVs receive signal | Faulty output port; Cable issue to specific TV. | Swap cables between output ports to isolate the issue. Check the cable running to the affected TV. |
