Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the aerial input port on your TV or receiver (usually labeled 'Antenna In', 'RF In', or 'Coaxial').
- Identify the aerial output port on your source device (e.g., Freeview box, set-top box).
- Connect one end of the Loops aerial cable to the output port of your source device.
- Connect the other end of the cable to the aerial input port of your TV or receiver.
- Ensure both connections are secure by gently pushing the connector in until it feels snug. The screw-on collar, if present, can be tightened slightly for a more robust connection.
Compatibility:
These coaxial aerial cables are compatible with any standard TV, set-top box, aerial amplifier, or other terrestrial digital TV equipment that uses a standard coaxial RF connector (typically an F-type connector or a push-on Belling-Lee connector, depending on the specific device port).
Care:
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors and shielding.
- Keep the cable away from sources of heat or moisture.
- Periodically check the connectors for dust or debris and clean gently with a dry cloth if necessary.
- The durable PVC jacket offers protection, but avoid exposing the cable to abrasive surfaces or sharp objects.
