Aerial Grid Jetta

Install the antenna according to the manual included and tighten every bolt and nut.

The dipoles usually fall down after some time so during installation, use gum or super glue to fasten them. The dipoles are the “smaller antennas”  that point outwards. They are usually  four in number and are made of plastic with 3 aluminium wires of different lengths through the plastic. The dipoles are shown below jeta-dipoles

It’s  not a must you use the built in amplifier that is located on the aerial. Connect your coaxial cable to the two main terminals (which are the aluminium wires that enter the junction box) and fasten them. If you dont use the amplifier,  the you also wont need the power supply.

Do not use the provided thin white coaxial cable. Instead buy your own jacobs or astel coaxial cable and connect it securely without a joint from antenna to TV or decoder.

If your reception is still yielding low signal qualities,  then use the provided inbuilt amplifier. Connect it to the intended  terminals on the inbuilt amplifier inside the  junction box. Seal this junction box using gum or silicon. Now connect the power supply too and plug it in.

Some other additional tricks include using F connectors, a metallic pole (aluminum is the best because it doesn’t rust) and running the coaxial cable some centimetres away from the pole.

Lastly here is the comment by Bernard Baraza that inspired this post. It appears in the article on digital TV reception.
