FAQs

What is LTE filtering?

LTE filtering is a feature that removes or significantly reduces interference caused by 4G mobile phone signals, which can disrupt digital TV reception.

Can this amplifier be used for satellite TV?

No, this masthead amplifier is designed specifically for terrestrial digital TV (DAB/DTT) signals, not satellite signals.

How do I adjust the gain?

The gain adjustment is typically a dial or screw on the amplifier itself. Consult the product manual for the exact location and procedure for your specific WFAV 225 model.

Do I need a power supply for this amplifier?

Yes, this masthead amplifier requires a power supply to operate. The kit includes a power supply unit.

How many TVs can I connect to this amplifier?

The WFAV 225 is a 2-way amplifier, meaning it has two outputs and can distribute the amplified signal to two television points.

Is the housing weatherproof?

Yes, the amplifier comes with a weatherproof and fully screened housing to protect it from outdoor elements and ensure durability.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality after installation.

Verify all cable connections are secure. Ensure the antenna is correctly aligned. Check that the power supply is connected and functioning. Try adjusting the gain setting.

Interference on certain channels.

Confirm LTE filtering is active and functioning. Ensure the amplifier housing is properly closed and screened. Check for other potential sources of local interference.

Amplifier not powering on.

Check the power supply connection at both the mains socket and the amplifier. Try a different power outlet. Ensure the power supply itself is not damaged.

Reduced signal on one of the outputs.

Inspect the coaxial cable for the affected output for damage or kinks. Ensure the 2-way splitter within the amplifier is not faulty.
