FAQs
What is the purpose of this filter?
It is designed to eliminate interference from 4G and 5G mobile signals, improving the quality of your TV, satellite, and radio signals.
Is this filter compatible with all TVs and radios?
It is compatible with most TVs, satellite receivers, and DAB/FM radios that use an F-Type connector.
Does this filter boost my signal strength?
No, it filters out interference, it does not amplify the signal. A masthead amplifier may be used with this filter.
How do I install the filter?
Simply screw the filter inline between your antenna cable and your TV or receiver.
What happens if I install the filter incorrectly?
You may experience no signal or a reduced signal. Ensure the filter is installed in the correct direction (between the signal source and the TV/receiver) and that the connections are secure.
Will this filter solve all my reception problems?
No, it only addresses interference from 4G and 5G signals. Other factors like antenna positioning, cable quality, and other sources of interference may still affect your signal.
Does the filter affect the signal strength?
Yes, there is an insertion loss of 4dB. This means that the signal strength may be slightly reduced, but this is usually unnoticeable.
Can I use this filter with a masthead amplifier?
Yes, the filter allows DC pass, so it's compatible with masthead amplifiers.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor signal after installation.
Check the connections to ensure they are secure. Verify that the filter is installed correctly and that the cable is properly connected. Try bypassing the filter to see if the signal improves. If it does, there may be an issue with the filter or the signal source.
Still experiencing interference.
The filter only addresses 4G and 5G interference. Check for other potential sources of interference, such as faulty cables or nearby electronic devices. Ensure your antenna is correctly positioned and in good condition.
