RATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS 1 THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE AND 2 THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION Installation requirements FCC classifies this product under part 15 of its rules as a television interface device Systems designed using television interface devices have the following legal requirements 1 The modulated channel signal strength may not exceed 15 56dBmV at any television Federal Regulation 47CFR15 115 b 1 i 2 If an antenna is used in the system the modulated channel signal strength may not exceed 51dBmV at the antenna input port Federal Regulation 47CFR15 115 c 4 For the Installer The system you design must comply with these regulations As the installer you are responsible The easiest way to be fully compliant is to use a ChannelPlus coax panel ChannelPlus panels have the necessary isolation from the modulator input ports to the antenna input port and gain characteristic from the modulator input ports to the television output ports These features will make your modulator comply with the above requirements 10 14 Protective Attachment Plug The product is equipped with an attachment plug having overload protection This is a safety feature See Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of protective device If replacement of the plug is required be sure the service technicia
3. RICAL CODE Things to watch for No picture Verify that the video source is on and is producing a video signal Check that the TV and the modulator are tuned to the same channel For example if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16 make sure the TV is on UHF 16 rather than CATV 16 UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies Weak ChannelIPlus UHF channel If the TV has a separate UHF input be sure that it is connected Herringbone interference on ChannelPlus channel diagonal lines You may have chosen a channel number that is not completely vacant Distant UHF stations may be un watchable but will cause interference if you try to try to create a new channel at the same frequency Also cable companies often have extra signals where there should be none Try moving the ChannelPlus channel to another number You may have to add alow pass filter to remove cable company noise Herringbone interference on many channels disappears when you remove the modulator The high output of the ChannelPlus modulator can overdrive many RF amplifiers Reduce the RF output using an attenuator ChannelPlus coax panels are designed to take the full output of these modulators Audio volume is low The left and right audio inputs are combined for monaural For proper audio level both right and left inputs must be used If you have a mono source connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA Y connector No c
