If you have any problems setting up the
SLx link, please read the instructions again
carefully or see the common questions below:
•
I cannot view my terrestrial TV channels
on either of my televisions
Check that your terrestrial aerial is connected
to the Aerial IN/RF IN socket on the back of
your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver from your aerial
wall socket or via your VCR. The terrestrial
aerial signal will now be output from RF1 (to
your main television) and RF2 (to your second
television).
• The SLx red LED does not switch on and
my remote control is not working
The SLx link requires power from the Sky™/
Sky+™ receiver in order to power the remote
sensor. You can perform the following simple
exercise to nd where the SLx link voltage is
being lost.
1. Connect the SLx link directly into the RF2
socket on your Sky™/Sky+™ receiver. Does the
SLx Link LED light up?
YES - Sky™/Sky+™ box is OK, move to
next step
NO - your Sky™/Sky+™ box is not switched
on, or is no set up correctly (see step
three of installation instructions).
2. If you have an aerial amplier/splitter
between the Sky™/Sky+™ receiver and the
second TV, connect the SLx link directly into an
output socket on your amplier/splitter using a
short piece of coaxial cable with male to male
connections. Does the SLx Link LED light up?
YES - Aerial amplier/splitter is OK, move to
next step
NO - Your amplier/splitter is blocking the
SLx power signal. You will need to t a
digital amplier bypass kit (available
from your local electrical retailer).
3. If you have any wall plates tted in either
the main or second TV locations, connect
the SLx link directly into the wall plate in the
second TV location. Does the SLx Link LED
light up?
YES – Wall plates are OK, move onto next step
NO – One or more of your wall plates are
isolated and are blocking the SLx link
power signal. Replace with non-isolated
wall plates (available from your local
electrical retailer).
4. If the red LED still does not switch on after
performing the above excercise, it is likely that
there is a problem with the coaxial cabling or
connectors. Please check that all cables are free
from kinks, twists or tight bends and that all
Troubleshooting
coaxial connectors are tted correctly.
Once you have found the problem and
rectied as detailed above, reconnect the SLx
link in the second TV location as instructed in
step two of the installation instructions
•
The SLx link LED is on but my remote
control is not working
1. Fit an additional small length of coaxial
cable between the SLx link and your Sky™/
Sky+™ receiver to resolve a possible phasing
problem caused by the length of the cable
being used.
2. Check the batteries in your remote control.
3. Ensure there is a clear line of sight between
your remote and the SLx infrared eye.
