Product Description

This outdoor HDTV antenna is made to accept UHF/VHF digital TV signals and deliver high-definition HDTV images. You may enjoy high-definition television without the hefty expense of cable or satellite. Use the infrared remote control to rotate the device a complete 360 degrees thanks to a built-in rotor.

Layout

LUMINOSITY PROTECTION

Even in inclement weather, a coaxial grounding block protector device aids in consistent signal reception.

Snap-On Installation

A Pioneer In Modern Technology

Why perform our antennas better than those of the competition? The patented SNAP-ON design is the evidence. The 2608 series’ broad beam angle and ability to respond to a wider frequency range eliminate the requirement for rotation.

With this outdoor HDTV antenna, you may get digital TV UHF/VHF signals without having to pay for a cable subscription every year. Now you may watch a free 4K HDTV without having to pay a lot for cable or satellite. Also, we developed it to be motorized, allowing you to easily rotate the antenna 360 degrees using the infrared remote control.

Dimension

Assist Two Televisions

Allow the simultaneous use of two TVs without a splitter.

Check to see if your TV has an HDTV tuner; if not, we kindly recommend that you purchase a digital converter box.

WARM TIPS

• The antenna would function best with the original equipment.
• A switch or splitter between the antenna and the control box IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
• Only after the control box may the splitter be utilized!
• Please attach the provided cable directly to the control box (Power Supply). If the cable is too short, you may expand it with an F-F coupler (Splice Adapter).

Features

• Built-in High Gain and Low Noise Amplifier.
• The antenna rotates 360 degrees thanks to a built-in motor (Motor turns in both directions to avoid tangles)
• A Portable Remote Control with 59 feet of RG6 coaxial wire is included, as well as a built-in super high gain and low noise amplifier. You can put it anywhere in your home to get the best reception.
• An external weather-resistant 150-mile antenna is available. The antenna is lightning shielded, has a sturdy construction, and is grounded so you won’t be affected by inclement weather.

Please Note

1. To ensure that a flatscreen HDTV can receive and view HD channels, please check the TV’s manual to see whether it includes a built-in tuner for receiving over-the-air broadcasts. Moreover, make sure that this tuner can receive HD signals.
2. Retune your TV and/or digital box sometimes to make sure you’re getting all the services that are offered. With the remote control, adjusting takes only a little while.
3. The intensity of the antenna signal might change based on the topography, weather, and distance from the tower. If necessary, move the antenna to a new place. The antenna should avoid obstacles and be in direct line of sight with the TV tower(s). When repositioning the antenna, always re-scan the channels.
4. An ATSC digital converter box can be added to your TV if it doesn’t already have one to get the HD feed.

The following are acceptable central building ground points:

• An inner metal cold water pipe that is grounded within 1.5 meters/ 5 feet of where it enters the building service raceway made of grounded metal
• Grounded enclosure for electrical equipment in service
• 8-foot/2.4-meter grounding rod pushed into the ground (but only when #6 or stronger bonding wire is used to connect it to the central building ground)
• Additional suitable electrodes that abide by the National Electrical Code’s (NEC’s) sections 250 and 810

Your antenna system has to be properly grounded in order to safeguard your home and your TV installation. (Includes Coaxial Grounding Block)

1. Attach a grounding wire sized #10 copper or #8 aluminum to the antenna mast’s base. Run the wire in a straight path as you can down the building, using stand-offs every 1.2 to 1.8 meters (four to six feet).
2. The lead-in cable for the antenna should be connected to a 300-Ohm static discharge device (lightning arrestor) or a 75-Ohm grounding block as closely as feasible to the location where the wire enters the home.
3. Connect the grounding wire to the grounding unit on the lead-in cable, then route the wire to the main building ground.

FAQs

How many channels can I receive?****

You can receive up to 69 channels.

Is it possible to use this antenna for cable TV?****

Yes, you can use it for cable TV.

What is the length of the coaxial cable?****

The coaxial cable is 59 feet in length.

What is the size of this product?****

The size of this product is 17.8 x 13.35 x 3.7 inches.

Can I install this antenna on my roof?****

Yes, you can install it on your roof.

Where is the best place to put an outdoor TV antenna?****

More always means higher. For best results, mount the antenna in the attic or on your roof. These areas are more likely to have fewer obstructions that interfere with the signal between the antenna and broadcast towers. Turn the antenna’s front towards the broadcast towers.

How far can an outdoor antenna reach?****

An outdoor antenna’s range is around 60 to 80 miles, but inside antennas can only pick up channels from broadcast stations within a 20 to 30-mile radius.

Do I need an outdoor antenna for digital TV?****

You’ll probably need an outside or boosted antenna if you live far from a TV station. Antennas are typically classed by range. Signals from 50 miles away can be received via a 50-mile antenna. Some long-range antennas have a 125-mile signal reception range.

Do Amplified HDTV antennas work?****

In the end, a signal that isn’t already reaching your antenna won’t be picked up by an amplifier. Nonetheless, it can strengthen the signal to go over a long cable run or get past a splitter to provide reception to many TVs.

What is the best height for an outdoor TV antenna?****

Higher is preferable: Ideal height is between 10 and 20 feet. Avoid obstacles like hills, trees, and high buildings since they might reduce signals before they reach your antenna. For optimum reception, even a multidirectional antenna must be able to be pointed at the TV signal’s source.

Are outdoor HD antennas better than indoor ones?****

The best performance is often provided by outdoor antennas, particularly those mounted on a roof or pole, especially if you are far from the closest broadcast towers. But, installing an indoor TV antenna is simpler, and for others, it’s the only realistic choice.

How many TVs can you run on an outdoor antenna?****

As long as the antenna has been carefully installed from the beginning to provide a reliable signal, the number of TV outlets that may be powered by one TV antenna is potentially limitless.
