ANTENNAS DIRECT Clearstream Horizon Amplified Instruction Manual

ANTENNAS DIRECT Clearstream Horizon Amplified

READ BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Before attaching the antenna to any surface, TEST RECEPTION in that area. Connect the antenna to the 1V or converter box and run a full channel scan. If reception is not as desired, move the antenna and rescan for the available channels.

The ClearStream HORIZON comes with

1. ClearStream HORIZON Antenna with 10 ft. Coaxial Cable (attached)
2. Kickstand
3. 2-Wall Screws and Anchors
4. Jolt Switch 18dB In-Line Amplifier with Coaxial Cable and 6 ft. USB Cable

SET UP THE ANTENNA

The HORIZON antenna has a low profile and can be installed on a wall using the screws and anchors, or on a tabletop using the kickstand.

The Jolt Switch gives you control in real-time when managing your TV signals. The simple ON/OFF switch allows you to bypass amplification when a TV channel doesn’t need it. The amplifier arrives in the ON position, increasing TV signals for a clearer picture and sound. When the switch is OFF, easily bypass the amplifier while signals are still being filtered from cellular and FM interference.

Certain TV signals may be strong enough that an amplifier is not necessary.
If a channel is distorted or pixilated when the amplifier is ON, it may be over-amplified. Toggle the switch to the OFF position. You do not need to rescan your TV for channels unless you reposition or reconnect your antenna.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: I’m not getting any signals at all.

Possible causes:

1. Analog-only televisions (manufactured before 2007) require a digital converter box. You MUST perform a channel scan on the converter box.

2. SCANNING FOR CHANNELS: A digital 1V must be programmed in order to receive digital channels. Once your antenna is installed, you must complete a channel scan, even if you have done so before installing to find the best location for the antenna.

   • YourlV must be set to the proper input source. Press the “Input” (or “Source” ) button on your remote and make sure the input is set to TV.
   • Follow the instructions specific to the make and model of your television or converter box to set the signal type to “ANTENNA’: “AIR’: or “BROADCAST”, not “cable’.
   • Go to the main menu of yourself or the converter box and complete a channel scan. This could be listed as “Auto Program’: “Auto Tuning’: or “Auto Channel Scan”. Consult the owner’s manual for your specific device and more precise guidelines. Be ready to experiment with various locations in your home. Remember to rescan for channels in every location.

3. Make sure the antenna is facing the broadcast tower locations serving your area. Visit www.antennapointcom for more information on broadcasters and tower locations serving your area, or download the free Antenna Point app to your Android/iOS smartphone or tablet.

4. You do not have a clear line of sight to your local broadcast towers. You might need to elevate and/or move your antenna. Remember to rescan for channels in every location.

5. You are outside the range of your antenna’s capabilities.
   Depending upon the distance between your home and the local broadcast towers, you may need a long-range outdoor/attic antenna. Antennas Direct offers many models for this purpose.

6. You may have loose coaxial cable connections.
   Check ALL connections for a tight fit.

7. Building materials such as brick, metal siding, radiant barrier, or stucco can greatly reduce the incoming signal. Do not place antennas on metallic surfaces, this interferes with 1V signal reception. Move your antenna to a window or wall facing the broadcast towers and rescan for available channels.

Problem: I’m receiving every channel except for one.

Possible cause:
You may need to rescan the TV tuner or converter box.
The channel you are not receiving may have its transmitter lower on the broadcast tower than the other transmitters and your line of sight is obstructed. Try elevating the antenna or moving it to another location. Repeat as needed.

Problem:
I’m having signal breakups, but I’m only two miles from the broadcast tower.

Possible cause:

Your TV may be receiving interfering signals.
A larger/stronger antenna will not necessarily solve this problem. Consider moving the antenna, making sure it is not placed near metal objects or other antennas.
