country, it is possible that you will need an adaptor or converter in order to
use this device in your destination. Before making a purchase, you should make
sure everything is compatible.
Please Take This Into Consideration!
- A Set Top Box is required in order to bring in HDTV signals if your television does not have a tuner built into it.
- If the signal quality is not satisfactory or if there are just a few channels accessible, you can either connect or remove the amplifier.
- Place the indoor antenna in a different location inside the building. Always rescan the signal whenever you move. It is recommended that you position it in closer proximity to a window.
- Maintain a safe distance between the TV antenna and potential sources of interference. Additionally, maintain a safe distance between the TV antenna and large power consumers, such as an air conditioner, elevator, hair dryer, microwave oven, etc. The effective range of a signal will be decreased when passing through regions with substantial barriers such as valleys, mountains, and so on. After moving the antenna, you should always rescan for available channels.
