CUSTOMIZE YOUR FRAME

With easy-to-use slide-locks, you can add or change your photos in a snap! Pull each slide-lock to remove the back panel. Add your photos, then replace the back panel and push the slide-locks back into place. Do not modify, tear, or remove the covering of the back panel, as this may cause damage to the antenna and interfere with broadcast TV reception.

Use the keyhole on the back panel of the frame to hang on a wall or flat, vertical surface.

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 TV 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.
   • a) Your TV 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.
   • b) 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”.
   • c) Go to the main menu of your TV or 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.antennapoint.com 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. Move your antenna to a window or wall facing the broadcast towers and rescan for the available channels.

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

1. 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 causes:

1. 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. If this is not successful, your signal may be too strong and may require the use of an attenuator. Call our helpline or chat with us online at antennasdirect.com for an analysis of your area and installation. We may be able to offer simple solutions.
2. In some areas, broadcast signals are strong enough that an amplifier is not necessary. If you have completed the installation of the antenna with the In-Line Amplifier and reception is not as desired, remove the In-Line Amplifier and connect the antenna directly to the TV using the coaxial cable. Remember to scan for channels every time you reposition or reconnect your antenna.
