Getting Started
Key Considerations For Your Installation Site
- Be sure that installation is in accordance with all local, city and state electrical and building codes.
- Understand where broadcast towers are located in your area.
Visit www.antennapoint.com or www.antennaweb.org and enter your zip code to identify the channels you can expect to receive.
Make sure the distance between your location
and TV transmitter tower is within 80 miles, and set up your antenna as high
as possible in the direction of the TV tower for better reception. You can
search for available channels in your area by visiting
dtv.gov/maps or
www.tvfool.com.
Step 1: Connect Your Antenna to Your TV
Plug the barrel end of the power supply into the DC input on the antenna, and
the AC end into an electrical outlet.
If your TV has a digital tuner:
Simply connect the antenna’s coaxial output cable directly to your TV’s
antenna input port.
If your TV does not have a digital tuner:
Connect the antenna’s coaxial output cable to your digital converter box, and
then connect your converter box output cable to your TV. 
Step 2: Check the LED Signal Indicator
The built-in LED signal indicator assists in locating the best channel reception. The LED lights indicate ideal signal strength.
Step 3: Scan for Channels
To perform a TV channel scan:
-
Set the tuner mode to “Antenna” or “Air” on your TV’s setup menu.
-
Set your TV to scan for channels. This may be listed as auto-program, auto-scan, channel search or channel scan.
-
Move and rotate your antenna, and note which locations receive the most channels and best channel reception.
Note: Running a channel scan is not the same as pressing Channel UP/DOWN on your remote. -
Refer to your TV’s user manual for further details.
Note: You must re-scan for channels
anytime you move or reposition your antenna.
Step 4: Place Your Antenna
Once you have found the optimal location for your antenna, you may choose
-
Tabletop Placement
Place your antenna on a console, table or near your TV. -
Wall Mounted
Use the included 2/16’’ x 1’’ screws and plastic anchors to mount your antenna to the wall.
Troubleshooting
I am not getting any channels, or channels are missing.
Keep your antenna away from sources of interference, including air
conditioners, hair dryers and microwave ovens.
Move or rotate your antenna and re-run a channel scan on your TV. Refer to
your TV’s user manual for more information.
Picture or sound freezes while I am watching a channel. Picture quality is
weak.
This is often caused by a weak or intermittent signal. Try moving or rotating
your antenna to a different location or angle.
When do I need to run a channel scan?
Run a channel scan after setting up or adjusting your antenna.
Visit www.antennaweb.org/address to
calculate the strength of each station. You may then run a channel scan on an
as-needed basis.
How do I know where the signal is strongest?
Test your antenna in different locations or at different angles, making sure
to run a channel scan every time you move your antenna.
Sometimes moving a few feet can make a difference. The fewer obstructions
between the antenna and the tower, and the higher the antenna is mounted, the
better the chance of receiving a strong signal.
Some HDTVs have a signal strength indicator that shows how strong your signal
is. Refer to your TV’s user manual for more information.
Where should I place my antenna?
The antenna is designed for indoor use. We recommend placing your antenna on a
flat surface or mounting it on a wall near a window.
Does my antenna work with any HDTV?
Your antenna works with any HDTV or device that has an ATSC tuner. Any TV
manufactured after March 1, 2007 is required by US government to have an ATSC
tuner. If your TV menu has an option to scan for digital channels, your TV has
an ATSC tuner.
How many channels will I receive with my antenna?
The number of channels will vary from location to location. Generally, if you
live in or near a metropolitan area, you will receive more channels than if
you live outside a metropolitan area. Keep in mind that antenna reception may
vary based on terrain (including trees, buildings, hills and mountains). The
fewer the obstructions, the better your chance of receiving strong digital
signals.
How do I confirm that my antenna is working properly?
Connect your antenna to the power supply. Make sure the indicator light is on.
Then, plug your antenna into your TV’s tuner, and make sure there are input
signals.
What should I do if my antenna indicator light is off?
If the light does not turn on, please check whether the connector is loose,
the plug is not fully inserted or if it is placed incorrectly.
Are all broadcasts now in High Definition?
Not all digital signals are in High Definition. Make sure your digital
receiver is an HD receiver, otherwise HD channels cannot be viewed.
