  1. Connect the power inserter’s coaxial connection to the coaxial jack on
    your TV, digital converter box, or set-top box.

  2.  Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet, then plug the other end into
    the power inserter.
    Note: Use only the supplied power adapter. For the antenna to properly
    function, the power inserter must be installed and powered on.

  3. Turn on your TV, then press input or source to select the input your
    antenna is connected to.
    Note: Turn on your digital converter box or set-top box if your antenna is
    connected to either device.

  4. Open your TV’s setup menu, then select the “scan” or “channel scan”
    option. Your TV automatically searches for available channels in your
    area. See your TV’s user guide for detailed instructions.
    Note: If you don’t receive channels that you want, try moving your antenna to
    another location, then run the channel scan again.

Connecting the antenna directly to your TV

  • Connect the coaxial cable to the coaxial jack on the back of your TV.
    Note: If you have an HDTV with a digital TV (ATSC) tuner, you can connect the
    antenna directly to the HDTV. Older TVs may require a separate digital TV tuner
    or digital converter box.

TIPS FOR BETTER RECEPTION
For the best reception:

  • Install the antenna as high as possible to avoid possible obstacles
    between the antenna and the transmission tower.

  • If possible, place the antenna near windows.

  • Keep the antenna away from sources of interference such as air
    conditioners, hair dryers, and microwave ovens.

  • Run a channel scan (from your TV’s setup menu) every time you move
    your antenna.

  • If possible, position your antenna toward the transmission tower. To
    determine which channels are available in your area, visit
    www.antennaweb.org. Type in your zip code to get help with antenna
    placement.

  • Test the antenna in multiple locations to find the strongest signal.

  • Run a channel scan monthly to make sure that you are receiving all
    possible channels.

  • Some TVs have a signal strength indicator that can help with antenna
    placement. Check your TV manual to see if your TV has this feature.

  • This antenna works with any TV or device with an ATSC tuner. See your
    device’s manual to check compatibility.
