Setting Up the Antenna

Find the best location for the antenna

Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your home for optimum reception. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see where your local broadcasts are coming from. Then, try as much as possible to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your antenna.

Because of its ampli???cation and multi-directional capabilities, the antenna receives UHF, VHF, and local high-de???nition broadcasts, providing quality reception from most locations.

Note: The antenna may work well sitting on your TV or other components. However, because electronic components can sometimes interfere with the antenna???s reception, you might notice an effect on the antenna???s performance. Likewise, placing the antenna on

a metal surface may interfere with reception. If the antenna isn???t performing as well as expected, try moving it away from the component or placing it on another surface. Then, re-scan for channels on your TV or converter box.

Positioning the Antenna

After locating the optimal position for your antenna, choose from one of three options:

???Lay the antenna ???at The antenna has raised feet on its bottom to prevent scratching of furniture. Make sure you place the antenna on a ???at, level surface.

Note: This is the position that usually gives optimal performance.

???Hang the antenna The back of the antenna antenna has two mounting holes that can be used for hanging. Place both holes over screws inserted in your wall.

???Stand the antenna upright The antenna comes with a removable stand. Simply place the antenna in the stand to prop the antenna in an upright position.

Connecting the Antenna

You can use the antenna with or without its ampli???er, depending on which connection gives you the best signal. Try using the ampli???er ???rst. If you notice that you???ve lost channels that you normally receive, try connecting without the ampli???er.

You can connect the antenna directly to your TV or use it with a converter box.
