Connecting the antenna to your TV

Once you???ve found the best place for your antenna, connect it to your TV.

1.Connect the coaxial cable included to the antenna???s coaxial cable jack.

2.Connect the antenna???s coaxial cable to your TV???s antenna input.

Note: If your TV???s antenna input is already connected to a satellite receiver, cable box, or digital converter, connect the ANT301F???s coaxial cable to the antenna input jack on that device.

3.Insert the power adapter into the antenna???s DC jack. Plug the other end into a wall outlet or power strip.

Important: This power unit is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or ???oor mount position.

Adjusting the antenna for best reception

Notes:

Different channels may require different antenna adjustments.

Make sure you???ve selected ???Off-air??? in your TV menu as your signal source instead of ???Cable??? when you???re using the antenna.

Note about digital channels

All RCA antennas are designed to receive both analog and digital signals. To display digital signals on your TV, you???ll need to have the right equipment: either a TV that is capable of decoding digital signals or a digital converter box.

Troubleshooting

I have a cable ready TV. Why am I not getting any channels above 13?

The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes. One mode is for cable and the other mode is for antenna. When the TV is in cable mode, and you are using an antenna, you will not be able to receive any channels above 13. To ???x this, simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV from Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode.

I have my TV in a metal cabinet. Will the antenna work for me?

Any large metal objects will prevent the antenna signal from reaching the antenna. You must place the antenna outside of or above the metal cabinet.

My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I place my antenna?

Place the antenna near a window to minimize interference and improve your reception.

Can I use my antenna in a basement?

TV signals usually cannot penetrate into basement locations due to their lower elevation.

Please Note: Other variables, which are not related to antenna performance, can effect your reception. These include distance from the source transmitting the desired station, and man-made and natural conditions. Example: Obstacles such as buildings between the transmitting source and your antenna.
