3 Getting Started

Before you start: For this antenna to work properly, you must access the menu on the television you are connecting this antenna to (consult your television owner's manual) then set it to receive the signal from an ANTENNA or OFF AIR instead of CABLE or SATELLITE.

3.1 Installation

Determining Signal Strength

Before installation determine the best location for optimum reception. It is important for the antenna to have an unobstructed path to the transmitter. For best results, the antenna should be facing towards transmitter.

Tip

Where possible, choose a location near a window which will give the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Tip

Do not place the antenna on a metal surface.

3.2 Connect to your TV

1 Open the antenna and connect the coaxial cable to the input on your TV receiver. ①
2 Open the supporting plate on the back of the antenna (maximum angle of opening is 120 degrees) in order to make the antenna stand straight. ②

4 Using your indoor television antenna

4.1 For VHF/FM reception

1 Extend the telescoping dipoles to the longest possible length. ③
2 Turn your TV or FM radio to the desired channel/station. Adjust the dipoles by moving in different directions up and down, until reception is achieved. ④

4.2 For UHF reception

1 Turn your TV to the desired channel.
2 Point the UHF reflector towards the transmitter until reception is achieved. ⑤

Note

For best results you should point your antenna in the direction of the transmitter.

4.3 Setting up a digital tuner with this antenna

Digital TV tuners require you to program the tuner with the available channels in your area. Generally this automatic process is part of the set-up of the tuner. However, if you do not have the antenna set up properly you may find that the tuner receives no viewable channels.

If you have access to a rooftop antenna or another antenna which is currently connected to a digital tuner you may use the antenna to program the tuner. The channels will be memorized in the tuner - which will make aligning this antenna easier.

Another method is to connect the antenna directly to your TV (not using the tuner) and tune to analog channels to find best location of the antenna, then re-connect the digital tuner – if you have adequate signal level you should be able to program the tuner.
