Locating Your HDTVlp
Your HDTVlp is a precision instrument and should be placed in a location
that is best for receiving TV signals.
Your HDTVlp can be placed on top of any TV for ease of adjustment.
Operating the HDTVlp
Positioning the HDTVlp properly will give you optimal digital television
(DTV) reception, especially in areas of high multipath. In such areas, an
antenna reposition of a few inches could mean the difference between an
excellent DTV stream or a loss of picture.
First you should point the antenna towards a window.
If this fails to give you a solid picture, slowly rotate the antenna 360
degrees until you receive a picture - the HDTVlp antenna was designed to
pick up reflected signals from interior walls. Keep in mind that the best
reflected signal may be behind the antenna.
NOTE: It is best to utilize the Signal Strength Meter of your set-top box
or HDTV television with built in tuner to optimize the position of the
HDTVlp antenna.
You can use the following Web tool to find where the broadcast towers
are located:
1. Go to www. terk.com and click the “Antenna Locator.”
2. Enter your home’s address and then “Submit.”
3. Click “View Street Level Map” to see which direction you should point
your antenna.
Please Note:
1. Do not place your HDTVlp near large metal objects or appliances that
could create interference.
2. Do not lift your HDTVlp by its receiving elements or
place objects on them.
3. Late model televisions have on-screen menu controls for viewing
VHF/UHF “Off-Air” or cable broadcasts. Please ensure that this menu
control is at the proper “Off-Air” position.
HDTVlp
No picture, or the tuner is displaying “no signal.”
1. Make sure that the HDTVlp is connected to the correct “antenna in”
input on the set-top box or TV.
2. Rotate the antenna around the room to find the best reflacted signal,
keep in mind that the best reflected signal may be behind the antenna.
(See page 5 for directions on how to use the web to locate the broadcast
tower location. Rotate the antenna base up to 360º until you receive the
best signal possible).
3. For houses with aluminum siding/insulation or stucco, place the antenna
near a window to minimize interference.
