3 Get started
To ensure the antenna to work properly, read
the user manual of your television before you
start. Set the television so that it receives the
signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or
SATELLITE.
Installation
2 Connect the DC plug to the antenna and
the power supply to a 120V AC outlet.
Determine the signal strength
Before Installation, determine the best
location for optimum reception. It is impor tant
for the antenna to have an unobstructed path
to the transmitter. For best results, ensure the
antenna faces the location of the transmitter.
Note
Choose a location near a window which gives the •
antenna a clear view of the transmitter.
Note
Place the antenna away from the metal surface to •
avoid interference.
Connect to the TV
1 Connect the other end of the built-in
coaxial cable to the input on the TV
receiver.
3 Turn the power switch on.

setup of the tuner. Ensure the antenna has
set up properly before the tuner can receive
viewable channels.
There are two ways to connect the antenna
to the TV:
Connect the antenna to a digital tuner. •
If the signal strength is good enough, the
channels can be memorized in the tuner
automatically .
Connect the antenna directly to the TV. •
Tune to the analogue channels and nd
the best antenna location. Then reconnect the antenna to the digital tuner.
Ensure the signal strength is good enough
before you install the channels with the
tuner.

7 Glossary
A
Amplier
A device, either a single stage or a large scale
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain,
i.e. it makes small signals larger.
Antenna
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a
transmitted RF signal.
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems
Committee)
The Advanced Television Systems Committee,
Inc., is an international, non-prot organization
developing voluntary standards for digital
television. The high denition television
standards dened by the ATSC produce wide
screen 16:9 images up to 1920x1080 pixels
in size -- more than six times the display
resolution of the earlier standard. However,
many different image sizes are also supported,
so that up to six standard-denition “virtual
channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz
TV channel.
C
Coaxial
A single copper conductor, surrounded with
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding
copper shield and nally, an insulating jacket.
An unbalanced transmission line with constant
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly
used for low level, line signals terminated in
RCA connectors.
