• Quick Start
1 Install your antenna
1. Connect the
supplied 75-ohm
coaxial cable to
your TV’s antenna
input terminal or
your radio’s FM
antenna input
terminal.
2.
Place your
antenna on top of
your TV. Make sure the front of the antenna faces the
general direction of the nearest television or radio
station’s broadcasting antenna.
nNotes:
• Visit www.AntennaWeb.org to find the location of antennas
in your area.
•
To get the best performance from your antenna, select an
indoor flat surface as high as possible.
•
Make sure the antenna is not placed near metal objects
such as cabinets, shelves, refrigerators, a metal door or
wall, or a water pipe behind a wall. Metal objects can
greatly reduce the antenna’s ability to receive signals.

2 Use your antenna
1. Fully extend the telescoping antenna elements.
2.
For VHF TV Channels 2-13 and FM HD radio stations,
adjust the rotary knob until you get the best picture
and sound.
For UHF TV channels 14-69, rotate the base of the
antenna until you get the best picture and sound.
nNotes:
• Higher broadcast frequencies are noticeably affected by
obstructions.
•
In weak-signal areas, you might get better reception by
doing the following:
For Channels 7-13 and FM HD radio, shorten the
telescoping elements slightly.
For all other VHF channels, adjust the angle of the
telescoping elements.
•
If your TV has screw terminals for VHF/UHF connection,
connect a 75 to 300-ohm transformer (not supplied)
between the coaxial cable and the VHF/UHF terminals.
•
If your TV has a 75-ohm VHF connector and a 300 ohm UHF
connector, connect a signal splitter (not supplied) between
the coaxial cable and the TV’s VHF/UHF connector.
