Setting Up the ANT1400F
Find the best location for the antenna
Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your home for optimum reception. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see where your local broadcasts are coming from. Then, try as much as possible to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your antenna.
Because of its multi-directional capabilities, the ANT1400F receives UHF, VHF, and local high-defi nition broadcasts, providing quality reception from most locations.
Note: The ANT1400F may work well sitting on your TV or other components. However, because electronic components can sometimes interfere with the antenna’s reception, you might notice an effect on the antenna’s performance. Likewise, placing the antenna on a metal surface may interfere with reception. If the antenna isn’t performing as well as expected, try moving it away from the component or placing it on another surface. Then, re-scan for channels on your TV or converter box.

Coaxial Cable Installation Precautions
• Do not bend coaxial cables into less than a three-inch radius. Tighter bends can cause shorts and can change a cable’s impedance.
• Do not install a coaxial cable where it will have a pulling tension greater than 15 pounds during installation. After installation, make sure there is no tension on the cable.
• Use only round-headed staples. Any clamps or securing devices used with coax should grip the cable evenly about the circumference without crushing the cable. Flat staples can damage the coaxial cable.
• Do not expose a coaxial cable to a temperature greater than 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the cable away from heating vents and water heaters.
