About Your TERK
FDTV1a Flat Antenna

Thank you for choosing the TERK FDTV1a. TERK
antennas are designed to deliver sharp, clear
reception of digital signals. At TERK, our engineering
department is dedicated to designing antennas
that enhance both the latest technology and the
aesthetics of any viewing environment. The FDTV1a
installs in minutes and is easy to use. The FDTV1a
has a patented design that lets it receive signals from
360-degrees and work in both the horizontal and
vertical planes, which means it requires virtually no
adjustments once you’ve put it in place.

Before using your antenna, please remove all parts
from the box and read this owner’s manual carefully.

The FDTV1a antenna package includes the following
items:

1 FDTV1a Antenna Pro with Built-In Coaxial Cable
1 Removable Multi-Purpose Stand/Wall Mount with

screws for attachment

1 Removable In-Line Amplifier with Built-In Coaxial

Installing your FDTV1a
antenna

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.

Positioning the Antenna

Once you’ve found the best place to set up your
antenna, you have three options for placing it—you
can lay it flat, hang it on the wall, or stand it upright.

The antenna is designed to perform equally well in all
three positions. For most settings, the recommended
position is lying flat, attached to the included stand.
However, the best position for your antenna may vary
depending on your location and setting. Television
signal waves bounce off of objects, causing signal
reflections that might cause the antenna to perform
better in one location or orientation over others. Test
the antenna in the different positions before putting it
in its permanent position.

Please Note: Do not place your FDTV1a near large

metal objects or appliances that could create
interference.

Installation (continued)

Attaching the Multi-Purpose
Stand/Wall Mount

The Multi-Purpose Stand/Wall Mount attaches to
the FDTV1a two ways: to the back for laying flat or
mounting to the wall, or to the bottom for standing the
antenna upright.

To lay the FDTV1a flat or mount it to your wall:

1. Push the screws through the holes on the bottom of
the stand.

2. Line the stand up with
the holes on the back
of the antenna. Use a
Phillips-head screwdriver
to attach the stand to
the back of the antenna.
Make sure not to
overtighten the screws.
