Set “GAIN” to “1” for strong or nearby stations, or when you are not using the antenna.
3. Press and hold STORE until CH indicators flashing.
4. Select a channel (same as your TV’s channel) to store the antenna direction and gain level by pressing
a number between 0 and 99 on the remote, e.g. Press 00 to select channel 0; 01 to select channel 1,
etc.
5. Press STORE to save the antenna direction, the gain level and the channel number. Once the channel is
saved, the indicators will stop flashing to indicate the end of preset mode.
