• 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.
