Follow the instructions in the owner’s manual of your TV or converter box to change the input from ‘CABLE’ to ‘ANTENNA’, ‘AIR’, or ‘BROADCAST’.Point the front of the antenna in the direction of your TV stations’ broadcast towers and check reception by scanning for channels. If you are not receiving all of the available channels, move the antenna and re scan.

Place the Sealing Pads (15) over the pilot holes, and the Mount Base (14) on top of the Sealing Pads. Tighten the 50 mm Screws (13) to secure the base to the surface.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem: I’m not getting any signals at all.
Possible causes:
- You MUST perform a channel scan on the converter box.
- Refer to your TV owner’s manual for instructions.
- Your TV must be set to the proper input source. Press the input button on your remote and make sure the input is set to TV.
- Select the menu or home button on your remote and set the signal type to “Antenna’: “Air”, or”Broadcast”.
- Within the TV’s Setup menu, select “Channel” or “Channel scan” to scan for the available channels.
- Make sure the front of the antenna is facing the broadcast tower locations serving your area.
- Outdoor Use: You do not have a clear line of sight to your local broadcast towers.
- You might need to elevate and/or move your antenna. Remember to re scan for channels in every location.
- You are outside the range of your antenna’s capabilities.Depending upon the distance between your home and the local broadcast towers, you may need a longer range outdoor/attic antenna. Antennas Direct offers many models for the is purpose.
- You may have loose coaxial cable connections. Check ALL connections for a tight fit and check all outdoor connections for moisture or corrosion.
- Remember to re scan every time you move your antenna.
Problem: I’m receiving every channel except for one.
Possible cause:
- You may need to re scan the TV tuner or converter box.|
Repeat as needed.
Possible cause:
- Your TV may be receiving interfering signals.
A larger/stronger antenna will not necessarily solve this problem. Consider moving the antenna, making sure it is not placed near metal objects or other antennas. If this is not successful, your signal may be too strong and may require the use of an attenuator.
