2. Mount the Aerial

Find a convenient indoor location to mount your aerial, then set up the channels using the following 
"Scan the TV for Channels" steps below. 

Note:

 Test your aerial location after scanning for channels and before final mounting with the 3M 

mounting stickers. In some instances, you may decide to relocate the aerial for better reception. See 
“Aerial Placement Options and Tips” below.

If you do not want to mount the aerial to the wall or to a window, you can use the included stand  
for convenient desk or tabletop placement.

Aerial Placement Options and Tips

TV reception and quality depends on the distance from the transmitting tower to your home. 
Surrounding environments may also affect signal strength and reception.

If your reception is sporadic or needs to be improved, try the helpful tips below:

1.

 Placing the aerial in a higher location may result in better reception. 

2.

 Facing the aerial towards the broadcast tower may result in better reception. 

3.

 Placing the aerial close to or on a window may also result in better reception.

Important:

 

Always re-scan for channels whenever you move your aerial.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many channels can I receive?

The number of channels you can receive will be determined by what is being broadcast in your area. 
Channel reception will vary from location to location based on terrain (including trees, buildings, 
hills and mountains). The fewer obstructions, the better your chance of receiving strong digital 
signals. Go to 

http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/

. Enter your address for a listing of likely channels 

available in your area.

Do I need to use an  External Amplifier?    

An amplifier can enhance signals weakened by obstructions between you and the broadcast towers. 
If your TV picture is not crystal clear, or you are unable get strong signals from distant towers, you 
can use the amplifier to boost the weakened signals.

Note:

  We do NOT recommend using the amplifier if your house is very close to the broadcast tower 

and the signal is already very strong. A booster will cause self-oscillation and you may actually end 
up getting fewer signals than without it.

Will all the channels I receive be High Definition (HD)? 

Not all digital signals are High Definition (HD). Make sure you are using a High Definition Television 
(HDTV) with built in DVB-T tuner. When connecting the aerial to a third-party receiver, make sure it 
is capable of receiving HD. Otherwise no HD channels can be picked up.
