Connect the F male connector of the 75Ω RG59 coaxial cable to the F female
connector on the antenna and connect the other end of the cable (IEC male) to
the ANT/IN connector on the back of the TV or set-top box. Use the included
plastic wrench (spanner) to better tighten the cable's connector.

Find a convenient indoor/outdoor location to mount your antenna, then set up the channels using
the following "Scan the TV for Channels" steps below.
Note:
Test your antenna location after scanning for channels and before final mounting with the
included mounting accessories. In some instances, you may decide to relocate the antenna for better
reception. See “Antenna Placement Options and Tips” below.

Antenna 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 antenna in a higher location may result in better reception.
2.
Facing the antenna towards the broadcast tower may result in better reception.
3.
Placing the antenna indoors close to a window or outdoors with no obstructions may also result
in better reception.
Important:
Always re-scan for channels whenever you move your antenna.
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.ueberallfernsehen.de
. 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 the picture be better than cable?
All cable companies compress their signals. The result is a degraded signal that is usually inferior to
DVB-T broadcasts. Many factors determine whether your picture quality will be better in every
instance. However, your picture quality should greatly improve using your 1byone® DVB-T compatible
digital antenna.
Can I connect the antenna to multiple televisions?
The antenna's signal should only be split between multiple TVs if the antenna comes with an
included amplifier.
