  Open your TV’s Setup menu, then select the “scan” or “channel 

scan” option. Your TV automatically searches for available 
channels in your area. Refer to your TV manual for detailed 
instructions.

Tips for better reception

•  Keep the antenna away from sources of interference, such as 

air conditioners, elevators, hair dryers, or microwave ovens.

•  Place the antenna near a window.
•  Install the antenna as high as possible to avoid possible 

obstacles between the antenna and transmission tower. 
Obstacles may cause temporary signal loss.

•  Run a channel scan every time you move your antenna.
•  If possible, position your antenna toward the transmission 

tower. 

•  To determine which channels are available in your area, visit 

www.antennaweb.org. Type in your zip code to get help with 
antenna placement.

•  Test the antenna in multiple locations to find the strongest 

signal.

•  This antenna is an indoor antenna. Do not place it outside. 
•  Run a channel scan monthly to make sure that you are 

receiving all possible channels.

•  Some TVs have a signal strength indicator that can help with 

antenna placement. See your TV manual to see if your TV has 
this feature.

•  This antenna works with any TV or device with an ATSC tuner. 

Refer to the device manual to check compatibility.

Troubleshooting

I cannot find any channels.

•  Make sure that you have selected the correct input on your TV.
•  Go to the menu on your TV or set top box, such as a 

cable/satellite box or streaming media device, and rescan the 
channels.

•  Make sure that all your connections are correct and secure.
•  Adjust your antenna, then rescan for available channels on your 

TV or set top box.

•  Make sure that you are connected to a TV or set top box with an 

ATSC tuner.

The picture quality is good on some channels and poor or no 
reception on others.

•  Adjust your antenna, then scan for available channels on your 

TV or set top box.

•  Keep the antenna away from sources of interference such as air 

conditioners, hair dryers, and microwave ovens.

•  Your antenna may be too far from the broadcast antenna to 

receive an adequate signal. The signal may also be affected by 
obstructions between the broadcast antenna and your antenna.

•  Make sure that the signal strength from the antenna is 

adequate. Some TVs have a signal strength indicator. See your 
TV manual to see if your TV has this feature.

•  If you use a UHF/VHF amplifier to boost the signal level, make 

sure that it is operating correctly.

I don’t know what digital TV reception I get in my area.
