To ensure the antenna to work properly, read 

the user manual of your television before you 

start. Set the television so that it receives the 

signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or 

SATELLITE.

Installation

Determine the signal strength

Before Installation, determine the best location 

for optimum reception. It is important for the 

antenna to have an unobstructed path to the 

transmitter. For best results, ensure the antenna 

faces the location of the transmitter.

Note

Choose a location near a window which gives the 

 

antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Note

Place the antenna away from the metal surface to 

 

avoid interference.

Connect to the TV

1

  Connect one end of your coaxial cable to 

the signal output of the antenna. 

2

TV receiver.

the power supply to a 230-240V AC outlet.
