Setting Up the ANT1100F
Find the best location for the antenna
Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your home for optimum
reception. Visit www.tvsetfree.com to see where your local broadcasts are coming from.
Then, try as much as possible to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your
antenna.
It is highly recommended that the flat surface of the antenna should face the broadcast
tower or as close as practical.
Because of its multi-directional capabilities, the ANT1100F receives UHF, VHF, and local
high-definition broadcasts, providing quality reception from most locations.
Note: Placing the antenna on a metal surface may interfere with reception. If the antenna
isn’t performing as well as expected, try placing it on another surface. Then, re-scan for
channels on your TV or converter box.
Test the Location
Broadcast signal strength can vary significantly inside your home even within the same
room. In most homes, the best signal strength will usually be in a window or as high on the
wall as possible.
Before you mount the antenna to the wall using the provided mounting tape, it’s a good
idea to test the location you want to use. Temporarily mount the antenna using 2-3 pieces
of scotch tape. Then continue with the connection instructions below. Once you’ve scanned
for channels on your TV, you’ll be able to tell if this is a good location to use or not. If it
is, you can continue with the mounting instructions that follow. If it isn’t, you can try for
better channel scan results with the antenna in a different location in the room.
