Tips for Digital Reception
• Is the antenna sitting on a metal surface (like a metal
stand)?
Move it to a non-metal surface (metal interferes with
reception). Then, re-scan for channels (see step 2).
• Try the antenna in a different position.
Most of the time, the antenna works best lying down.
But depending on your reception environment, it
might work best for you standing or hanging on the
wall. When you’ve found the best position, re-scan for
channels (see step 2).
• Move the antenna close to a window.
Some construction materials (such as aluminum siding)
make it more difficult to get good reception. Re-scan for
channels when you’re finished (see step 2).
• Position the antenna as high as possible.
Most of the time, this increases your chances of
reception. And this antenna is easy to mount to the
wall (see the Owners Manual for instructions). Re-scan
for channels when you’re finished (see step 2).
• Do you live over 25 miles from the TV’s broadcast
tower? Do you live in an area with a lot of hills?
Your reception environment might require an RCA
Outdoor Antenna for best reception. Long distances
and hilly terrain make TV reception more difficult.
IMPORTANT: Any time you change the antenna’s
position, make sure you re-scan for channels on your TV
or digital TV converter box. The channels you receive
may have changed.
Connect the antenna to your digital
converter box or digital-ready TV.

Remember:
You need either a digital TV converter
box or a TV with a digital tuner to receive digital
channels.
Important:
Some TVs have separate antenna inputs
for analog and digital signals. If you’re connecting
directly to this kind of TV, make sure you use the
digital antenna input.
