Unplug the antenna amplifier and make
sure your TV is turned off.
Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna
amplifier to the antenna input on your TV or
digital converter box.
Important:
Make sure you uncoil the antenna’s cable
completely. Leaving it coiled will reduce reception
performance.
Plug the antenna amplifier’s power adapter into a
standard AC outlet. Don’t connect it to your TV yet.

This power adapter should be plugged in so that it
stays vertical or lays flat.
Connect the antenna to your TV.
Use the antenna’s signal meter to fine-tune
antenna location and orientation.
Use the Terk Signal Finder App to find the
best location for your antenna.
Antenna Placement Tips
Avoid metal surfaces (like a metal stand).
Move the antenna close to or in a window.
Position the antenna as high as possible.
In the Google Play or Apple App Stores, search for “Terk
Signal Finder” and look for the icon shown here. Then
download and install the App.
Launch the App and follow the directions there to find the
best location and orientation for your antenna.
The signal meter on
the antenna’s amplifier
measures the signal of the
strongest UHF signal your
antenna is receiving.
Move your antenna until the
signal meter shows at least
the middle yellow indicator.
For best performance, try to
get the green!
Most TVs have a channel scan option in their menu system, many times in
a SETUP or CHANNEL menu under ANTENNA.
For detailed instructions on performing a channel scan, see the owner’s
manual that came with your TV.
Important: You must perform a channel scan to receive any channels!
There are two easy ways to mount the antenna.

the antenna.

from the other
side of each
square.
Line up the antenna
and press it against
the mounting surface
for 10 seconds. Let go,
then press 30 seconds
more.
Option 2: Using the antenna’s mounting holes
Insert two thumbtacks (not included) into the two
holes on the top of the antenna.
Mount the antenna.
Scan for channels on your TV.
