Painting the FreeVision Antenna

The FreeVision antenna can be painted as long as the metal prongs of the 
forward elements and the matching transformer forks are not painted. If 
you choose to paint the antenna, cover the two circled areas with tape 
before painting. If these areas are painted, your antenna will NOT work, 
and you will void your warranty.

To prevent paint from easily flaking, use a primer when painting the antenna.

Troubleshooting

Issue

Possible Cause

I am not getting channels.

Try running a new channel scan 
on the TV. Try the antenna in a 
new location. Something may be 
obstructing the signal.

One channel is missing.

Try turning the antenna 10 or 20 
degrees in either direction to avoid 
reflection or to better optimize the 
signal, or try moving the antenna 
to a new location. 

Try running a new channel scan on 
the TV. Refer to the channel scan 
insert for more information.

The picture or sound freezes 
while I am watching a channel, 
or there are boxes in the picture.

This is often caused by a weak 
or intermittent signal. Try moving 
the antenna to a better location or 
aiming it directly at the tower for 
this channel.
