Portable HDTV Antenna
CONNECT
Connect the coaxial (coax) cable to the “Antenna In” coax
port on the TV or compatible device, position the antenna
toward the broadcast tower for optimal reception. For a
listing of likely channels available in your area, go online to
winegard.com/selector.
SCAN
Run a channel scan, and note all channels that you are
receiving. Try repositioning the antenna, and re-run a
channel scan every time the antenna is repositioned,
again noting all channels that you are receiving. Repeat
until satisfied with the channels found.
Digital signals may bounce off of objects; for this reason,
test the antenna in multiple locations before mounting the
antenna. Once the best location for the antenna has been
determined, secure the antenna with the suction cup
clips. For stability, secure the clips to opposite corners of
the antenna, but slightly offset the clips from the corners.
Mount the antenna in the desired location.
If more coaxial cable is needed to mount the antenna in the
desired location, connect the coaxial cable to a female-to-
female barrel connector (Winegard model FS-8100, sold
separately), and attach additional coaxial cable.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RUNNING A CHANNEL SCAN*

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
•
How do I run a channel scan?
Using the television remote, select “Menu” and then “Settings.” Then, select “Channel Setup.” Select
“Antenna” or “Air,” depending on your TV. Make sure you are not on “Cable.” Select “Channel Search” or
“Channel Scan.” Keep in mind that steps to perform a channel scan may vary. If the wording in your TV
differs from the options shown, refer to your TV user manual for help.
TIP: Running a channel scan is NOT the same as pressing Channel UP/DOWN on your remote.
•
When do I need to run a channel scan?
To receive maximum programming, you have to run a channel scan after setting up the antenna. To keep
your channel line-up up-to-date, it is a good idea to run a channel scan monthly, anytime a channel is lost,
and anytime you change locations.
•
How do I know where the signal is strongest?
After connecting the coax cable to the “Antenna In” port on the TV, run a channel scan. Try the
antenna in different locations, making sure to run a channel scan every time you move the
antenna. Finding TV signal is similar to cell phone coverage. Sometimes walking a few feet can
make a difference. The less obstructions and the higher the antenna is mounted, the better chance
of receiving a strong signal.
•
Does the Rayzar antenna work with any TV?
The Rayzar antenna works with any TV or device that has an ATSC tuner. Devices that have built-in
ATSC tuners include TVs, laptops, PCs, some satellite receivers, and digital recording devices (DVRs).
TIP: Any television manufactured after March 1, 2007 is required by U.S. government to have an
ATSC tuner. If your TV menu has an option for scanning for digital channels, then your television
has an ATSC tuner.
•
What channels can the Rayzar antenna receive?
The antenna may receive all available local programming. The antenna can receive programming
from all of the major local broadcast networks (e.g. ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS) plus additional
networks (Qubo, ION, The CW, This TV, MyNetworkTV, Azteca, Telefutura, Univision, and Telemundo).
The Rayzar antenna can also receive local news, weather, and educational programs that satellite
and cable don’t offer.
•
How many channels will I receive with the Rayzar antenna?
The number of channels will vary from location to location. Generally, if you are in or near a
metropolitan area, you will receive more channels than if outside a metropolitan area. Keep in
mind that antenna reception may vary based on terrain (including trees, buildings, hills, and
mountains). The fewer obstructions, the better your chance for receiving strong digital signals.
•
Do I need to pay for programming?
No—local programming received through an over-the-air antenna is free!
•
Can I connect the Rayzar antenna to multiple televisions?
The signal should only be split between multiple TVs if using an amplified antenna or amplifier.
