USING THE RUBBER BOOT

• Use the included rubber boot to help protect the coaxial connection to the antenna from environmental elements.

1 Cut four, evenly-spaced slits into the narrow end of the rubber boot.

2 Run the coaxial cable through the narrow end of the rubber boot,

then connect the coaxial cable to the antenna’s coaxial jack.

3 Slide the rubber boot into the round channel on the antenna.

4 Wrap the included zip tie around the four slits on the narrow end

of the rubber boot, then pull the tie tight.

TIPS FOR BETTER RECEPTION

• Install the antenna as high as possible to avoid possible obstacles between the antenna and transmission tower. Obstacles may cause signal loss.

• When installing indoors, place the antenna near a window. If the window has a metal screen, place the antenna near a window that does not have a metal screen.

• Keep the antenna away from sources of interference, such as air conditioners, hair dryers, or microwave ovens.

• Run a channel scan every time you move your antenna.

• If possible, position your antenna toward the transmission tower. To determine which channels are available in your area, visit www.antennaweb.org. Type in your zip code to get help with antenna placement.

• Test the antenna in multiple locations to find the strongest signal.

• Run a channel scan monthly to make sure you are receiving all possible channels.

• Some TVs have a signal strength indicator that can help with antenna placement. See your TV manual to see if your TV has this feature.

• This antenna works with any TV or device with an ATSC tuner. Refer to the device manual to check compatibility.

• The antenna’s range will vary depending on a wide range of environmental and geographic factors—the mile range provided is only for reference.
