antenna directly to the HDTV. Older TVs may require a separate digital TV tuner

or digital converter box.

Connecting the antenna with a digital converter or set-top box

box, then connect a video/audio cable (such as an HDMI, coaxial,

or AV cable) from your converter box or set-top box to your TV.

Note : If you don’t receive channels that you want, try moving your antenna to another location, then run the channel scan again.

TIPS FOR BETTER RECEPTION

For the best reception:

• Install the antenna as high as possible to avoid possible obstacles between the antenna and the transmission tower.

• If possible, place the antenna near windows.

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

• Run a channel scan (from your TV's setup menu) 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 that you are receiving all possible channels.

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

• This antenna works with any TV or device with an ATSC tuner. See your device’s manual to check compatibility.
