3 Get started  
To ensure the antenna to work properly, read  
the user manual of your television before you  
start. Set the television so that it receives the  
signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or  
SATELLITE.  
Installation  
Determine the signal strength  
Before Installation, determine the best  
location for optimum reception. It is important  
for the antenna to have an unobstructed path  
to the transmitter. For best results, ensure the  
antenna faces the location of the transmitter.  
Note  
Choose a location near a window which gives  
the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.  
Note  
Place the antenna away from the metal surface  
to avoid interference.  
Connect to theTV  
1 Connect the signal output on the antenna  
to the TV.

Set up a digital tuner with this  
antenna  
You can install available channels with the digital  
TV tuner.This automatic process is part of the  
setup of the tuner. Ensure the antenna has  
set up properly before the tuner can receive  
viewable channels.  
There are two ways to connect the antenna to  
theTV:  
Connect the antenna to a digital tuner.  
If the signal strength is good enough, the  
channels can be memorized in the tuner  
automatically .  
Connect the antenna directly to the TV.  
Tune to the analogue channels and find  
the best antenna location. Then re-  
connect the antenna to the digital tuner.  
Ensure the signal strength is good enough  
before you install the channels with the  
tuner.

5 Frequently  
6 Warranty and  
asked questions  
service  
Can this antenna work with Analogue  
transmissions?  
Warranty information can be found at:  
Yes, this antenna can receive analogue television  
broadcasts in the UHF and VHF bandwidths.  
For technical support, send us an email with  
the model number of the product and a  
detailed description of your problem to:  
Can this antenna receive digital or work with  
HD-DVB broadcasts?  
Yes, this antenna is designed to receive digital  
DVB and HDTV broadcasts in the UHF &  
VHF bandwidths.  
Can the antenna be powered by a DC power  
supply in a boat, RV or camper?  
Yes, there is a DC power socket located at the  
back of the antenna. Plug your cable/adapter  
into the antenna and then into your power  
source.  
Where should I place the antenna in order to  
get the best reception possible?  
Choose a location near a window which gives  
the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.  
Tip  
For best reception, place the antenna away  
from the metal surface to avoid interference.  
How do I know how much gain (amplification)  
is required to receive a clear picture?  
Once you have the VHF dipoles extended to  
the longest length, turn on the amplifier. Turn  
the amplifier up to the max position and then  
reduce as needed. In some case, you need to  
turn the amplifier down to receive a clearer  
picture.  
Can I set up this antenna with a digital tuner?

the earliest implementations used analog  
broadcasting, but today digital television  
(DTV) signals are used, requiring less  
bandwidth due to digital video compression.  
7 Glossary

Amplifier  
A device, either a single stage or a large scale  
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain,  
i.e. it makes small signals larger.  
U
UHF (Ultra high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).  
Antenna

In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.  
Coaxial  
A single copper conductor, surrounded with  
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding  
copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket.  
An unbalanced transmission line with constant  
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly  
used for low level, line signals terminated in  
RCA connectors.  
D
DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)  
DVB is a suite of internationally accepted open  
standards for digital television.  
F
