2 Connect the other end of the built-in  
coaxial cable to the input on the TV  
receiver.  
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.  
3 Connect the DC plug to the antenna and  
Installation  
the power supply to a 120V AC outlet.  
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.  
4 Turn the power switch on.  
» The blue LED is lit.  
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.

Note  
control towards the max level.  
To check the distance from the local TV broadcast  
org for more information.  
For UHF reception  
1 Turn the TV to the desired channel/  
station.  
2 To turn the amplifier up, switch the gain  
control towards the max level.  
2 Extend the VHF rod antenna to the  
longest possible length.  
3 Turn the TV or FM radio to the desired  
channel/station. Move the VHF rod  
antenna in different directions up and  
down until the reception is achieved.  
3 Tilt or swivel the UHF log periodic  
antenna towards the transmitter until the  
reception is achieved.

Ensure the signal strength is good enough  
before you install the channels with the  
tuner.  
5 Frequently  
asked questions  
Can this antenna work with Analogue  
transmissions?  
Yes, this antenna can receive analogue  
television broadcasts in the UHF and VHF  
bandwidths.  
Can this antenna receive digital or work with  
ATSC broadcasts?  
Yes, this antenna is designed to receive ATSC  
and HDTV broadcasts in the UHF & VHF  
bandwidths.  
Note  
It is possible to switch the gain control level down for  
best reception.  
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.  
Note  
The UHF log periodic element only allows 90  
degrees rotation.  
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.  
Set up a digital tuner with this  
antenna  
Note  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Can I set up this antenna with a digital tuner?  
Yes, this antenna can be set up with a digital  
tuner. (see ‘Set up a digital tuner with this  
antenna’ on page 9)

A device, either a single stage or a large scale  
circuit with multiple stages for creating gain,  
i.e. it makes small signals larger.  
Antenna

a received radio frequency signal or radiates a  
transmitted RF signal.  
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems  
Committee)  
The Advanced Television Systems Committee,  
Inc., is an international, non-profit organization  
developing voluntary standards for digital  
television. The high definition television  
standards defined by the ATSC produce wide  
screen 16:9 images up to 1920x1080 pixels  
in size -- more than six times the display  
resolution of the earlier standard. However,  
many different image sizes are also supported,  
so that up to six standard-definition “virtual  
channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz  
TV channel.

UHF (Ultra high frequency)  
Female connector  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).  
A female connector is a connector attached  
to a wire, cable, or piece of hardware, having  
one or more recessed holes with electrical  
terminals inside, and constructed in such a  
way that a plug with exposed conductors  
(male connector ) can be inserted snugly into  
it to ensure a reliable physical and electrical  
connection.  
V
VHF (Very high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.  
FM (Frequency Modulation)  
In radio broadcasting: a method of modulation  
in which the frequency of the carrier voltage  
is varied with the frequency of the modulation  
voltage.  
H
HDTV (High-Definition Television)  
It is a digital television broadcasting system  
with higher resolution than traditional  
television systems (standard-definition TV,  
or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast;  
the earliest implementations used analog  
broadcasting, but today digital television  
(DTV) signals are used, requiring less  
bandwidth due to digital video compression.  
M
Male connector  
A male connector is a connector attached  
to a wire, cable, or piece of hardware, having  
one or more exposed, unshielded electrical  
terminals, and constructed in such a way that  
it can be inserted snugly into a receptacle  
(female connector) to ensure a reliable  
physical and electrical connection .
