the antenna to your selected surface. See For optimal
reception below for tips on mounting your antenna.
4. Scan for channels. This is usually found in your HDTV
on-screen menu. See your HDTV documentation for more
information. To keep your channel list up-to-date, run a
channel scan monthly. For a listing of channels available in
your area, go to dtv.gov/maps.
For optimal reception
• Position the antenna as high as possible and towards the
broadcast tower. The higher the antenna, the better the
signal.
• Test the antenna in multiple locations because digital
signals may bounce off objects.
• If the antenna lies at (e.g. on a table), make sure the
coaxial cable points towards the broadcast tower.
• If the antenna is mounted vertically (e.g. on a wall or
window), run the coaxial cable from the top or bottom of
the antenna (not the sides).

• Do not paint the antenna. Metallic paint can block signals.
FAQ
When do I need to run a channel scan
Run a channel scan after setting up the antenna, then monthly
to keep your channels up-to-date.
How do I know where the signal is strongest?
Try the antenna in different locations, making sure to run a channel
scan every time you move the antenna. Sometimes moving a few
feet can make a difference. The fewer obstructions between the
antenna and the tower and the higher the antenna is mounted, the
better the chance of receiving a strong signal.
Some HDTVs have a signal strength indicator that shows you how
strong your signal is. See the instructions that came with your
HDTV to see if yours has that feature.
Is there anywhere that the antenna shouldn’t be mounted?
The antenna is designed for indoor use only. The antenna is not
meant to be mounted outdoors or in the attic.

8
Does the antenna work with any HDTV?
The antenna works with any HDTV or device that has an ATSC
tuner. Devices that have built-in ATSC tuners include HDTVs,
laptops, PCs, some satellite receivers, and digital recording
devices (DVRs). Any television manufactured after March 1, 2007 is
required by U.S. government to have an ATSC tuner. If your HDTV
menu has an option for scanning for digital channels, your
television has an ATSC tuner.
Can I connect the antenna to multiple televisions?
The signal should only be split between multiple HDTVs if using an
amplied antenna.
What channels can the antenna receive?
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 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 antenna?
The number of channels will vary from location to location.
Generally, if you live in or near a metropolitan area, you will receive

9
more channels than if you live 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.
How can I nd out what channels are broadcast in my area?
Check out dtv.gov/maps. Enter your address to get a listing of
likely channels available in your area.
Do I need to pay for programming?
No, local programming received through an over-the-air antenna is free!
Troubleshooting
I am not getting any channels.
Run a channel scan on your HDTV. Select Antenna, Off-Air Mode, or
Auto-scan, depending on your HDTV. See your TV documentation for
more information.
NOTE: Running a channel scan is NOT the same as pressing
Channel UP/DOWN on your remote.
• Move the antenna, then re-run the channel scan. Something may
be obstructing the signal.
• Use the 110V adapter instead of the USB port on your HDTV for
more power.

10
One channel is missing.
• Move the antenna, then re-run the channel scan. Something may
be obstructing the signal.
• Try turning the antenna 10 or 20 degrees in either direction to
avoid reection, then re-run the channel scan.
The picture or sound freezes while I am watching a channel, or
there are boxes in the picture.
• This is often caused by a weak or intermittent signal. Try moving
the antenna to a different location or aiming it directly at the
broadcast tower for this channel.
