into the base and positioned on a horizontal surface.
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 the TV
1Connect one end of the coaxial cable
to the signal output of the antenna and
the other end to the input on your TV
receiver.

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.

H
HDTV (High-Denition Television)
It is a digital television broadcasting system
with higher resolution than traditional
television systems (standard-denition 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.
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).
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.
7 Glossary
A
Antenna
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up
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-prot organization
developing voluntary standards for digital
television. The high denition television
standards dened 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-denition “virtual
channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz
TV channel.
C
Coaxial
A single copper conductor, surrounded with
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding
copper shield and nally, 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.
