Flat Indoor Antenna

Note about digital channels

To display digital signals on your TV, you’ll need to have the right

equipment: either a TV that is capable of decoding digital signals

or a digital converter box.

Troubleshooting

I have a cable ready TV. Why can’t I get channels above 13?

The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes: one for cable

and one for antenna. When the TV is in cable mode, and you are

using an antenna, you will not be able to receive any channels above

13. To fix this, simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV

from Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode.

I have my TV in a metal cabinet. Will the antenna work for me?

Any large metal objects will prevent the antenna signal from

reaching the antenna. You must place the antenna outside of or

above the metal cabinet.

My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I place

my antenna?

Place the antenna near a window to minimize interference and

improve your reception.

Can I use my antenna in a basement?

TV signals usually cannot penetrate into basement locations due to

their lower elevation.

Please Note:

Other variables, unrelated to antenna performance,

can effect your reception. These include distance from the

broadcasting source, and natural or man-made conditions (such as

buildings between the transmitting source and your antenna).

Assembly and Usage Instructions

7. Flip the entire assembly over and carefully tighten the screws.

DO NOT over tighten.

8. Connect the coaxial cable to your TV’s antenna input.

Finding the best location for the antenna

Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your

home for optimum reception. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see where

your local broadcasts are coming from. Then, try as much as possible

to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your antenna.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ANTENNA PLACEMENT:

Although the ANT1000 may perform well when placed near or on

electronics such as TVs, these electronics may also interfere with

the antenna’s reception. If you experience reception difficulties

with the ANT1000, try moving it away from your TV or other

nearby electronic devices.
The ANT1000 works when on a flat surface or stretched horizontally

on a wall or window. It will not work when stretched vertically on a

wall or window.

Note: Many times the best location for the antenna is close to or on a

window. You can use two-sided tape to mount to a window pane.

Assembling the ANT1000

sections before assembling the antenna.
