Package Contents
Verify that all items are present in the package:
- One For All SV9141 Amplified Indoor Antenna
- Coaxial Cable (1.0 meter)
- Power Adapter (for amplification)
- User Manual (this document)
Setup
- Antenna Placement: Position the antenna indoors, ideally near a window and away from large metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference. Experiment with different locations to find the best signal reception.
- Connect to TV/Receiver: Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna's output port to the antenna input (ANT IN or RF IN) on your television or digital receiver.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the antenna's power input, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator light on the antenna should illuminate.
- Scan for Channels: Access your TV's or receiver's menu and perform an automatic channel scan (sometimes called 'Auto Tune' or 'Channel Search'). This process will detect available digital and analog channels in your area. Refer to your TV's manual for specific instructions on how to perform a channel scan.

Operating Instructions
After initial setup and channel scanning, you may need to fine-tune the antenna for optimal reception.
- Antenna Adjustment: The SV9141 features adjustable telescopic rods and a rotatable loop. Gently extend and rotate these elements to find the best signal strength for your desired channels.
- Gain Control: The antenna includes an adjustable gain control knob. If your signal is weak, gradually increase the gain. If the signal is too strong, leading to pixelation or signal loss, reduce the gain. Excessive amplification can sometimes amplify interference, degrading picture quality.
Optimizing Reception
- Location: Try different locations within the room. Higher positions or closer to a window often yield better results.
- Orientation: Adjust the direction of the antenna. Small changes in angle can significantly impact signal quality.
- Interference: Keep the antenna away from other electronic devices (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers) that can cause electromagnetic interference.
- Rescan: After adjusting the antenna's position or orientation, perform another channel scan on your TV to update the channel list and signal strengths.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the antenna. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays.
- Storage: If not in use for an extended period, unplug the power adapter and store the antenna in a cool, dry place.
