4. Scan for Channels:

   Access your TV's setup menu and select "Antenna" or "Air" as the input source. Then, initiate a channel scan or auto-program function. This process may take several minutes.

Operating the Signal Finder

The patented LED Signal Finder is a key feature for optimizing your antenna's performance. It helps you identify the best location and orientation for maximum signal strength.

1. Activate the Signal Finder:

   Once the antenna is connected and powered, the LED indicators on the antenna will illuminate. These LEDs provide real-time feedback on signal strength and orientation.
2. Find Optimal Placement:

   Slowly reposition the antenna (rotate, move closer to a window, higher up) while observing the LED meter. More illuminated LEDs indicate a stronger signal. The meter shows both location strength (left LEDs) and orientation strength (right LEDs).

3. Conceal LEDs (Optional):

   After finding the optimal position, you can press the button on the antenna to turn off the LEDs, eliminating unwanted light. You can reactivate them at any time to re-check signal strength.

PureAmp™ Technology:

This antenna incorporates PureAmp™ Technology, which includes a built-in 4G/5G LTE filter. This filter blocks unwanted cellular interference and amplifies VHF and UHF broadcast signals, ensuring clear, pure reception.

The antenna provides access to free local TV channels, including major networks, in full HD.

Maintenance

The GE Amplified HD TV Antenna requires minimal maintenance. Keep the antenna clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the coaxial cable and power connections remain secure.

Troubleshooting

• No Signal or Poor Picture Quality:
  • Ensure all connections (coaxial cable, power adapter) are secure.
  • Verify the TV input is set to "Antenna" or "Air".
  • Reposition the antenna using the LED Signal Finder to find a stronger signal. Try different locations (e.g., near a window, higher up) and orientations.
  • Perform a new channel scan on your TV after repositioning the antenna.
  • Check for local broadcast tower locations online (e.g., FCC DTV Reception Maps) to orient the antenna correctly.
• Fewer Channels Than Expected:
  • Signal strength can vary based on terrain, distance from broadcast towers, and obstacles.
  • Ensure the amplifier is powered.
  • Try a different antenna location and perform another channel scan.
  • Consider if your location is within the antenna's 60-mile range.
• LED Signal Finder Not Working:
  • Ensure the AC power adapter is properly connected and plugged into a working outlet.
  • Press the button on the antenna to ensure the LEDs are not simply turned off.
