5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Channel Scan

After connecting the antenna system, perform a channel scan on your television to find available digital channels.

1. Turn on your television and select the correct input source (e.g., "TV," "Antenna," or "Air").
2. Navigate to your TV's menu, usually labeled "Settings," "Setup," or "Channel."
3. Select "Channel Scan," "Auto Program," or "Auto Tune." Ensure the input type is set to "Antenna" or "Air," not "Cable."
