2. Connecting the Coaxial Cable

Connect the 40ft coaxial cable from the antenna to the amplifier power supply unit. Then, connect the amplifier power supply unit to your television or set-top box. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

3. Power Connection

Plug the amplifier power supply into a standard AC110V/60Hz electrical outlet.

Operation

Once installed and powered, you can operate the antenna using the remote control.

1. Remote Control Functions

The remote control allows you to rotate the antenna 350° to find the best signal reception. Point the remote control towards the amplifier power supply unit for effective communication. The remote controlled distance is ≤5m.

2. Scanning for Channels

After connecting the antenna and powering it on, perform a channel scan on your television or set-top box. Refer to your TV's instruction manual for specific steps on how to perform a channel scan. Rotate the antenna using the remote control and re-scan channels to optimize reception for different broadcast towers.
