3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your ONN Indoor Antenna:
- Connect the Antenna: Locate the coaxial input (ANT/IN) on the back of your television or digital converter box. Connect the coaxial cable from the ONN Indoor Antenna directly to this input.
- Connect the Signal Booster: The powerful signal booster is designed to enhance reception. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the 'ANT' port on the signal booster. Then, connect the booster's output coaxial cable to the 'TV' port on your television or converter box.
- Power the Signal Booster: Connect the USB power cable to the signal booster's power input. Plug the other end of the USB cable into an available USB port on your TV or a USB wall adapter (not included). Ensure the booster's indicator light (if present) illuminates, indicating it is receiving power.
- Position the Antenna: For optimal reception, place the antenna in a location with minimal obstructions and away from large metal objects or appliances that may cause interference. Experiment with different positions, such as near a window or high on a wall, to find the best signal. The multi-directional design allows for flexible placement.
- Scan for Channels: Access your TV's menu and navigate to the 'Channel Scan' or 'Auto Program' function. Select 'Antenna' or 'Air' as the input source. Start the channel scan. This process may take several minutes.

4. Operating the Antenna
Once setup is complete and channels have been scanned, your antenna is ready for use. You can now browse and watch available over-the-air channels.
- Channel Selection: Use your TV remote to navigate through the channels found during the scan.
- Signal Optimization: If you experience pixelation or loss of signal on certain channels, try slightly adjusting the antenna's position and performing another channel scan. Even small adjustments can significantly impact reception.
- 4K and HD Ready: This antenna is capable of receiving 4K and HD broadcasts where available in your area. The quality of the picture will depend on the broadcast signal strength and your TV's capabilities.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your antenna, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Signal or Poor Picture Quality:
- Check Connections: Ensure all coaxial cables are securely connected to the antenna, booster, and TV.
- Reposition Antenna: Try moving the antenna to a different location, especially higher up or closer to a window. Perform a channel scan after each repositioning.
- Rescan Channels: Always perform a new channel scan after moving the antenna or if new channels become available.
- Check Booster Power: Verify that the signal booster is properly powered via its USB connection and its indicator light is on.
- Interference: Keep the antenna away from large electronic devices (e.g., microwaves, refrigerators) that can cause electromagnetic interference.
- Fewer Channels Than Expected:
- Antenna Position: The number of channels received is highly dependent on antenna placement and proximity to broadcast towers. Experiment with different locations.
- Signal Strength: Some channels may have weaker signals. The powerful signal booster helps, but extreme distances or obstructions can still limit reception.
