6. Installation Guide
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Clear TV Key Antenna:
Step 1: Connecting Antenna
Attach the mini coax cable, which is the small black cable coming from the antenna. Simply screw the connector into the Antenna In or Cable In port on the back of your television.
IMPORTANT! Your TV must be a digital TV to receive a digital HD broadcast.

Step 2A: Mounting Antenna to Window (Preferred)
Firmly push the suction cups into place along the top of the windowpane. Use caution when applying pressure to the glass window.
Step 2B: Mounting Antenna to Wall
For mounting your antenna on a wall, simply remove the suction cups and use the holes to mount your antenna in your desired location. It is recommended to use tape to temporarily stick the antenna to the wall before permanently mounting with screws (screws not included).

Step 3: Auto Program Scan
Using your TV’s remote control, navigate to the system menu and set the TV’s input to ANTENNA. Then, begin an auto search or auto program to find new stations. The exact steps may vary depending on your TV model.
Step 4: Adjust Antenna Location
To maximize the number of stations received, you may need to adjust or reposition the antenna. Try placement in alternate locations and re-scan for new channels. We recommend the antenna be used within 35 miles of the broadcasting towers for optimal performance.

7. Operation
Once the antenna is connected and your TV has completed the auto program scan, you can begin watching free over-the-air digital and HD channels. Use your TV's channel up/down buttons or input the channel number directly to navigate between available stations.
8. Maintenance
The Clear TV Key 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 connection remains secure.
9. Troubleshooting
- No Signal / Few Channels:
- Ensure the antenna is securely connected to the TV's 'Antenna In' or 'Cable In' port.
- Perform another auto program scan on your TV.
- Try repositioning the antenna to a different location, preferably higher up or closer to a window. Walls and large objects can block signals.
- Check if you are within the 35-mile range of broadcasting towers. Signal strength can vary based on geographical location and terrain.
- Poor Picture Quality:
- Adjust the antenna's position slightly to fine-tune the signal.
- Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources nearby (e.g., large electronic appliances).
- Antenna Not Sticking with Suction Cups:
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying suction cups.
- Press firmly on the suction cups to remove any air.
10. Important Notes
- Always install the product correctly according to this instruction manual.
- This antenna acts as a signal booster. Before purchasing or relying on this product, please verify that there are broadcast signal towers within range of your location. Performance may vary based on local signal availability and environmental factors.
