2. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your Mohu Leaf Stitch Amplified antenna and begin receiving free TV channels.

2.1 Unboxing and Component Identification

Your Mohu Leaf Stitch Amplified antenna package includes:

• Mohu Leaf Stitch HDTV antenna
• 12-foot high-performance coaxial cable
• Jolt Switch in-line amplifier with 6-foot USB cable
• Hook & loop tabs and push pins for mounting
• Instruction manual

2.2 Connecting the Antenna

1. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the Jolt Switch in-line amplifier. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Connect the other end of the Jolt Switch amplifier (coaxial connector) to the 'Antenna In' or 'Cable In' port on the back of your television.
3. Plug the USB cable from the Jolt Switch amplifier into an available USB port on your television. This provides power to the amplifier. If your TV does not have a USB port, a standard USB wall adapter (not included) can be used.

2.3 Optimal Placement and Mounting

The Mohu Leaf Stitch antenna is multi-directional, but optimal placement is crucial for best reception. Consider the following:

• Higher is Better: Place the antenna as high as possible.
• Near a Window: Placing the antenna near or on a window often improves signal reception.
• Obstruction-Free: Avoid placing the antenna near large metal objects, thick walls, or other electronics that may cause interference.

Use the included hook & loop tabs or push pins to securely mount the antenna to a wall or window.

2.5 Scanning for Channels

After connecting and positioning your antenna, perform a channel scan on your television:

1. Access your TV's 'Settings' menu.
2. Navigate to 'TV Inputs' or 'Channels'.
3. Select 'Live TV' or 'Antenna'.
4. Choose 'Scan for Channels' or 'Auto Program'.
5. Allow the TV to complete the scan. This may take several minutes.

Once the scan is complete, your TV will display all available free over-the-air channels.

3. Operating Your Antenna

The Mohu Leaf Stitch Amplified antenna provides reliable access to free broadcast television. No internet connection or subscription is required.

4.1 General Care

• Keep the antenna clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Ensure all cable connections remain secure.

4.2 Avoiding Signal Interference

To maintain strong and reliable reception, keep your TV antenna clear of potential sources of signal interference:

• Trees
• Building Materials (e.g., concrete, stucco)
• Tall Buildings
• Wi-Fi Routers
• Other Electronics
• Window Screens (especially metal)
• Metal Roofs
• Gaming Consoles

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your antenna's performance, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Re-scan Channels: If channels are missing or signal quality is poor, perform a new channel scan on your TV. Broadcast frequencies can change, and a fresh scan may resolve the issue.
• Adjust Antenna Position: Even small adjustments to the antenna's position can significantly impact reception. Try moving it to a different wall, higher up, or closer to a window. Use the Antenna Point app to identify the best direction for broadcast towers.
• Check Connections: Ensure all coaxial and USB connections are secure and properly seated.
• Signal Obstructions: Remember that distance to towers and physical obstructions (like dense foliage, buildings, or certain building materials) can affect signal strength. An antenna cannot provide cable TV channels; it only receives free over-the-air broadcasts.
• Jolt Switch Amplifier: Ensure the Jolt Switch amplifier is powered (via TV USB or wall adapter) and its light is on (if applicable) to confirm it's boosting the signal.
