5. Setup

1. Power Supply: Insert 6x AA batteries into the battery pack holder, or connect a 9V DC power adapter (not included) to the device.
2. Connect Antenna: Connect your antenna cable to the left F-Female connector on the signal finder, labeled "ANTENNA".
3. Connect to TV/Receiver: Connect the power cable from the battery pack or 9V DC adapter to the right F-Female connector on the signal finder, labeled "POWER". This connection also typically goes to your TV or receiver.
4. Remove Amplifiers: Ensure any external amplifiers connected to your antenna are temporarily removed during the signal finding process to avoid inaccurate readings.

6. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Once connected, the signal finder will power on. The meter's needle will indicate signal strength.
2. Initial Adjustment: If the meter's reading immediately goes to full scale, adjust the level control knob (located on the side) clockwise to reduce the reading to approximately 5. This prevents saturation and allows for finer adjustments.
3. Antenna Positioning: Slowly adjust the direction of your antenna while observing the meter's reading. Aim for the highest possible meter reading. A higher reading indicates a stronger signal.
4. Fine-tuning: As you approach the strongest signal, you may need to further adjust the level control knob to keep the needle within the readable range (around 5-7) for precise fine-tuning. Continue to move the antenna slightly to achieve the absolute highest reading.
5. Final Steps: Once the optimal antenna position is found, carefully secure your antenna.
6. Disconnect: Remove the signal finder from the antenna line and reconnect any external amplifiers that were previously disconnected.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the signal finder in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Connections: Periodically check F-connectors for corrosion or damage.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Power/No Meter Movement:
  • Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fresh.
  • Verify the 9V DC adapter (if used) is properly connected and functional.
• Weak Signal Reading:
  • Ensure all cable connections are secure.
  • Adjust the antenna direction slowly and methodically.
  • Check for obstructions between the antenna and the broadcast tower.
  • If using a long cable run, consider adding an amplifier after the signal finder has been removed.
• Meter Always Full Scale:
  • Turn the level control knob clockwise to decrease sensitivity.
  • Ensure any external amplifiers are removed during the signal finding process.
