Antennas Direct ClearStream 4 UHF TV Antenna

შესავალი

The Antennas Direct ClearStream 4 UHF TV antenna is designed to receive over-the-air broadcast television signals. This multi-directional antenna utilizes four patented loops to capture UHF signals from broadcast towers up to 70+ miles away. It is compatible with NEXTGEN TV, 4K, 8K UHD, and Full HD 1080p, providing free local TV without requiring an internet connection. The antenna is suitable for indoor, attic, or outdoor installation, making it versatile for various environments, especially suburban and rural areas where signal interference from foliage or building materials can be a concern. Reflectors are included to enhance forward gain and protect the incoming TV signal from interference, which helps prevent pixelation or complete loss of picture.

1. Antenna Assembly

1. Position Loop Elements: Place the loop elements so that the Antennas Direct logo on each is in the same orientation.
2. Attach Combiner Bars: Turn the loop elements over. Attach the combiner bars to each terminal on the back of each loop element using the supplied wingnuts.
3. Fit Circular Base to Reflector: For each loop element, fit the circular base to the reflector. Align the hole in the base to the hole in the reflector support.
4. Attach Bars to Reflector: Attach the two bars to each reflector by removing the back clamp. Thread the screw through the holes in the top and bottom of the reflector's aluminum bar. Reattach the clamp and finish assembly with the wingnut.
5. Secure Reflector to Loop Elements: Thread the supplied bolt through the reflector's aluminum bar and pass it through the hole in the base of the loop elements. Tighten securely.

2. J-Mount Mast Assembly

1. Attach the J-mount mast to the mount base using the hex bolts and nuts. Tighten securely with a ratcheting driver.

3. Pre-Installation Testing and Placement

Before permanent outdoor installation, it is crucial to test the antenna in a location that offers the clearest possible view towards broadcast towers. Avoid areas with tall trees or buildings that could obstruct the signal. Use the Antenna Point webსაიტი or app to find your nearest digital TV transmitters and their precise compass headings. This will help you determine the optimal direction for your antenna.

4. Outdoor Mounting (Roof/Wall)

1. მონიშნეთ პოზიცია: Mark the mast base position on your desired surface (e.g., roof, wall).
2. საბურღი ხვრელები: Drill 1.5-inch deep holes with a 3/16-inch drill bit for each mounting bolt.
3. Apply Sealing Pads: Place sealing pads over each drilled hole. Push an indentation into each pad to align with the holes.
4. უსაფრთხო ბაზა: Place the J-mount base on top of the sealing pads and use a ratchet or drill to tighten the bolts, securing the base to the surface.
5. Adjust Mast: Before installing the antenna, ensure the mast is adjusted to be vertical.

5. Final Antenna Attachment

1. Slide the assembled antenna over the top of the J-mount mast.
2. Loosely tighten the antenna into place using the adjustable mast clamp.
3. Place the mount base end cap onto the J-mount mast.

6. თქვენს ტელევიზორთან დაკავშირება
