VDC source, and route downlead cable to this location.

Make a 12 volt connection to the power supply. Install the supplied terminals on wires from +12 VDC source, and crimp the terminals with an appropriate crimping tool.

Push the wires onto tabs on the back of the power supply. (“PWR” and “GND” are also noted on the underside of the power supply electronics board.)

Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the “ANTENNA” port on the power supply, and tighten until fingertight. Then, tighten ¼ turn more.

on the power supply.

Mount the power supply in wall with the provided screws.

Connect a coax cable from the coax port on the front of the power supply to the “Antenna In” coax port on the main TV.

Press the “ON” switch on the front of the power supply, and check that the light is on.

This unit is equipped with a polyswitch, which will shut down +12 VDC if there is a direct short between the antenna and power supply. The indicator light will not

First time users must run a channel scan after installing the antenna to receive maximum programming.

A new scan will find any new channels that have been added in your area as well as finding any channels that have changed or moved since the last scan.

While the steps to perform a channel scan may vary between televisions or compatible devices, below are some general guidelines to follow. For more specific instructions, refer to your device user manual for assistance.

General Instructions

1.Using the remote that came with the TV or compatible device, select “Menu.”

2.Select “Channel Setup.”

3.Select “Antenna” or “Off-Air Mode” or “Auto-Scan.”

4.Select “Channel Search” or “Channel Scan.”

Run a channel scan in the following situations, as well:

Anytime the antenna is moved or enters a new region

Anytime a channel is lost

Once you have run a channel scan, you are ready to watch TV.

If hooking up the antenna to two televisions, connect a coax cable from

light. Once the short is eliminated, the device will reset itself.

If you are not receiving all desired channels, check out dtv.gov/maps. On this site, you can enter the address of your current location and get a listing of likely channels available in your area.
