HUse good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the HDTV Digital Receiver. Do not use 300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.

HPlace the antenna away from large metal objects. If using an indoor antenna, remember that aluminum siding and foil-covered insulation can greatly reduce the signal strength inside your house.

HPoint the antenna in the direction of the TV station. Allow a 4-6 second delay in tuning. Watch for a program to appear on the TV. If the signal indicator is “NOT FOUND” or if a program comes and goes, try a slightly different position for the antenna. Slowly raising or lowering the antenna by a few feet may help.

HAvoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position. Move a few feet to the rear to avoid changing the signal characteristics.

HIf you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in different directions, you may need an antenna rotator to receive signals from both stations.
