ANT1000	Assembly and Usage Instructions
Flat Indoor Antenna

Finding the best location for the antenna

Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your home for optimum reception. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see where your local broadcasts are coming from. Then, try as much as possible to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your antenna.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ANTENNA PLACEMENT: Although the ANT1000 may perform well when placed near or on electronics such as TVs, these electronics may also interfere with the antenna’s reception. If you experience reception difficulties with the ANT1000, try moving it away from your TV or other nearby electronic devices.

The ANT1000 works when on a flat surface or stretched horizontally on a wall or window. It will not work when stretched vertically on a wall or window.

Note: Many times the best location for the antenna is close to or on a window. You can use two-sided tape to mount to a window pane.

Assembling the ANT1000

IMPORTANT: Remove protective film from the antenna wing sections before assembling the antenna.

1.Remove all parts from the box. The ANT1000 antenna package includes the following items:

1 Middle Section	2	Antenna Wing Sections
(with coaxial cable)	3	Screws and Nuts

2.Unscrew the three screws holding the middle section together. Remove the top of the middle section. Uncoil and extend the coaxial cable built into this section.

3.Flip the top of the middle

Middle section	section over. Be careful to keep
	the three screws in the holes!
	Set the middle section top on
	a flat surface, with the cable
	extending toward you.

4. Place the holes of one of the wing sections over top right and middle screws. The letters AB printed on the wing should be visible in the upper left corner of the wing.

IMPORTANT: The antenna wing must be installed in this position first!

5. Place the holes of the second wing over top of lower left and middle screws. The wings will slightly overlap. The AB printed on the wing should appear at the lower right (upside down).

6. Place the bottom of the

	middle section on the middle
3 Nuts	section top. Make sure to line
	up with the pegs at the top
	and the holes with the screws.

7.Flip the entire assembly over and carefully tighten the screws. DO NOT over tighten.

8.Connect the coaxial cable to your TV’s antenna input.

Note about digital channels

To display digital signals on your TV, you’ll need to have the right equipment: either a TV that is capable of decoding digital signals or a digital converter box.

Troubleshooting

I have a cable ready TV. Why can’t I get channels above 13? The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes: one for cable and one for antenna. When the TV is in cable mode, and you are using an antenna, you will not be able to receive any channels above

13.To fix this, simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV from Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode.

I have my TV in a metal cabinet. Will the antenna work for me? Any large metal objects will prevent the antenna signal from reaching the antenna. You must place the antenna outside of or above the metal cabinet.

My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I place my antenna?

Place the antenna near a window to minimize interference and improve your reception.

Can I use my antenna in a basement?

TV signals usually cannot penetrate into basement locations due to their lower elevation.

Please Note: Other variables, unrelated to antenna performance, can effect your reception. These include distance from the broadcasting source, and natural or man-made conditions (such as buildings between the transmitting source and your antenna).
