Connecting the ANT1650

You can use the ANT1650 with or without its amplifier, depending on which connection gives you the best signal. Try using the amplifier first. If you notice that you’ve lost channels that you normally receive, try connecting without the amplifier.

Note: If you find that some channels require the amplifier while others do not, try unplugging the power supply for the amplifier for those channels not requiring amplification.

You can connect the ANT1650 directly to your TV or use it with a converter box.
