Digital Signal
Preamplifier
For Outdoor Antennas
TVPRAMP1R User’s Guide
The TVPRAMP1R is designed specifically to improve the performance of outdoor antennas in low signal strength areas, extending antenna range to give you the most channels and best reception possible. The TVPRAMP1R is engineered for digital signals, so it outperforms old preamps made for analog.
Preamplifier Installation
1.Set the VHF/UHF and FM TRAP switches on the bottom of the preamplifier.
5.Connect the other end(s) of the antenna downlead(s) to the preamplifier.
If you’re using separate UHF and VHF antennas, connect the separate downleads to their dedicated jacks on the preamplifier.
If you’re using a combined UHF/VHF antenna, connect the single downlead to the UHF/ COMBINED INPUT jack on the preamplifier.
Slide the weather boot(s) over the cable connector(s) and boot collar(s) on the preamplifier.
6.Connect to the power injector and TV/digital converter box.
By default, the preamplifier is set
to work with a single, combined VHF/UHF antenna. If you want to use it with separate VHF and
UHF antennas, use a small flathead screwdriver to set the switch on the bottom of the preamplifier to SEPARATE. (The switch is protected by a weatherproof cover that you’ll have to remove first.)
The preamplifier’s FM Trap is set
Connect the downlead cable from the preamplifier to the TO ANT jack on the power injector.
Make sure your TV or digital converter box is turned off. Then attach the power injector’s built- in coaxial cable to the antenna input jack on your TV or digital converter box.

to ON by default. If you would like to turn it off, use a small
flathead screwdriver to set this
switch to OFF. (The switch is protected by a weatherproof cover that you’ll have to remove first.)
NOTE: For best perfomance, keep the FM trap in the ON position. If you use your antenna for FM as well as for TV broadcasts, switch the FM trap off. Please note, however, that switching the FM trap off may affect TV reception performance.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the weatherproof covers for these switches are back in place before you mount the preamplifier to your antenna mast.
7.Plug the power injector’s power cord into a standard wall outlet or surge protector.
The power injector must be plugged in INSIDE your house.
