Setting Up the ANT1400
Find 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.
Because of its multi-directional capabilities, the ANT1400 receives UHF, VHF, and local
high-definition broadcasts, providing quality reception from most locations.
Note: The ANT1400 may work well sitting on your TV or other components. However, because
electronic components can sometimes interfere with the antenna’s reception, you might notice an effect
on the antenna’s performance. Likewise, placing the antenna on a metal surface may interfere with
reception. If the antenna isn’t performing as well as expected, try moving it away from the component
or placing it on another surface. Then, re-scan for channels on your TV or converter box.
Positioning the Antenna
After locating the optimal position for your antenna, choose from one of two options:
•
Lay the ANT1400 flat
The ANT1400 has raised feet on its bottom to prevent
scratching of furniture. Make sure you place the antenna on a flat, level surface.
Note: This is the position that usually gives optimal performance.
•
Hang the ANT1400
The back of the ANT1400 antenna has two mounting holes that
can be used for hanging. Place both holes over screws inserted in your wall.
Connecting the ANT1400
You can connect the ANT1400 directly to your TV or use it with a converter box.
