INSTALLATION
1. Mount the antenna. This can be mounted indoor
or outdoor. Mounting can be done vertical or
horizontal, on a wall (Figure 1), fence or a pole
(Figure 2). Mounting brackets are included.
a. Screw the two VHF rods onto both sides of
the back of the antenna.
b. The antenna should be generally pointing in
the direction provided by the report
obtained by entering your address into
NoCable.org
2. Connect the coaxial cable to the antenna. Take
the end of the long coaxial cable that has the
waterproof cap and attach it to the back of the
antenna (Figure 3). Slide the waterproof cap inside
the back of the antenna housing.

The other end of the coaxial cable needs to then
be fed into the home towards either a TV, an RF
splitter or a set-top box.
3. Connect the coaxial cable to the power inserter.
The end of the coaxial cable inside the home
needs to be connected to the coaxial input on the
power inserter. Ensure that all connections are
finger-tight.
4. Connect the power inserter to a power source.
Turn it on (red light will appear on).
5. Connect the power inserter’s coaxial cable to the
back of either a TV, an RF splitter or a set-top box
depending on your setup.
6. Scan for channels. In the TV’s setup menu, set the
mode to Broadcast, Antenna or Air (NOT CABLE),
then ask the TV to “scan” for new channels.
Consult your TV’s manual for detailed instructions.
7. Adjust antenna for best reception. Try various
positions, heights and directions to gain better
reception. Remember to rescan for channels after
each adjustment.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Did you remember to scan?
Before your TV can capture any channels, you need to
first set the TV to Broadcast, Antenna or Air mode (NOT
CABLE), then “scan” for channels. Without this step, your
antenna will not work. Here are some help links for
getting it to work for your TV: https://nocable.org/tvscan
Small Changes = Huge Differences
Typically, it is important to get your antenna setup as
high as possible in your home, and on a window or wall if
possible. Antennas typically need to be oriented or
"aimed" to get the best signal from the desired station.
DTV reception can often be improved just by changing
the location of your current antenna, even as little as a
few inches. Please remember to rerun your channel scan
each time you move the antenna to a new location. For
example, moving it away from other objects or placing it
higher or lower can sometimes improve reception. Be
sure to move the antenna slowly to allow time for the
signal received to be displayed.
Tip: Patience is usually rewarded here. Try as many
positions and orientations as you can. Signals can
sometimes be extremely finicky!

Do you have an older TV?
Was your TV made before 2006 or is it considered a
"display"? If you answered “yes” to either of those, you
will likely also need to purchase a digital converter box to
get any antenna to work properly. This is not common,
but worth exploring. More information on this can be
found here: https://nocable.org/oldtv
Get it high!
Height is usually the single best thing you can give an
antenna for improved reception. Slight changes in
positioning also help, but you need to be patient and try
as many places as you can... the slightest change can
sometimes make an ENORMOUS difference.
