[. . . ] This antenna will work in areas where others completely fail or provide marginal results with part time reception. Note: For final installation and connection of your antenna, a dditional hard w a re may be re q u i red. B e fo re starting assembly, please read through the instructions care f u l ly to determine your specific re q u i re m e n t s . [. . . ] If your DTV set top box or DTV tuner in your TV has a signal strength indicator (refer to that components user manual) you can utilize this feature for selecting a location for installation and aiming the antenna. Locate antenna in a high location with as few obstructions in front of, behind, or to the sides of the antenna as possible. Optimally the antenna needs to be at least 30 feet above the ground pointed directly in the "line of sight" of the broadcast antenna (Line of sight means that there are not any obstructions between the broadcast and receiving antenna such as buildings, water towers, mountains or trees. Line of sight does not mean you need to be able to see the broadcast antenna with your eye) If you are able to achieve this "line of site installation and do not have severe multi-path problems such as in a very dense high rise area, you will in most cases receive a good stable DTV and Analog TV picture. Connect the antenna to your DTV tuner with a good quality transmission line. Slowly rotate antenna on mounting mast in both directions until the highest signal strength is achieved on the DTV tuner. Check all DTV channels to make sure the signal is good on all channels you desire to receive from the DTV broadcast tower that you are pointing at. If you have two DTV broadcast towers in two distinct directions and are not able to receive all DTV stations broadcasting in your area install the antenna with a rotor. Watch DTV channel for a few minutes to make sure picture is consistently stable without freezing, disappearing or breaking up. For best results, do not run signal through diplexers or splitters, run new RG6 coaxial cable from antenna location directly to your DTV receiver. If you have a cable run of more than 100 feet or need to run through diplexers and/or splitters use a signal preamplifier that is installed as close to the antenna as possible. To avoid signal loss, do not attach the coaxial cable to the mast, use standoffs (fig. This method uses a conventional analog TV to chose the best spot for a DTV antenna. Place antenna in as high location with as few obstructions in front of behind or to the sides of the antenna as possible.
