Installation and Use of the Terk HDTVI Indoor Antenna

Installation and Use of the Terk HDTVI Indoor Antenna

Installing 

Assembly: Insert the UHF receiving elements into the antenna base until the curved line on the UHF element is completely inside the housing and you have a snug fit. See Fig. 1. Note: The receiving elements may either be inserted vertically or horizontally depending on which way gives you a stronger signal. See Fig. 2,3.

Connecting Your HDTVi: Connect the coaxial cable from your HDTVi to the “F” connector input marked ANT/AIR IN or VHF/UHF on your TV or set-top box. See Fig. 4.

Locating Your HDTVi: Your HDTVi is a precision instrument and should be placed in a location that is best for receiving TV signals. Your HDTVi can be placed on top of any standard TV for ease of adjustment.

Operating

1. Rotate the antenna base so that the small end of the UHF element faces the broadcast tower to seek the best quality picture. See Fig. 5.
   
   Use the web to find where the broadcast towers are located:
   1. Go to www. terk.com and click the “Antenna Locator.”
   2. Enter your home’s address and then “Submit.”
   3. Click “View Street Level Map” to see which direction you should point your antenna towards.
2. Once you have positioned the UHF elements to receive the best UHF picture channels 14-69, then extend the two dipoles. For best results on channels 2 through 6, extend the dipoles to their full length and position them horizontally. For channels 7 through 13, shorten the dipole elements and place at a "V" angle as required.

Please Note:

• Do not place your HDTVi near large metal objects or appliances that could create interference.
• Do not lift your HDTVi by its receiving elements or place objects on them.
• Do not force the dipoles past their normal rotation positions.
• Late model televisions have on-screen menu controls for viewing VHF/UHF “Off-Air” or cable broadcasts. Please ensure that this menu control is at the proper “Off-Air” position.
