TIP: The amplier has a 3-way DUAL / PREAMP /
BYPASS switch that lets you adjust the amplier for
different TV signals. The DUAL position uses both
external amplier and the preamp built into the
antenna itself. The PREAMP position uses just the
pramp. The BYPASS position turns all amplication off.
Most TV channels will perform better with this switch
left in the DUAL position. However, if a channel is not
providing the performance you expect, try watching it
with this switch in the PREAMP or BYPASS position to
see if that makes a difference.

Most TVs have a channel scan option in their menu
system, many times in a SETUP or CHANNEL menu
under ANTENNA. For detailed instructions on
performing a channel scan, see the owner’s manual
that came with your TV.
Important: You must perform a channel scan to
receive any channels!
Scan for channels on your TV.
IMPORTANT: For some channels you might get better
performance with the antenna in a different position or
facing a different direction. Sometimes just a little bit of
adjustment can make a difference!
