the supporting plate at the back of the  
antenna (the maximum angle of opening  
is 120 degrees).  
3 Get started  
To ensure the antenna to work properly, read  
the user manual of your television before you  
start. Set the television so that it receives the  
signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or  
SATELLITE.  
Installation  
Determine the signal strength  
Before Installation, determine the best  
location for optimum reception. It is important  
for the antenna to have an unobstructed path  
to the transmitter. For best results, ensure the  
antenna faces the location of the transmitter.  
Note  
Choose a location near a window which gives  
the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.  
Note  
Place the antenna away from the metal surface  
to avoid interference.

a received radio frequency signal or radiates a  
transmitted RF signal.  
C
Coaxial  
A single copper conductor, surrounded with  
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding  
copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket.  
An unbalanced transmission line with constant  
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly  
used for low level, line signals terminated in  
RCA connectors.
