Antenna Grounding & Connection - GE 34140 User Manual

8) SCAN FOR CHANNELS ON YOUR TV. This step is very
important. Your TV will NOT receive signals from the
antenna without doing a channel scan. See your TV's
menu screen for this process or refer to the instruction
manual that came with your TV.
Note: It is important to repeat this process and re-scan
for channels anytime you move or re-position the
antenna. It is also a good practice to repeat this
process from time to time in case there are changes
to the available TV signals in your area. If you ever
lose a channel, a re-scan may be all that is needed to
pick up that station again.

Antenna Grounding & Connection
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires your outdoor
antenna installation to be properly grounded. This involves
grounding the antenna. This helps protect you and your
property in the event of static build up on the antenna or
lightning near your home.
Note: If you previously had a satellite or cable system
installed at your home, you may be able to use some of the
parts from this system for your antenna installation.
1) Connect one end of a coax cable to the antenna and
the other end to a 75 ohm grounding block (not provided).
Below (Fig. 1a) is an example of a 75 ohm grounding
block.
