Water Damage Prevention:
At the point where your coaxial cable lead enters the house, you should allow for some slack in the coaxial
cable as a "drip loop." This will prevent moisture from running down the coaxial cable and entering the
house.
Run the coaxial cable approximately six inches below the wall entry point and then turn it upwards
towards this spot. Any moisture that accumulates on the coaxial cable will drip off in the bend instead
of running into the house. You should seal the point where the cable enters your home with a rubber
weather insulator or silicone caulking (not included). An "F" connector wall plate can be used inside the
home to cover the inside portion of the hole. You can typically find an "F" connector wall plate at any local
electronics or hardware store.

Scan for channels on your TV.
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.
Connect the built-in coaxial cable on the amplifier
insert to the antenna input jack on your TV or converter
box.

Note: If you want to split the signal coming from the
antenna, connect the short coaxial cable built into the
amplifier insert to your splitter (splitter sold separately).
DO NOT PUT THE SIGNAL SPLITTER BETWEEN THE
AMPLIFIER INSERT AND THE ANTENNA.
After all other connections are made, connect the
power adapter into the amplifier insert. Plug it into a
standard AC outlet.
Important: This power adapter should be plugged in so
that it stays vertical or lays flat.
The amplifier insert should always be located indoors.
TIP: The amplifier has a switch that lets
you adjust the amount of amplification
applied for different TV signals. The 10dB
position is recommended for most situations. Try the
25dB for weaker signals.
