Antenna Grounding & Connection - GE 42179 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: Scan for channels anytime you move 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 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. It helps protect you and your property
in the event of static build up on the antenna or lightning near
your home.
Note: If you 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 75ohm grounding block (not provided).
Below (Fig. 1a) is an example of a 75ohm grounding
block.
