source that supplies 12V DC and
delivers at least 500 mA. Its center
tip must be set to positive and its
plug must fit the antenna's DC 12V jack. The
supplied adapter meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the antenna or
the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
antenna before you connect it to AC power.
When you finish, disconnect the adapter from
AC power before you disconnect it from the
antenna.

• Your local RadioShack store has accessories
you can use to connect the antenna to your
TV set or FM receiver if they do not have a
75-ohm antenna terminal.
• We recommend you using your existing TV
remote control to learn channel and antenna
angle settings so you can control your TV and
this antenna synchronously.
• If the antenna does not learn the remote
control signals properly, adjust the distance
between them until the antenna learns the
signal.
• The antenna is preset to learn 15 function
signals in sequence. If you do not press the
keys in the same sequence as Step 4, the
antenna may not function properly.
• The antenna learns one key at a time. Each
