English ANT1700F Hardware Before attempting to use your antenna, please remove all parts from the box and read the instructions carefully The ANT1700F antenna package includes the following items:. 1 ANT1700F Multi-Directional Slim Digital Antenna with Built-In 6' Coaxial Cable Removable Foot Stand Setting Up the ANT1700F Find the best location for the antenna Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your home for optimum reception. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see where your local broadcasts are coming from. Then, try as much as possible to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your antenna. Because of its multi-directional capabilities, the ANT1700F receives UHF, VHF, and local high-definition broadcasts, providing quality reception from most locations. Note: The ANT1700F may work well sitting on your TV or other components. However, because electronic components can sometimes interfere with the antenna's reception, you might notice an effect on the antenna's performance. Likewise, placing the antenna on a metal surface may interfere with reception. If the antenna isn't performing as well as expected, try moving it away from the component or placing it on another surface. Then, re-scan for channels on your TV or converter box. Positioning the Antenna After locating the optimal position for your antenna, choose from one of three options: • Lay the ANT1700F flat The ANT1700F has raised feet on its bottom to prevent scratching of furniture. Make sure you place the antenna on a flat, level surface. Note: This is the position that usually gives optimal performance. • Hang the ANT1700F The back of the ANT1700F antenna has two mounting holes that can be used for hanging. Place both holes over screws inserted in your wall. A higher placement may deliver better performance. • Stand the ANT1700F upright The ANT1700F comes with a removable stand. Simply place the antenna in the stand to prop the antenna in an upright position. 2
