reception.
Different channels may require different antenna
adjustments. If you find that you're not receiving
channels you normally receive, try the following
adjustments in the order listed here:
> Extend the antenna's dipoles (rods) and rotate
them until you get the best picture. (Depending on
the channel's frequency, this may or may not have
any effect.)
> Try the channel without the antenna's amplifier—
set the amplifier on/off switch on the antenna's
back panel to OFF. (Don't forget to turn the
amplifier back on for other channels!)
> Rotate the base of the antenna until you get the
best picture. (Don't forget to move it back to its
original position for the other channels.)

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.
Important: You must perform a channel scan to
