RCA ANT1000 Merkblatt

Middle section

To display digital signals on your TV, you’ll need to have the right 

equipment: either a TV that is capable of decoding digital signals 

or a digital converter box.

The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes: one for cable 

and one for antenna. When the TV is in cable mode, and you are 

using an antenna, you will not be able to receive any channels above 

13. To fix this, simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV 

from Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode.
I have my TV in a metal cabinet. Will the antenna work for me?
Any large metal objects will prevent the antenna signal from 

reaching the antenna. You must place the antenna outside of or 

above the metal cabinet.
My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I place 

my antenna?
Place the antenna near a window to minimize interference and 

improve your reception.
Can I use my antenna in a basement?

TV signals usually cannot penetrate into basement locations due to 

their lower elevation.
Please Note: Other variables, unrelated to antenna performance, 

can effect your reception. These include distance from the 

broadcasting source, and natural or man-made conditions (such as 

buildings between the transmitting source and your antenna).

3. Flip the top of the middle 

section over. Be careful to keep 

the three screws in the holes! 

Set the middle section top on 

a flat surface, with the cable 

extending toward you. 

7. Flip the entire assembly over and carefully tighten the screws. 

DO NOT over tighten.

8. Connect the coaxial cable to your TV’s antenna input. 

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.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ANTENNA PLACEMENT: 

Although the ANT1000 may perform well when placed near or on 

electronics such as TVs, these electronics may also interfere with 

the antenna’s reception. If you experience reception difficulties 

with the ANT1000, try moving it away from your TV or other 

nearby electronic devices.
The ANT1000 works when on a flat surface or stretched horizontally 

on a wall or window. It will not work when stretched vertically on a 

wall or window.
Note: Many times the best location for the antenna is close to or on a

upper left corner of the wing.

  IMPORTANT: The antenna 

wing must be installed in this 

position first!

5. Place the holes of the second 

wing over top of lower left 

and middle screws. The wings 

will slightly overlap. The AB 

printed on the wing should 

appear at the lower right
