Thank you for choosing an RCA amplified antenna. RCA amplified antennas are 
designed to give you the sharpest, clearest picture you can get. All RCA antennas

box and read this manual.

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.

Once you’ve found the best place for your antenna, connect it to your TV.

Note about digital channels
All RCA antennas are designed to receive both analog and digital signals. 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.

To switch between your antenna and cable/satellite or game system signals:
Move the Bypass switch to the BYPASS or GAME position. 

I have a cable ready TV. Why am I not getting any channels above 13?
The tuners inside of  cable ready TVs have two modes. One mode is for cable and 
the other mode is 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, which are not related to antenna performance, can 
effect your reception. These include distance from the source transmitting the 
desired station, and man-made and natural conditions. Example: Obstacles such as 
buildings between the transmitting source and your antenna.
