How to use

Choose a mounting location that balances signal exposure and practical access to a 5V USB power source. For indoor use, place the antenna near a window or elevated position to improve line-of-sight to broadcast towers. For outdoor use, mount securely on a balcony, mast, or roof following local installation safety guidelines. Connect the antenna cable to the TV or set-top box RF input and plug the USB cable into a 5V USB power adapter or a USB port on the TV or receiver. Scan for channels on the TV or receiver after power is applied to the amplifier.

Recommendations

To achieve best results, start with the antenna in multiple positions to identify the location with the most stable reception before final mounting; ensure the USB power source provides a stable 5V output and use shielded coaxial cable where possible to minimise external interference.
