Troubleshooting
Industry Canada Regulatory Information
CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3 (B)
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.

Welcome!
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
are easy to set up and use. Before you get started, remove all the parts from the
box and read this manual.
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.
Finding 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.
Can I use my antenna in a basement?
TV signals usually cannot penetrate into basement locations due to their lower
elevation.
Note: Many times the best location for the antenna is close to a window.
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.
