3.2. Koppel die antenna

Koppel koaksiale kabel: Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the 'ANT IN' port on the Smart Boost System amplewendiger.
Koppel aan TV: Connect another coaxial cable from the 'TV' output on the Smart Boost System to the 'Ant In' or 'Cable In' port on the back of your HDTV or TV converter box.
Koppel kragadapter: Plug the power adapter into the Smart Boost System and then into a power outlet.
Second Device Connection (Optional): If connecting a second device (e.g., FM stereo, second TV, streaming device), connect a coaxial cable from the 'TV/FM/Device' output on the Smart Boost System to the respective input on your second device.

3.3. TV-opstelling

TV Input/Source: Set your TV's input or source to 'Antenna' or 'Air'.
Kanaalskandering: Access your TV's setup menu and perform a 'Channel Search' or 'Channel Scan'. This process may take several minutes.

4.1. Adjusting Reception with Smart Boost System

Smart Boost System Amplifier Dial — Figure 5: Close-up of the Smart Boost System amplifier with its adjustable dial. The dial allows users to fine-tune the antenna's reception power from minimum (0 miles) to maximum (85 miles) range.

The Smart Boost System features an adjustment dial to optimize signal reception based on your location's specific needs. Turn the dial to balance the reception range from 0 to 85 miles.

Short Range (within 35 Miles): If you are very close to broadcast towers, a lower setting (closer to 'MIN' or '0') might be better to prevent signal overload.
Long Range (up to 85 Miles): For greater distances from broadcast towers, adjust the dial towards 'MAX' or '85' to amplify weaker signals.
Fyn instelling: Experiment with different dial positions and perform a channel scan after each adjustment to find the optimal setting for the best picture quality and number of channels.

4.2. Using the FM Antenna Feature

The integrated FM antenna allows you to receive local FM radio stations. Connect the 'TV/FM/Device' output of the Smart Boost System to your FM stereo receiver's antenna input. Tune your FM receiver to scan for available radio stations.

6. Probleemoplossing

If you experience issues with your antenna, refer to the following common solutions:

Probleem	Moontlike oorsaak/oplossing
Geen sein of swak beeldkwaliteit	Antenna plasing: Try repositioning the antenna. Higher locations and windows often yield better results. Kanaalskandering: Perform a new channel scan on your TV after any antenna adjustments. Smart Boost System Dial: Pas die amplifier dial. If too close to broadcast towers, a lower setting might be better; if far, a higher setting. Kabelverbindings: Ensure all coaxial cables are securely connected. Obstruksies: Large obstructions (buildings, trees, terrain) can block signals.
Missing specific channels	Rigtingaanpassing: While the antenna is multi-directional, slight adjustments in orientation can sometimes improve reception for specific channels. VHF Rods: Ensure VHF enhancer rods are properly attached if you are trying to receive VHF channels. Seinsterkte: Some channels may have weaker signals in your area. Check dtv.gov for signal strength information.
Interference from mobile signals	The built-in 4G LTE filter should mitigate this. Ensure the amplifier is powered correctly. Try moving the antenna away from mobile devices or cellular towers if possible.
