3) Each antenna will have instructions to mount the antenna. Once assembled and mounted, attach in the cox cable to the back of the antenna. Do not fully connect it as there will be further adjusting to do to get channels

4) From the antennna, run the coax cable to your ATSC tuner or digital converter box. Try to keep the distance of the coax as short as possible.

5) Now it is time to fine tune the antenna for recpetion. This is best done by having another person in front of the tv while you adjust the antenna to get the clearest signal quality.

6) Using the main menu on your High Defenition TV or converter box, select "auto program" or "auto scan"
