About Your TERK

FDTV1a Flat Antenna

Thank you for choosing the TERK FDTV1a. TERK

antennas are designed to deliver sharp, clear

reception of digital signals. At TERK, our engineering

department is dedicated to designing antennas

that enhance both the latest technology and the

aesthetics of any viewing environment. The FDTV1a

installs in minutes and is easy to use. The FDTV1a

has a patented design that lets it receive signals from

360-degrees and work in both the horizontal and

vertical planes, which means it requires virtually no

adjustments once you’ve put it in place.

Before using your antenna, please remove all parts

from the box and read this owner’s manual carefully.

The FDTV1a antenna package includes the following

items:

1 FDTV1a Antenna Pro with Built-In Coaxial Cable

1 Removable Multi-Purpose Stand/Wall Mount with

screws for attachment

1 Power Adapter

1 Removable In-Line Amplifier with Built-In Coaxial

Cable

Installing your FDTV1a

antenna

Find 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.

Positioning the Antenna

Once you’ve found the best place to set up your

antenna, you have three options for placing it—you

can lay it flat, hang it on the wall, or stand it upright.

The antenna is designed to perform equally well in all

three positions. For most settings, the recommended

position is lying flat, attached to the included stand.

However, the best position for your antenna may vary

depending on your location and setting. Television

signal waves bounce off of objects, causing signal

reflections that might cause the antenna to perform

better in one location or orientation over others. Test

the antenna in the different positions before putting it

in its permanent position.

Please Note: Do not place your FDTV1a near large

metal objects or appliances that could create

interference.

Installation (continued)

Attaching the Multi-Purpose

Stand/Wall Mount

The Multi-Purpose Stand/Wall Mount attaches to

the FDTV1a two ways: to the back for laying flat or

mounting to the wall, or to the bottom for standing the

antenna upright.

To lay the FDTV1a flat or mount it to your wall:

1. Push the screws through the holes on the bottom of

the stand.

2. Line the stand up with

the holes on the back

of the antenna. Use a

Phillips-head screwdriver

to attach the stand to

the back of the antenna.

Make sure not to

overtighten the screws.

To stand the FDTV1a upright:

1. Push the screws through the holes on the bottom of

the stand.

2. Line the stand up with

the holes on the bottom

of the antenna. Use a

Phillips-head screwdriver

to attach the stand to the

bottom of the antenna.

Make sure not to

overtighten the screws.

Installation (continued)

Connecting the FDTV1a

You can use the FDTV1a with or without its amplifier,

depending on which connection gives you the

best signal. Using the amplifier provides the best

performance in most situations, so try using it first. If

you notice that you’ve lost channels that you normally

receive, try connecting without the amplifier.

You can connect the FDTV1a directly to your TV or use

it with a converter box or other tuning device with an

antenna input (such as a cable box or satellite receiver).

Troubleshooting

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?

Large metal objects may prevent the antenna signal from

reaching the antenna. Try placing the antenna outside of or

above the metal cabinet. If you decide to keep the FDTV1a on

a metal cabinet, use it in the upright position.

My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I

place my antenna?

If you observe poor performance, 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.
