Amplifier
AMP / BYPASS switch lets you turn the amplifier
for TV signals on (AMP) or off (BYPASS). Most
TV channels will perform better with this switch
left in the AMP position. However, if a channel is
not providing the performance you expect, try
watching it with this switch in the BYPASS position
to see if that makes a difference.

Antenna Reception Problems
I’m having trouble receiving certain channels.
• There are lots of factors that can affect your reception. Tall buildings, mature trees, even hills between
you and the broadcast towers can interfere and change the direction of the signals you receive. You
might still need to make adjustments after you position the antenna to account for these factors. Any
time you change the antenna’s position, make sure you re-scan for channels on your TV or digital TV
converter box. The channels you receive may have changed.
• Is the antenna sitting on a metal surface (like a metal stand)? Move it to a non-metal surface (metal
interferes with reception).
• Try using the antenna without the amplifier. Move the switch on the Xtend’s amplifier to the BYPASS
position.
• Move the antenna close to a window. Some construction materials (such as aluminum siding) make it
more difficult to get good reception. Re-scan for channels when you’re finished.
• Position the antenna as high as possible. Most of the time, this increases your chances of reception. Re-
scan for channels when you’re finished.
• Make sure you uncoil the antenna’s cable completely. Leaving it coiled will reduce reception
performance.
