Posició de l'antena: Adjust the main panel of the antenna by tilting and swiveling it to find the best orientation for signal reception.

6. Funcionament

After setup, perform a channel scan on your television:

Accés al menú del televisor: Turn on your television and press the "Menu" or "Settings" button on your TV remote control.
Select Input/Source: Navigate to the input or source selection and ensure it is set to "Antenna" or "Air".
Realitza l'escaneig de canals: Look for an option like "Channel Scan," "Auto Program," "Auto Tune," or "Cerca Channels" in your TV's menu. Select this option to begin scanning for available channels. This process may take several minutes.
Adjust Antenna for Best Reception: After the scan, if you are not receiving all desired channels or if the picture quality is poor, try repositioning the antenna (tilting, swiveling, adjusting dipoles) and then perform another channel scan. Repeat this process until you achieve the best possible reception.
Adjust Gain Control (if applicable): If your antenna has a gain control knob, experiment with different settings. A higher gain may boost weak signals, but too high a gain can sometimes overload strong signals, leading to distortion.

Nota: The number and quality of channels received depend on various factors, including distance from broadcast towers, terrain, building materials, and electromagnetic interference.
