(150-1611)                 Troubleshooting            Faxback Doc. # 31402

The Archer Amplifier Antenna is designed for dependable service under a
variety of installation conditions and should provide years of excellent
TV/FM reception.  However, if you do have problems, the answer is probably
listed below.  If, after trying all the solutions listed, your problem is
not resolved go to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

NO RECEPTION

     Check all connections to your antenna, power injector, and TV.

     Make sure you are in range of the desired stations - especially
     with mobile installations.

POOR RECEPTION

    Make sure you are in range of the desired stations - especially with
    mobile installations.

    Be sure the antenna is pointed in the proper direction.

    Check if the stations is close to your location.  The amplifier in this
    Antenna is very powerful and could provide too much signal for your TV,
    if the stations is close by.  In such cases you may use a variable
    attenuator, such as our 15-578.

INTERFERENCE

    A herringbone pattern in your picture might be caused by a nearby FM
    radio station.  In such cases you may use an FM trap, such as our
    15-557.  Connect it between the VHF/UHF/FM splitter and the TV, on the
    VHF signal side.

    Other sources, such as CB or HAM radio, might also cause interference.
    In such cases you may use a filter, such as our 15-579.  Connect it
    between the VHF/UHF/FM splitter and the TV, on the VHF signal side.

NOTE:  The use of the above filters and attenuator will require additional
       75-to-300 ohm transformers and/or a different type of  VHF/UHF/FM
       splitter (not supplied).
