Congratulations on your purchase of the ANT1150F Ultra-Thin Indoor Amplified HDTV  
Antenna. This antenna’s paper-thin design lets you hang it virtually anywhere on walls  
or windows. Its 12-foot cable gives you room to roam to find the best spot for optimum  
reception, with an multi-directional reception pattern that gets signals from every direction.  
And this antenna’s new amplifier design outperforms all other brands.  
Multi-Directional Antennas  
An RCA multi-directional antenna is able to receive signals from any direction. Useful  
for both analog and digital reception, the ANT1150F has a paper-thin design that hangs  
virtually anywhere. The patented multi-directional technology ensures that the antenna  
does not need to be adjusted according to the location of the transmitting signal.

Setting Up the ANT1150F  
Find the best location for the antenna  
Before you connect the antenna, determine the best spot in your home for optimum  
Then, try as much as possible to avoid obstructions between these transmitters and your  
antenna.  
It is highly recommended that the flat surface of the antenna should face the broadcast  
tower or as close as practical.  
Because of its multi-directional capabilities, the ANT1150F receives UHF, VHF, and local  
high-definition broadcasts, providing quality reception from most locations.  
Note: Placing the antenna on a metal surface may interfere with reception. If the antenna  
isn’t performing as well as expected, try placing it on another surface. Then, re-scan for  
channels on your TV or converter box.  
Test the Location  
Broadcast signal strength can vary significantly inside your home even within the same  
room. In most homes, the best signal strength will usually be in a window or as high on the  
wall as possible.  
Before you mount the antenna to the wall using the provided mounting tape, it’s a good  
idea to test the location you want to use. Temporarily mount the antenna using 2-3 pieces  
of scotch tape. Then continue with the connection instructions below. Once you’ve scanned  
for channels on your TV, you’ll be able to tell if this is a good location to use or not. If it  
is, you can continue with the mounting instructions that follow. If it isn’t, you can try for  
better channel scan results with the antenna in a different location in the room.

Connecting the ANT1150F to Your TV  
1. Make sure your TV is turned off.  
2. Connect the ANT1150F’s built-in cable to the antenna  
input on your TV.  
Important: Make sure you uncoil the antenna’s coaxial cable  
completely. Leaving it coiled will reduce reception performance.

3. Plug one end of the included USB to mini-USB cable  
into the amplifier on the ANT1150F’s built-in cable.  
4. Plug the other end of the included USB to mini-USB  
cable into the power adapter provided.  
Note: If your TV has a USB power outlet, you can plug the USB  
to mini-USB cable directly into it for power instead of using  
the power adapter. If you use a TV USB power outlet, you can  
skip step 5.  
5. Plug the power adapter’s power cord into an electrical  
outlet.  
Important: This power unit should be plugged in so that it stays  
vertical or lies flat.  
6. Scan for channels on your TV.  
Note: You can bypass the amplifier on this antenna if you notice  
that some channels are not coming in as consistently as you’d  
expect. Simply unplug the power supply (see step 3). This bypasses  
the amplifier.

Mounting the Antenna to the Wall  
Once you’ve confirmed the best location for your antenna and scanned for channels, you’re  
ready to mount the antenna to that location, using the mounting strips included. If you  
decide to move the antenna after you’ve mounted it, no problem: the mounting strips  
detach from the wall easily, without harming your wall’s surface, and are easily replaceable at  
most retail and drug stores.  
Caution: DO NOT use the mounting strips with wallpaper. The mounting strips may not adhere  
well to vinyl surfaces. Apply to surfaces above 50°F (10°C). Adhesive could lose adhesion above  
105°F (40°C).  
Note: The antenna also has two holes along its top edge for hanging it using screws or tacks (not  
included).  
To mount the antenna using the mounting strips:  
1. Clean the surface of the location with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Wipe gently, then let  
the area dry.  
Important: Do not use household cleaners.  
2. While the area is drying, separate the mounting strips. Snap them apart length-wise first,  
then snap each of the resulting strips in half.  
3. Remove the red liner. Press the adhesive strip onto one of the top corners of the back of  
the antenna. Repeat for the other top corner. Then place a single mounting strip on the  
metal section in the bottom middle of the antenna, with the strip facing down.

4. Remove the black liner for each strip.  
5. Line up the antenna where you want to put it, then press it against the wall for 10  
seconds.  
6. Stop pressing the antenna against the wall and confirm that it’s firmly attached to the  
wall. Then press an additional 30 seconds.  
Important: The mounting strips have tabs that extend beyond the borders of the adhesive. Leave  
these in place--they will allow you to remove the antenna without damaging your wall.

To remove the antenna (and mounting strips) from the  
wall:  
1. Hold the antenna against the wall gently to keep it in  
place. DO NOT press the antenna against wall.  
2. Find the tab for the single mounting strip at the bottom  
of the antenna (on the metal part). Stretch the tab  
straight down (away from the antenna) at least 12 inches  
until the strip releases.  
Important: NEVER pull the strip tab towards you.  
3. Pull the antenna off the wall slightly so that you can  
reach the tabs for the two mounting strips at the top of  
the antenna. Repeat step 2 for each of these tabs as well.  
Note: If you cant reach the tabs, you can remove the antenna  
from the mounting strips using a piece of dental floss. Gently run  
the floss behind the antenna, between the strips and the antenna,  
until the strips separate. Then perform step 2 above for each of  
the strips by themselves.  
4. Remove the mounting strips from the antenna.  
If you want to mount the antenna to the wall again, you  
can find replacement strips at most retail or drug stores.  
To mount the antenna using thumbtacks  
(not included):  
Insert two thumbtacks (not included) into  
the two holes on the top of the antenna.  
Hold the thumbtacks in place and lower the  
holes onto the thumbtacks. Make sure to line  
up the holes with the thumbtacks.

Coaxial Cable Installation Precautions  
• Do not bend coaxial cables into less than a three-inch radius. Tighter bends can cause  
shorts and can change a cable’s impedance.  
• Do not install a coaxial cable where it will have a pulling tension greater than 15 pounds  
during installation. After installation, make sure there is no tension on the cable.  
• Use only round-headed staples. Any clamps or securing devices used with coax should  
grip the cable evenly about the circumference without crushing the cable. Flat staples can  
damage the coaxial cable.  
• Do not expose a coaxial cable to a temperature greater than 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep  
the cable away from heating vents and water heaters.  
• Make sure you uncoil the antenna’s coaxial cable completely. Leaving it coiled will reduce  
reception performance.
