Philips TV Antenna Rotator Directions

Philips antenna rotator turns the antenna for you with the push of a button.

TV antennas point in one direction to receive transmission waves from television stations in that direction. When TV stations are in a different direction, you need to go outside to the antenna and turn the pole to clarify the picture and sound on the TV. Philips manufactures an antenna rotator that stores the antenna direction for stations. You only have to press the memory letter corresponding to the best antenna direction for a station and the rotator turns the antenna for you.

Things You'll Need

• Rotator remote control

Instructions

1. Turn on the TV and tune it to a station. Press the left and right arrow keys on the remote control to obtain the best picture and sound on the station.

2. Push the "Memory" button on the remote control and select letter "A" on the remote control. This action stores the antenna direction for this channel.

3. Repeat this process to store antenna locations for the additional 11 memory location buttons.

4. Press the "Memory" button and then a location to replace any of the memory locations from "A" to "L" with a new location.

5. Clear the entire memory by turning the power on the control unit "Off" and pushing the "D" button on the remote. Hold the button and turn the power to "On." Continue holding the button until the left and right arrow signs quit flashing. Release the "D" button. Turn the power "Off" and then "On" once more.

Tips & Warnings

• You can store memory locations using the control unit or the remote control by pushing the same buttons in the same manner.

• Two or more stations might only require the use of one antenna location on the rotator.

• Make a list of which stations are linked to the letters on the remote control. This allows quick identification when changing channels for the best reception.

• After clearing the entire memory, the antenna and rotator need to be resynchronized as in the installation process. Strong storms might also unlink the antenna and controller so that synchronization is necessary.
