The FinestraMiner works 
best when it is placed near 
a window with minimal 
external obstructions.

 
Depending on the window, and 
availability of a power outlet, 
you may even attach it to a 
window pane using the 
adhesive base.

  
Follow the instructions in 

 

“Mounting your FinestraMiner”

.

Peel it.

  

FinestraMiner comes equipped with a 
reusable adhesive base. This allows it to be 
placed in the most advantageous indoor 
locations for best performance - even 
sloping or vertical surfaces which are flat 
and smooth. 

2

Do not place the
FinestraMiner near a metal 
mesh, screens or large 
metallic objects.

 

Water tanks or even large 
vehicles such as a truck parked 
outside could affect 
performance.

  
Also do try to ensure that any 
other electronic devices are 
placed a few feet away from 
FinestraMiner.

2

Stick it.

  

Activate the reusable backing by peeling 
off the protective covering - use tweezers if 
needed. Once removed press your 
FinestraMiner firmly against any flat 
smooth surface you planned to mount it 
on.

3

Remove it. Move it.

  

To remove or move your FinestraMiner just 
grasp the edges firmly and pull away with a 
twisting motion to lift one of the edges. 
Then pull away further to separate it from 
the surface. Do not try to forcibly pull 
FinestraMiner directly away from a surface
- always pull back with a twisting motion.

Wipe each time.

  

Each time you remove FinestraMiner, wipe 
the adhesive backing with a clean damp 
cloth to refresh the stickiness. Make sure 
that backing is completely dry before use.
