Mounting the Antenna
The antenna mounting base and arm give you fl exibility in mounting the
antenna. The antenna can be mounted:
• To a surface, such as a rooftop, eaves, siding, or rafters in an
attic
-OR-
• To a standard mast (not included)
WARNING:
Never hang anything from the antenna; never attach foreign
objects to the antenna.
NOTES:
Do not install the antenna on any metal surface, including
aluminum siding. Mounting on a metal surface will seriously degrade
reception quality.
In most cases, the antenna provides the best performance when mounted
outdoors in a high location (such as on the roof or high up on the side of
your house). The antenna can also be mounted in an attic.
Finding the Right Location
Before you mount the antenna, consider the following factors in reception
performance:
• The antenna usually performs best when mounted horizontally
• The antenna should be mounted on the side of your house that faces
most of your local broadcast towers. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see
the locations of your local broadcast towers.
• The higher the elevation of the antenna, the better the reception
performance will be.
