inserter to.

TIPS FOR BETTER RECEPTION
• Install the antenna as high as possible to avoid possible obstacles between the antenna and
transmission tower. Obstacles may cause signal loss.
• When installing indoors, place the antenna near a window. If the window has a metal screen,
place the antenna near a window that does not have a metal screen.
