The second best antenna location is on an outside wall
• Use an appropriate wall, depending on where you live (refer to

the map on page 13). The location of the “X” on the map must

be visible to the antenna

• Mount the antenna facing as close to straight up as

possible (

below, left)

• To minimize interference caused by roof extensions, mount

the antenna as low on the wall as possible while avoiding

other obstructions (

below, right).

The third best antenna location is at a window
• Use an appropriate window, depending on where you live

(refer to the map on page 13). The location of the “X” on the

map must be visible to the antenna

• Place the antenna midway between the left and right window

frames

• Tilt the hinged part of the

antenna back to aim it

towards the sky (

right)

Note: Objects such as the

following can prevent the

antenna from receiving the

satellite signal when placed

at a window or on an outside

wall: • roof extensions •the

window frame •metallic

window screens or tinting

•objects in the window

•nearby objects like trees,

foliage or buildings
If the signal is blocked from

getting to the antenna, the

antenna must be relocated

to a more appropriate

window, an outside wall free of obstructions, or on the roof.

Note:

The antenna is

weatherproof,

so it can be

mounted

outside
