Use this map as a general placement guideline—
some experimentation may be needed to obtain the
best reception in your particular situation. See pg.

using the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the
antenna.

The second-best antenna location is on an
outside wall.
• Select an appropriate wall, depending on where
you live (refer to the map on pg. 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 exten-
sions, 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.
• Select an appropriate window, depending on
where you live (refer to the map on pg. 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 (below).
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 obstruc-
tions, or on the roof.
