Installing the Antenna

The antenna is housed in a small black plastic box that must be mounted vertically on a
non-metallic support. The antenna cable plugs into the bottom of the antenna housing.
When mounting the antenna ensure the correct side of the antenna faces north. The cable
plugs into the bottom of the antenna with the front of the antenna facing north. The front
of the antenna corresponds to the top of the computer screen. If the antenna does not
face north the top of the computer screen will not be north.

Provided there are no large metal objects to block the radio signals, mounting the
antenna 6 feet high is ok. Mounting the antenna 12 feet high is good. 20-25 feet is better.
