Mounting the TV55 Antenna

Mounting Options:

The TV55 can be mounted in many ways both indoors (such as on a wall or in an attic) and outdoors (such as on a mast, on a wall, or either under a window or a roof’s eave). Decide where you will mount the TV55 and follow the appropriate directions.

Indoors/Outdoors using Wall Mount Brackets

Indoors

Select a spot in your home where the antenna may be positioned horizontally and out of the way of large metal objects which may cause interference. Be sure the antenna is not in a position where it could easily fall or be damaged.

Note: Never install the antenna onto a metal surface. This will seriously degrade reception quality.

Do not mount the antenna indoors if you have stucco walls or aluminum siding.

Outdoors

Your TV55 antenna may also be mounted outdoors - on a roof’s eave or outside a window. Mount the antenna away from trees or other obstructions, as higher frequencies may be affected by these obstructions.

Note: Mounting the antenna on aluminum siding or any metal surface will greatly degrade reception. For the optimum performance, mount the antenna horizontally, with the front aiming at the general direction of the TV station’s broadcasting transmitters. The higher the antennas elevation, the better the reception performance will be.

Warning! Never hang anything from or attach any weight to the mounting brackets or the antenna.
