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.

2. Mark the mounting surface
you havechosen. Make a
pencil mark approximately
11" in from one end of the
antenna. Along a level
horizontal line, make a
second mark 23" from
the first.
