BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside on the roof. The antenna is waterproof. This posi- tion will afford the best view of the sky for best reception. When placed in this location, an antenna extension cable may be required.

BETTER reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside a window, or by mounting it to the side of the house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear view of the sky.

GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna in a window. Try to achieve a clear unobstructed view of the sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the an- tenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost signal strength.

From the map shown here, determine your location and aim the portion of the antenna with the logo toward the location indicated by the X on the map.

Route the antenna cable to the dock. Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered. If the antenna is installed outdoors, route the cable from the antenna location to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make adjustments to take up cable slack as necessary.

Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the rear of the dock.
