4. Testing Antenna Signal Strength

When signal strength is weak, the possibility of sound interruption is greater than degredation of sound quality. To minimize signal interruptions, it is wise to test antenna signal strength.

Most Plug & Play systems and home units, such as the Shuttle, have special antenna aiming screens within their menu options. Refer to page 18 of the Plug and Play Shuttle Owner’s Manual for Antenna Aiming instructions using the two, 10-segment horizontal bar graphs.

7.Mounting the Antenna

The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat surface whenever possible. To mount the antenna:

a.Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the back of the cradle.

b.Place the antenna at the preferred location inside or outside the home.
