Place each element extension beside the element to which it will connect. The shortest element extension will connect to the shortest element on the back assembly, and the longest element extension will connect to the longest element. The element extensions should decrease in length as they near the center of the antenna (Figure 12). One element sleeve will be used to connect each element extension to its corresponding element.

Slide the element sleeve over the element. Align the holes in the element sleeve and element. Then, slide the element extension into the element sleeve. Align the holes in the element sleeve and element extension. Insert a small screw through the top of each hole, and thread a small flange nut onto each screw. Repeat for connecting each element extension to an element. See Figure 13.

FVHD45C, FV-HD45 specifications

The Winegard FV-HD45 and FV-HD45C are innovative over-the-air antennas designed to enhance the television viewing experience by providing crystal-clear HD signal reception. These antennas cater to consumers looking for efficient solutions to access free broadcast channels without relying on cable or satellite services.

One of the defining features of the FV-HD45 and FV-HD45C is their capability to receive signals from a wide range of frequencies. Both models support VHF and UHF signals, enabling users to access a broad spectrum of local channels. This versatility is particularly beneficial in areas where channels broadcast from varying locations.

The design of the FV-HD45 and FV-HD45C emphasizes durability and flexibility. Constructed with high-quality materials, these antennas are designed to withstand the elements, making them ideal for outdoor installations. They feature a compact and lightweight design, allowing for easy mounting on roofs, walls, or even in attics.

Another notable aspect of these antennas is their advanced signal processing technology. The built-in low-noise amplifier amplifies weak signals while minimizing interference from other sources. This technology ensures clear reception, even in remote areas or locations with many obstructions. Consequently, viewers can enjoy high-definition channels with minimal pixelation or dropouts.

The FV-HD45C model additionally includes a unique reflector design that further enhances its ability to capture signals. This design increases directionality, allowing the antenna to focus on signals coming from a specific direction while reducing interference from signals coming from the sides or behind. This characteristic is particularly useful in urban environments, where signals may be scattered.

Moreover, installation of both models is user-friendly. They come equipped with detailed instructions, and the included mounting hardware simplifies the setup process. Winegard also provides access to a support network, ensuring that customers can troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

The FV-HD45 and FV-HD45C stand out in the market as reliable solutions for those seeking to cut costs and gain access to a variety of channels. With modern technologies and thoughtful design, these antennas not only fulfill the basic need for signal reception but do so with enhanced efficiency and performance, providing a seamless viewing experience for all.
