Attaching the Coax Cable*

Figure 14

Posts

Locate the two posts on the underside of the front assembly (Figure 14). Place two washers on each post. Loosely thread a small nut onto each post. Slide one fork of the matching transformer between a set of washers. Repeat for the other fork on the other post. Tighten the nuts, making sure that the forks are still connected.

Remove the rubber boot from the matching transformer. Slide the rubber boot over the coax cable and install the connector. If your coax cable has the connector already on it, you will need to cut an X in the boot hole so that the boot will slide over the connector. Attach the coax cable to the matching transformer. Then, connect the rubber boot to the body of the matching transformer, as in Figure 15.

Mounting the Antenna

Figure 16

Place the mast clamp insert inside the

mast clamp so that the flat side of the mast

clamp insert presses against the boom. The holes in both parts should align. Insert the ends of the U-bolt through the holes. The mast should be placed in-between the U-bolt and the mast clamp insert. Thread a large nut on each end of the U-bolt. Tighten the nuts until the U-bolt securely holds the mast in place. The U-bolt assembly will handle up to a 2.0” outer diameter mast.

Helpful Tips

 

Be sure the matching transformer is on the

 

bottom of the antenna.

 

Point the front of antenna toward stations.

 

Tape downlead to mast to prevent wind

 

whipping.

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.
