TYPICAL AERIAL MOUNTING APPLICATION EXAMPLES

WALL AND L OFT F IXING KITS ARE AVAI LABLE FROM MAXVI EW (I NCUDES 10M COAXIA L CAB LE)

You should mount your aerial as high as possible on either a chimney, on an external wall,
or in the loft. Remember, that in general, TV pictures improve with height and the less
obstructions between the aerial and the transmitter the better.

Now point your aerial in the direction of the transmitter by looking at neighbours aerials and
copy the direction they are pointing. If you decide to fit the aerial in your lof t, special care
should be taken when walking in the roof space.
