Mounting the Antenna

The antenna mounting base and arm give you fl exibility in mounting the
antenna. The antenna can be mounted:

• To a surface, such as a rooftop, eaves, siding, or rafters in an
attic

-OR-

• To a standard mast (not included)

WARNING: Never hang anything from the antenna; never attach foreign
objects to the antenna.

NOTES: Do not install the antenna on any metal surface, including
aluminum siding. Mounting on a metal surface will seriously degrade
reception quality.

In most cases, the antenna provides the best performance when mounted
outdoors in a high location (such as on the roof or high up on the side of
your house). The antenna can also be mounted in an attic or indoors.

Finding the Right Location

Before you mount the antenna, consider the following factors in reception
performance:

• The antenna performs best when mounted vertically

• The antenna should be mounted on the side of your house that faces
most of your local broadcast towers. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see
the locations of your local broadcast towers.

• The higher the elevation of the antenna, the better the reception
performance will be.

Mounting to a Surface

1. Mount the base to the surface.

Find the four wood screws included in this package. Using these
screws, attach the base to the surface as shown here.

If you’re mounting to concrete, brick, or drywall...

You’ll need to use the anchors included in this package. Here’s how to
install them:

• Place the antenna base against the concrete where you want to
mount the antenna. Make sure it’s level.

• Mark the surface through the holes in the base where you’re
going to mount the antenna.

• Set the base aside and drill a 0.1575” pilot hole at each marked
location. Remove any excess dust from the holes.

• Insert a concrete anchor into each hole so that it is fl ush with the
concrete surface. You can use a hammer to gently tap the anchors
into place if necessary.

• Place the antenna base back against the concrete surface and
secure it using the four wood screws provided. Do not overtighten
