Mount the antenna on a window that faces the broadcast tower of stations
that you want to receive. The sides of the antenna have blind spots, so the
antenna may not “see” enough signal from the broadcast tower if the sides
of the antenna face the tower.
If the antenna is mounted so that it hangs vertically, the coax cable should run
from the top or bottom of the antenna. If the antenna is mounted so that it lies
flat (e.g. on a table), the coax cable should point toward the signal.
The FlatWave antenna is small enough to hide behind a TV or picture frame.
The coax cable is running from the side of the antenna instead of the top or
bottom of the antenna. Try re-positioning the antenna so that the coax cable
runs from the top or bottom of the antenna, and run a new channel scan.
The antenna may pick up signal when mounted near electronics, or
electronics, including the television itself, may reflect the signal from the
broadcast tower. If so, try mounting the antenna higher on the wall, and run a
new channel scan. The higher the antenna, the better signal you will receive.
Once the best location has been determined, secure the antenna with the
provided command strips, which can be placed on any part of the antenna.
If more coaxial cable is needed to mount the antenna in the desired location,
connect the coaxial cable to a female-to-female barrel connector (Winegard
model FS-8100), sold separately), and attach additional coaxial cable.
Do not paint the FlatWave antenna. This could block signal and void your
warranty. Note that the antenna is not meant for use in an attic.
