Finding a location for the antenna (continued) The second best antenna location is on an outside wall • Use an appropriate wall, depending on where you live (refer to the map on page 13). The location of the "X" on the map must be visible to the antenna • Mount the antenna facing as close to straight up as possible (below, left) • To minimize interference caused by roof extensions, mount the antenna as low on the wall as possible while avoiding other obstructions (below, right). Note: The antenna is weatherproof, so it can be mounted outside The third best antenna location is at a window • Use an appropriate window, depending on where you live (refer to the map on page 13). The location of the "X" on the map must be visible to the antenna • Place the antenna midway between the left and right window frames • Tilt the hinged part of the antenna back to aim it towards the sky (right) Note: Objects such as the following can prevent the antenna from receiving the satellite signal when placed at a window or on an outside wall: • roof extensions •the window frame •metallic window screens or tinting •objects in the window •nearby objects like trees, foliage or buildings If the signal is blocked from getting to the antenna, the antenna must be relocated to a more appropriate window, an outside wall free of obstructions, or on the roof. 12 Here2Anywhere Instruction Manual (ver. 2) Finding a location for the antenna (continued) Use this map as a general placement guideline-some experimentation may be needed to obtain the best reception in your particular situation.

The second best antenna location is on an outside wall
• Use an appropriate wall, depending on where you live (refer to
the map on page 13). The location of the “X” on the map
must
be visible to the antenna
• Mount the antenna facing as close to straight up as
possible (
below, left
)
• To minimize interference caused by roof extensions, mount
the antenna as low on the wall as possible while avoiding
other obstructions (
below, right
).
The third best antenna location is at a window
• Use an appropriate window, depending on where you live
(refer to the map on page 13). The location of the “X” on the
map
must be visible to the antenna
• Place the antenna midway between the left and right window
frames
• Tilt the hinged part of the
antenna back to aim it
towards the sky (
right
)
Note: Objects such as the
following can prevent the
antenna from receiving the
satellite signal when placed
at a window or on an outside
wall: • roof extensions •the
window
frame
•metallic
window screens or tinting
•objects
in
the
window
•nearby objects like trees,
foliage or buildings
If the signal is blocked from
getting to the antenna, the
antenna must be relocated
to
a
more
appropriate
window, an outside wall free of obstructions, or on the roof.
Note:
The antenna is
weatherproof,
so it can be
mounted
outside
