Mounting the Antenna

TheANT800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 ANT800; never attach foreign

objects to the ANT800.

NOTES: Do not install the ANT800 on any metal surface, including

aluminum siding. Mounting on a metal surface will seriously degrade

reception quality.

In most cases, the ANT800 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 ANT800 can also be mounted in an attic.
