Other Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna Installation Suggestions
NOTE! If the signal reception is low, intermittent, or Acquiring Signal is
displayed, after a period of time the Radio may enter demo mode. Demo mode is
a feature for retail display purposes, and the Radio will automatically exit demo
mode once it begins to receive a good signal. To exit demo mode immediately,
press and hold the Select button for 10 seconds. Demo mode can be disabled, if
desired, by following the instructions in “Demo Mode” on page 52.
Try moving the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna closer to a window, ideally one
that is facing due south.
Not sure which way is south?
Think about where the sun
rises (in the east) and sets (in
the west). Then stand so that
east is to your left and you’ll be
facing south. Is there a window
in the direction you’re facing?
Move the antenna closer to the
window.
TIP! Still not sure which
way is south or where to place your Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna? Look up
your location on an online mapping website that offers satellite views of street
addresses where you can easily see which way is south, and what window may
offer an unobstructed view of the sky.
Another easy method is to start at any window, then work from window to
window in a simple pattern to find the window gives the best signal strength.
Note that the antenna must also have an unobstructed view, with no trees or
buildings blocking its aim. If the antenna is aimed through a window, be aware
that blinds, screens, or any other non-glass elements such as thermal insulation
