Mount the antenna on a window that faces the broadcast tower of
stations that you want to receive. The sides of 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.
Electronics 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 15’ mini coax 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.
Questions & Answers
Q. What channels can the FlatWave antenna receive?
A. The FlatWave antenna may receive all available local programming.
The antenna can receive programming from all of the major local
broadcast networks (e.g. ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS) plus additional
networks (Qubo, ION, The CW, This TV, MyNetworkTV, Azteca,
Telefutura, Univision, and Telemundo). The FlatWave antenna can also
receive local news, weather and educational programs that satellite and
cable don’t offer. Reception varies by location.
Q. How can I find out what channels are broadcast in my area?
A. Check out www.winegard.com/localchannels. On this site, you can enter
your address and get a listing of likely channels available in your area.
If the antenna is mounted so that it lies flat (e.g. on a table), the cable
should line up with the signal.
