most of your local broadcast towers. Visit www.antennaweb.org to see

the locations of your local broadcast towers.

• The higher the elevation of the antenna, the better the reception

performance will be.

Mounting the Antenna

The ANT700R mounting base and arm give you ﬂ exibility in mounting the

antenna. The ANT700R 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 ANT700R; never attach foreign

objects to the ANT700R.

NOTES: Do not install the ANT700R on any metal surface, including

aluminum siding. Mounting on a metal surface will seriously degrade

reception quality.

In most cases, the ANT700R 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 ANT700R can also be mounted in an attic.

Mounting to a Surface

1. Mount the base to the surface.
