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 Onyx Plus may enter demo mode. Demo

mode is a feature for retail display purposes, and Onyx Plus 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 74.

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 can sometimes cause reception issues. If this

is the case, you may want to use another window or place the antenna

outside of the window.
