Tips
Consider using an existing satellite or cable coax connection. At the point
where cables enter your home (the grounding box), the antenna can be
hooked up to an existing coax connection. From the grounding box, a coax
cable should run to the TV or power supply (if using an amplifier).
If replacing an existing antenna with the FreeVision antenna, simply
disconnect the coax cable from the existing antenna, and connect the
coax cable to the FreeVision antenna.
If there is a weak or intermittent signal when using an existing coax cable,
there may be a problem with the existing coax cable. Connect one end
of a different coax cable to the antenna and the other end directly to
the TV. If the signal improves, there may be a problem with the existing
coax cable. If you have any questions, please contact Winegard Technical
Determine the best mounting location for the antenna—keep in mind that
the higher the antenna is mounted, the better signal you will receive.
Avoid obstructions (such as buildings, trees or hills) between the antenna
and the broadcast tower—these can block signal.
Distance, obstructions and compass heading all play a role in deciding on a
location to permanently mount the antenna. For this reason, try the antenna
in several locations, checking signal on multiple channels to determine the
location that will provide the best signal. Moving the antenna three feet in
one direction is often enough to change the reception.
Refer to wiring diagrams at www.winegard.com/freevision for details on
how to wire the FreeVision antenna so that it enhances your existing cable
or satellite package.
Mounting the Antenna: Mounting Options
The FreeVision antenna is designed to be mounted either of two ways:
Wall Mounting—The FREEVISION has been designed with holes to allow
it to hang on a wall from a nail.
Mast Mounting—The FreeVision antenna comes with a bracket and U-bolt
to allow for mounting to a pipe or mast. For mounting to a pipe or mast,
first insert the (yellow) 1-3/4” screw into the bracket and through the
mounting hole. Attach the bracket to the back of the FreeVision antenna.
Thread a 10-32 hex flange nut onto the screw, and tighten it.
Once the clamp is attached, assemble the U-bolt around the mast or
pipe, and install the nuts securely to keep the antenna in place.
ATTIC
This is the best mounting
option when you want
the antenna to be out of
sight. Signal loss may be
experienced.
OUTDOOR
(roof, side of house, deck)
Direct line of sight from the
antenna to the broadcast
tower provides the strongest
signal strength and maximum
channel reception.
