Antenna Installation Hints and Guidelines

General

•

Keep all antenna wiring away from AC electrical wiring to minimize interference. Avoid
long antenna runs that closely parallel AC wires.

•

All antennas placed behind the wall must be rigidly affixed to studs and conform to all
local codes.

•

Any antenna mounted outdoors must be properly grounded and lightning-arrested, and
should be installed by persons knowledgeable and experienced in these matters.

AM Antenna

•

The AM antenna should be mounted a few feet above the WallStation and facing edge-
on to transmiters to maximize reception.

•

Extending AM antenna leads is not recommended and can lead to reduced reception
and increased levels of interference.

•

AM reception may be particularly compromised in some types of home construction,
particularly those using foil-wrapped insulation and/or aluminum siding.

FM Antenna

•

Connection to an external FM antenna is recommended for best performance.

•

When distributing the signal from an external antenna throughout the home, be sure to
use a quality splitter and CATV-type RG-6 coax.
