The FinestraMiner works
best when it is placed near
a window with minimal
external obstructions.
Depending on the window, and
availability of a power outlet,
you may even attach it to a
window pane using the
adhesive base.
Follow the instructions in
“Mounting your FinestraMiner”.
Peel it.
FinestraMiner comes equipped with a
reusable adhesive base. This allows it to be
placed in the most advantageous indoor
locations for best performance - even
sloping or vertical surfaces which are flat
and smooth.
2
Do not place the
FinestraMiner near a metal
mesh, screens or large
metallic objects.
Water tanks or even large
vehicles such as a truck parked
outside could affect
performance.
Also do try to ensure that any
other electronic devices are
placed a few feet away from
FinestraMiner.

Stick it.
Activate the reusable backing by peeling
off the protective covering - use tweezers if
needed. Once removed press your
FinestraMiner firmly against any flat
smooth surface you planned to mount it
on.
3
Remove it. Move it.
To remove or move your FinestraMiner just
grasp the edges firmly and pull away with a
twisting motion to lift one of the edges.
Then pull away further to separate it from
the surface. Do not try to forcibly pull
FinestraMiner directly away from a surface
- always pull back with a twisting motion.

Wipe each time.
Each time you remove FinestraMiner, wipe
