Antenna Installation
In-car digital TV reception varies from vehicle to vehicle and the
installer may need to try several mounting positions to determine
the best one which provides strong and stable signal reception in
your vehicle.
Important Notes on Antenna Installation: For a better reception,
please place the rod antenna horizontally, and keep the rod
antenna away from metals.
Antenna Position
To extend the reception area, we recommend that one antenna is
mounted at the front and one at the rear of the vehicle. Please
refer to the diagram below for some recommended locations.
(1) Behind the Front Bumper, provided that it is not metal
(2) Top of Front Windscreen, but at least 5cm away from metal
body (in car)
(3) Top of Rear Windscreen, but at least 5cm away from metal body
(in car)
(4) Bottom of Rear Windscreen, but at least 5cm away from metal
body (in car)
(5) Behind the Rear Bumper, provided that it is not metal
*Noted: The DTV signal of position (2) ~ (4) is generally better than
position (1) and (5). However, because the windshields of many cars
are usually equipped with film coating (that contains metal), the actual
signal reception may be degraded, depending on the extent of metal
embedded within film.
Antenna Cable Routing
Once a suitable position is found, carefully route the antenna
cables to the receiver unit and then connect to the Antenna Inputs
on the DTV receiver.
