The location for the antenna must have an unobstructed view of the sky in the direction
indicated for your area. (Figure 11)
For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need
to have a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is
determined by your specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map: If you live
in Texas, you will need a more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in
southern California, you will need a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky.

Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to
the home dock. Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist
the cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered. If the
antenna is installed outdoors, route the cable from the antenna location to the interior
of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and
make adjustments to take up cable slack as necessary. Connect the antenna cable to
the antenna connector of the dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 8.) Optional antenna
extension cables are available if needed.
