Antenna Assembly

Orient the antenna so that the Winegard logo is facing forward. Flip the

forward elements to the front until the holes in the elements align.

With the holes lined up, install the UHF elements by inserting the

threaded posts into the holes in the forward elements. The threaded posts

should extend down towards the body of the FreeVision®antenna.

Thread the supplied 10-32 hex ﬂange nuts on the back of the threaded

posts. Do not tighten at this time.

Remove and dispose of the rubber boot on the matching transformer.

With the logo facing up, thread coaxial cable through the bottom of the

FreeVision antenna. Connect the coax cable to the matching transformer

(A). Insert the coaxial cable and matching transformer into the installation

place (B).

Then, slide one of the forks of the matching transformer between the

two forward elements on the threaded post. Repeat this process for the

other post. Tighten the nuts, making sure the matching transformer is still

connected.

Remove the backing from the ‘HD’ label, and carefully place the label

over the front of the UHF element so that it covers the center block of

the elements.

Check that you are within a 35 mile range of the stations that you want to

receive. For a listing of likely channels available in your area, go online to

dtv.gov/maps.

Position the antenna toward the broadcast tower for optimal reception. For

most locations, stations will only come from one or two directions. If the

compass headings are similar (<30° apart), the FreeVision antenna can be

aimed between the two areas and receive signals from each location.

Run a channel scan. If not satisﬁed with the channels found, try

repositioning the antenna and running another channel scan.

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.

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

Services at [email protected] or 1-800-788-4417.

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.

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.

Painting the FreeVision Antenna

The FreeVision antenna can be painted as long as the metal prongs of the

forward elements and the matching transformer forks are not painted. If

you choose to paint the antenna, cover the two circled areas with tape

before painting. If these areas are painted, your antenna will NOT work,

and you will void your warranty.

To prevent paint from easily ﬂaking, use a primer when painting the antenna.

Troubleshooting

Issue Possible Cause

I am not getting channels. Try running a new channel scan

on the TV. Try the antenna in a

new location. Something may be

obstructing the signal.

One channel is missing. Try turning the antenna 10 or 20

degrees in either direction to avoid

reﬂection or to better optimize the

signal, or try moving the antenna

to a new location.

Try running a new channel scan on

the TV. Refer to the channel scan

insert for more information.

The picture or sound freezes

while I am watching a channel,

or there are boxes in the picture.

This is often caused by a weak

or intermittent signal. Try moving

the antenna to a better location or

aiming it directly at the tower for

this channel.
