Winegard Car Satellite TV System FL5000C Manual Do Utilizador

I am not getting channels.

Something may be obstructing the 
signal. Try the antenna in a new 
location. Try running a new channel 
scan on the TV. 

One channel is missing.

Something may be reflecting the 
signal. 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. 
Make sure to run a new channel 
scan on the TV every time you 
move the antenna and from time to 
time to maintain optimal reception. 
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.

Q. Do I need to pay for programming?
A. No—local programming received through an over-the-air antenna is free! 

Q. How many channels will I receive with the FlatWave antenna?
A. The number of channels will vary from location to location. Generally 
speaking, if you live in or near a metropolitan area you will receive more 
channels than if you live outside a metropolitan area. Each location is 
different. Keep in mind that antenna reception may vary based on terrain 
(including trees, buildings, hills and mountains). The fewer obstructions, 
the better your chance for receiving strong digital signals. 

Q. Does the FlatWave antenna work with any TV?
A. The FlatWave antenna works with any TV or device that has an 
ATSC tuner. Devices that have built-in ATSC tuners include TVs, 
laptops, PCs, some satellite receivers, and digital recording devices 
(DVRs).

TIP 

Any television manufactured after March 1, 2007 is required by 
U.S. government to have an ATSC tuner. If your TV menu has 

an option for scanning for digital channels, then your television has an 
ATSC tuner.

Q. Can I connect the FlatWave antenna to multiple televisions?
A. No—the FlatWave antenna is designed to connect to a single 
television. Splitting the signal between multiple TVs will degrade the 
signal.

Q. Is there anywhere that the antenna shouldn’t be mounted?
A. The antenna is designed for indoor use only. The FlatWave antenna 
is not meant to be mounted outdoors or in the attic.

Q. How do I know where the signal is strongest?
A. After connecting the coax cable from the FlatWave antenna to the 
“Antenna In” port on the TV, run a channel scan. Try the antenna in 
different locations, making sure to run a channel scan every time you 
move the antenna. Finding TV signal is similar to cell phone coverage. 
Sometimes walking a few feet can make a difference. The less 
obstructions and the higher the antenna is mounted, the better chance 
of receiving a strong signal.

Your Winegard antenna is digital and HD ready. This means that the 
antenna receives all available digital and HD local programming in 
your area.*

The FlatWave antenna works with any TV or device with an ATSC 
tuner. As more and more local networks are broadcasting their 
programs in HD, you can experience your favorite shows in crisp, 
clear FREE HD! You also have the ability to receive programming that 
cable and satellite companies may not provide. It doesn’t get any 
better than that!

*Antenna reception may vary based on transmitting antenna tower height, lobe pattern 
of the transmitter, height of the receiving antenna, weather conditions and terrain on 
receiving path including trees, buildings, hills, mountains, etc.
