Are you supposed to take the plastic bag off of the top of the antenna-like thing or should you leave it on? The directions are not clear.

No Dummy when you receive the box UPS Just sit it on a high shelf un opened

Yes, remove the plastic bag. Place the unit as far away as possible from any other electronic devices. The directions say it won't harm them, but that is not true. My computer mother board and transformer blew out from a power surge from the device, and Wein reimbursed me for the damage. If you touch the transmitter, you will get a shock of static electricity, not dangerous, but a bit painful. Expect the unit to attract dust from the room, and wipe it off the unit and the walls nearby. This is a powerful device, and I would not put it too close to where you sleep. Hope this helps.

You should be able to bend the antenna so that it's not hanging below the landing gear. It feels a little bit loose, but it will hold it's shape if you do it correctly.

I did the same. I found some higher quality suction cups that i could stick on the side and would hold it up. Keep them in the bag for when i use it

It will not go off unless you pull the trip cord. It's like a Hand Grenade. If you had the string hanging on the outside of your bag around your wrist and someone grabbed your bag then yes, it would go off inside the bag. I think better to have the alarm cord on your arm and if someone messes with you pull it and toss the alarm. It will continue to sound for one hour so that if you were knocked down the perp couldn't just stop the noise if you threw it out of reach. Well worth the small price for this much attention. Also, it would be comforting to someone to place one by the bedside if you hear something you could pull the cord and get that screaming alarm. It will not go off unless you pull the trip cord.

The antenna IS very flexible...it's the antenna I keep on it when my HT is attached to my backback. Storing inside my backpack with it bent for [an extended period of time] is something I am not willing to try.

The directions are on the bag. If they were not you can go to Essiac on Google and get directions

I took a different approach to the antenna problem. I marked the location of the antenna bump on the cover and installed a black plastic drapery grommet at that site. I put shoe goo on the inside of the grommet to hold in the fabric of the cover between the 2 halves of the grommet. It looks very professional with the cover lies flat over the rear and the antenna poking out of the grommet hole. The grommet also helps in orienting the cover when I put it on. Overall a very good cover.

You should ground it. There is a grounding kit available from the manufacturer, but you can do it yourself. Another option is moving the antenna down. Mine is only 7 feet off the ground and it works perfectly. You may not need to have it up so high. Also consider an inline coax surge protector.

Replace the primary antenna of the two. Yes, the other antenna will also need to stay attached.

It's on the top. It says "OPEN" with an arrow. There's a compartment in there where you plug in the GPS. The compartment is on the antenna end right above the Samsung logo. I didn't need to use the GPS cable, so can't tell you whether or not it works. My GPS worked without the cable. I put the network extender on a window ledge facing east.

My understanding is that you font have to point it at the strongest signal area directly. Height is most important for success, not trying to aim the point of the antenna at strongest signal direction

You connect it to the antenna as close as possible. Mine is at the bottom of the antenna mast.

I just wanted to confirm what Jeffrey said as I have done exactly that. I installed my antenna in my attic and ran a cable down from it to the box outside my home where all the cables come together. I then disconnected the cable coming from the road and connected the antenna cable. Done. I had a strong over-the-air signal being broadcast to all my TVs.If you are planning to keep your internet access through your cable provider, you'll want to do one extra step. Use a signal detector to find out which cable in the box outside is connected to the terminator being used by your cable modem. Then, take your cable provider's line (coming from the road) and connect it straight into that cable. I just wanted to confirm what Jeffrey said as I have done exactly that.

I wish I could help. Im having the exact same problem. We recently moved and I tried to pack it back on the bag it came in and ended up bending the wires. Good luck though!

It's designed so you can pull the bags out the bottom. Mine is set in a low cabinet so I just take the bag on top.

Look at the top part of the plastic. The bag is velcro to the plastic. Just find the end and unwrap. Took me a while too.
