Is horizontal spatial orientation required? Does it matter if it is mounted horizontally or vertically such as with the terminals up?

"Valve regulated, spill proof construction allows safe operation in any position"

It is completely sealed (if not, than it is defective) therefore can be used in any position.

Anthony - as I was researching this question when I started using my receiver, the answer was - horizontally. Make sure you hang it as close to a window as possible. I also found that I had to experiment with the orientation (N/S/E/W) to get the best signal. Where I am located, the south end of my house works best. Hope this helps!

Do you have a UHI connector on your vehicle? If so, Where is it located? Is it mounted vertical or horizontal?

I only have vertical outlets so I can't tell. However the unit itself is not able to turn horizontal.

My mother's is mounted horizontally. My brother did the install, and didn't comment about there being any difficulties. Looks great...SO much better than those cheap plastic boxes at Lowes or Home Depot.

Instructions say slot should be horizontal but really needs to be vertical, push pin into hole, pull lightly remove pin and finish pulling. Printed instructions are incorrect.

I have it mounted horizontally, can't remember if it could be turned vertically.

It works find pointing vertically downward. That is exactly how mine is positioned. And, it is pretty easy to install.

The packaging recommends that you do NOT mount horizontally, though mine is at a diagonal and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

I don't think this mount was designed for hanging the CPU horizontal. If you do and break something, then I wouldn't go and complain to the manufacturer or to Amazon. The instructions are for mounting it vertical.

I have mine installed horizontally, and it would be no issue mounting it vertically either. As long as itmounted "between" two studs, you could almost mount it anywhere.(and it sounds very good also)

I have mine mounted vertically but the installation manual say it can be mounted horizontal as well, remember to allow enough room for the top lid to openfor changing of the filter bag, which ever way you decide to install unit. Hope this helps!!

Personally, I have had no issues with a Horizontal outlet. The design of the head is to fit snug in to any outlet without it coming out. Sometimes I need to make sure I put it in to make good contact, but once it is in....no problems. I use this in two different Jeeps and rental cars for work. Very handy for GPS.

Nope, but works perfect in the 4 directional configuration. No complains about it.

I don't have mine permanently mounted horizontally, but when I was building the box I ran it while horizontal and it didn't make any noise, change fan speed, etc.

The only way to hang this barometer is horizontal. And that is a good point that I did not take into consideration when purchasing. It works great for my living room, but I never took into consideration the orientation. It is very beautiful, useful and efficient. At this time I have used the detachable "legs," so it is sitting on a narrow table.
