Does it HAVE to be put in a window??

It can be positioned anywhere. I have one wedged vertically behind the TV and another laying horizontally on top of an upper kitchen cabinet. Both work well without a window. You simply need to use a 'trial & error' approach to get the best reception.

Being by an outside wall, particularly towards the broadcast tower, would probably be the best, but the optimum location certainly varies from home to home, depending on their structure and their environment. I am not certain if windows are even pertinent, especially if they are covered with metallic screens, frames, or blinds.

I suppose that you don't HAVE to but I found that a window is where I had the strongest signal.

There's a big tube that has to be connected to a window and it's not that long so make sure you have a window that opens and is in a place where you can put it. I didn't know that until mine came but it worked out.

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.

No, it actually slides into a track on the window. There is a thin hard plastic film that slides into the track and the fuzzy part sticks out.

....You don't need any window to install it. You can use it as a free standing dryer though I recommend that you put it near any open space or near any exhaust because it's going to be hot inside your room....

We have ours in our side-sliding window. It IS possible to install it that way, but you will need to reinforce it if you're concerned about security or stability issues. Also, the panel that's included for top sliding windows may or may not work -we had to custom cut a piece of plastic to fit and drilled it into the window frame.

No. The instructions make it clear its only to be used indoors. If you mount it in a window, one side would be exposed to rain, dampness etc and would pose a fire hazard.

No but you will want to secure the window somehow so that it cannot open. I cut a broomstick to fit exactly in the space between the raised window and the top of the window sill.

No, it's on rollers and sits in front of a window. Comes with an exhaust plate and extenders that fit into casement or slider windows. Also has an exhaust tube from back of unit to the window. Very easy to put together.

Yes this unit needs to vent outside a window. However this unit is super easy to hookup.

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

I have it on my wall but I never thought about putting it on a window... That's a good idea actually! I think it would look nice but would it stick?? Not sure.. Would humidity affect it?? I hope it works for you.

It fits inside the window so you can close the window in front of it. At least that is how I used it in a standard double hung window. Once it was installed it didn't come out until we moved.

Yes, if you are referring to the window installation kit, it does come with it. "Unit must be vented to the outside (use included window installation kit and follow detailed installation instructions in the Owner Manual.)"

Seems like you've answered your own question. Yes, you should be get the unit into that size window without the side curtains. Will probably have to fabricate your own weather proofing for the sides.

I did not mount it in a window, I set it a new wall. However, It mounted very good without any "brackets" into a 5" wall.'Still there today doing very well.'(I might add, It's quieter than I thought it would be.)

You install this on the inside of the window - inside the house. As long as it's above 40*F in the house, you should be fine to install this window film.
