TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO  
NOT EXPOSE POWER SUPPLY SECTION OF  
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
Please read and follow these suggestions, if  
applicable:  
1. Try to have two people available for help, if  
needed.  
Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers  
are injured or killed each year by electrocution. While  
anyone can see the obvious danger of falling, the most  
resourcefulsometimesfailstorecognizeoverheadwires  
as being potentially lethal. To touch any part of the  
antenna mast or guy wires to these overhead wires is  
the same as touching them with your bare hand. A very  
serious shock is almost sure to result when contacting  
an electrical wire, and in the case of primary wires on  
the top of poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt  
of lightning. Many power wires are within 20' to 25' of the  
ground and could easily be touched by an assembled  
antenna and mast.  
2. Try to select antenna site well away from all  
overhead wires. Check distances.  
3. If possible, do all assembly work on ground  
and then raise the antenna.  
4. Don’t try to install antenna when it is windy.  
5. If anything should come in contact with the  
overhead wires, call the power company.  
They will remove it safely.  
6. Don’ttrytoguesswhichoverheadwirescarry  
high voltage. Check with power company.  
7. Make the installation secure. Use plenty of  
guy wires and good hardware.  
8. Make sure antenna mast and downlead cable  
are connected to suitable lightning arrestors.  
Use at least No. 8 ground wire between mast  
and ground.  
9. Do not run downlead over power wires.  
10. Get professional help when removing the old  
antenna if there is any doubt of clearing over-  
head wires.

ANTENNA MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS  
TIPS:  
STEP 1: Attach mounting bracket to bottom of antenna  
as shown in Figure 1 and mount antenna on mast. The  
tabontheplasticscrewandnotchonthebracketensure  
asecureconnection. Usecentersetofholesonbracket.  
Tighten U-bolt. Connect downlead to jack on antenna,  
slide weather boot over boot collar.  
If splitting the signal to multiple TVs or combining with  
another signal source, it is strongly recommended that  
the power injector be installed between the antenna  
and the splitter/combiner input. In this case, the cable  
connection from the “TV” jack of the power injector  
goes to the splitter input or valid combiner input. Use  
splitters rated from 54-806 MHz or wider bandwidth  
(commonly 5-1000 MHz) for over-the-air television  
signal distribution.  
Additional distribution/inline amplifiers must be installed  
FOLLOWING the TV output of the power injector, NOT  
on the downlead cable line connecting to theANTENNA  
port. Check TV picture quality, if the power injector LED  
is glowing when powered, and antenna alignment prior  
to adding additional line amplifiers.  
To maximize the operating life of the amplifier, install  
the power injector close to the TV receiver (if only one  
will be used with the antenna) or the first signal split. A  
maximum antenna-to-power injector length of 150 feet  
RG-6 or 150 feet RG-59 is acceptable.  
(NON-AMPLIFIED)  
STEP 2. Attach downlead from antenna to TV set.  
(AMPLIFIED MODELS) If using the power supply,  
follow these steps.  
STEP2. AttachFconnectorondownleadcabletopower  
injector jack marked “ANTENNA”. See figure 2.  
STEP 3. Attach “F” connector on cable from analog TV/  
DTV receivers to power injector jack marked “TV”. See  
figure 2.

Staples or Clamps: The use of flat staples with coax  
cable is damaging to the cable. Only round headed  
staples can be used. Any clamps or securing devices  
used with coax should grip the cable evenly about the  
circumference without crushing the cable.

Exposure to High Heat: Maximum temperature limit

STEP 4. Connect one “F” connector on supplied black  
RG-6 cable to power injector jack marked “PWR IN”.  
ConnecttheotherFconnectoronsuppliedRG-6cable  
to jack on supplied AC (Wall Adaptor). See Figure 2.  
Crushing: Coax should not be installed in a manner  
that would allow it to be crushed. The coax should not  
be stuffed or wedged into areas where the cable could  
be pinched.  
STEP 5. Mount power injector to wall using supplied  
screws. Plug in AC wall transformer to household wall  
outlet.  
Exposure to Moisture: Cable jacket will withstand  
most outdoor environments. However, connections and  
splices must be sealed against water entry.
