Lift the forward elements until the holes in the elements line up (Figure 2).

With the holes lined up, install the UHF element by inserting the threaded posts into the holes in the forward elements. The threaded posts should extend down towards the body of the FREEVISION antenna as in Figure 3.

With the logo facing up, thread the coax cable through the bottom of the FreeVision antenna. Connect the coax cable to the matching transformer. See Figure 5. (For an installation that does not require full 50’ coax cable, coil the excess cable up and store it behind the television.)

Insert the coax and matching transformer into the installation place. Then, slide one of the forks of the matching transformer between the two forward elements on the threaded post. Repeat this process for the other post. See Figure 6.

Tighten the nuts, making sure the matching transformer is still connected.
Mounting the Antenna: Location Selection
Check that you are within a 30 mile range of the stations that you want to receive. The antenna has an approximate range of 30 miles when installed outside.
For a listing of likely channels available in your area, go online to www.tvfool.com or antennaweb.org. On each of these sites, you can enter your address and get a listing of likely channels available in your area along with the compass heading for each station’s tower. For most locations, stations will only come from one or two directions. If the compass headings are similar (<30° apart), the FREEVISION can be
aimed between the two areas and receive signals from each location. | 4 |
