Your Radio Shack Amplified Omnidirectional VHF/UHFTV Antenna provides excellent reception of VHF/UHF TV channels in most viewing locations. The UV-protected housing is made of impact-resistant filled co-polymer, making the exterior resistant to weathering and color change. The antenna’s unique omnidirectional characteristics provide excellent reception in areas where broadcasts are received from different directions.

The built-in fixed FM trap helps prevent strong FM stations from interfering with TV Channels 2–13.

Use extreme caution when installing an outdoor antenna close to overhead wires. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! If any part of the antenna makes contact with overhead power lines, touching the antenna, mast, cable or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. Do not attempt to remove it yourself!

Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers are injured or killed each year by electric shock, because they fail to recognize overhead wires as being potentially lethal. Touching any part of the antenna mast or guy wire to these overhead wires is the same as touching the wires with your bare hand.

A very serious shock is almost sure to result when contacting an electrical wire. 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 feet of the ground and could easily be touched by an assembled antenna and mast.Rý

Please read and follow these important safety precautions:

•Be sure to select an antenna site well away from all overhead wires.

•Do not try to guess which overhead wires carry high voltage. Check with the power company.

•If you notice anything making contact with the overhead wires, call the power company to have it removed safely.

•Do not run the downlead cable over power wires.

•Get help from a qualified professional when removing the old antenna if there is any doubt of clearing overhead wires.

•Never install an antenna when it is windy.

•Be sure to do all assembly work on the ground, then raise the antenna.

•Make sure the antenna mast downlead cable is connected to suitable lightning arrestors.

•Use 8 (or larger) AWG ground wire between the mast and ground.

•Make sure the installation is secure. Use plenty of guy wires and new hardware.

This antenna system is designed to work properly when the power injector is connected to the antenna through a 75-ohm coax cable.

The power injector’s indicator lights to show that:

• DC power is supplied to the antenna

•there are no shorts in the connection between the power injector and antenna

The coax cable between the power injector and the antenna carries:

•DC power from the power injector to the amplifier board in the antenna
