Lightning Protection

(When Mounting The Antenna Outside)

Ground wires for both the mast and downlead should be copper or aluminum wire, 8 AWG or larger.

Mount a grounding block, not supplied, as close as possible to where the downlead enters the house.

Downlead wire from the antenna to the grounding block and the mast ground wire should be secured to the house with stand-off insulators, spaced 4 - 6 feet apart.

For a “ground - up” antenna installation, you might not need to go around the mast if the mast extends 4 or more feet into the earth.

Connecting The Antenna To Your TV

2.If your TV has an F connector, connect the short piece of coax cable from the power injector to your TV’s VHF/UHF 75- ohm F connector.

Inside Mounting

You can mount the antenna in an attic, closet or other out of the way indoor location. The antenna can be mounted on a horizon- tal mast, closet rod, or on a short piece of mast suspended from a roof support by a 4 inch wall mount bracket, not supplied.

Or you can simply place the antenna on a shelf in a closet. Be sure the antenna is not in a position where it could easily fall or be damaged.

3.Insert the supplied AC adaptor’s small plug into the power injector’s DC 12V jack. Then plug the adaptor into a standard AC outlet. The LED on the power injector lights to indicate that the antenna is properly connected.

If your TV has screw terminals for VHF/UHF connection, connect a 75 to 300 ohm transformer, not supplied, between the power injector and the VHF/UHF terminals.
