You may wait to unfold the elements until you get the antenna up on the roof or in your attic.

BWarning

Do not pull the elements near their outer ends or you could damage them.

3.7 Attaching to the Mast (mast not included)

We recommend you get the help of another person before you put up the mast or attach your antenna to it. How you set up your mast depends on your specific installation.

Refer to the separate Consumer Product Safety Commission Information for recommended methods.

1Slide the antenna’s mast clamp assemblies over the end of the mast, with the main boom plastic brackets on top, and the support boom under it.

2Tighten the mast clamp assemblies' lock nuts to hold the antenna in place. Do not overtighten the lock nuts.

BWarning

The crossover wires must not touch the antenna boom, the mast, or each other.

If necessary, carefully bend the crossover wires to provide at least 1/2 inch of clearance. 7

You can also put the antenna in an attic space. You can mount it from a rafter or place

the antenna on the attic floor. However, we recommend you use mounting hardware for a secure attic installation.

3.8Routing the Cable toYour TV/FM Receiver

1Use plastic tape to secure the coaxial cable to the mast at about 3-foot intervals.

2Use coaxial nail clips every few feet to secure the cable between the mast and where the cable enters the house.

3Use a 75 ohm grounding block at the point where the cable enters the house. Read the separate Consumer Product Safety Commission Information for

grounding instructions.

4Make a drip loop with the cable before it enters the house to avoid water following along the cable.

5Use a wall-through tube to neatly route the coaxial cable through the walls.

6Use only the length of cable that your installation requires. Do not coil extra cable behind the receiver. Cut it to the

correct length.
