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.
