NOTE

If FM interference is a problem in your area, it is recom- mended that you temporarily hook up the preamplifier near the TV for ease of tuning the variable FM trap.

PREAMPLIFIER INSTALLATION

STEP 1. Mount the preamplifier on the mast within easy reach. See Figure 1.

NOTE

The further the preamplifier from the antenna(s), the lower the input signal.

STEP 2. Slide weather boots over the antenna downlead(s) and attach connectors. See Figure 2.

STEP 3.Attach the antenna downlead(s) to antenna(s) and other end(s) to preamplifier, leaving a sufficient slack in the cable(s) to form a drain loop. See Figure 3.

STEP 4. Slide the weather boots over the cable connector(s) and boot collar(s) on the preamplifier and antenna(s).

STEP 5. The 75 ohm coaxial downlead may be secured to the mast with weatherproof tape or cable ties.

STEP 6. Attach “F” connector on downlead cable from preamp to Power Injector jack marked “ANT”. See figure 4.

STEP 7. Attach “F” connector on cable from DTV, Digital

Converter box, Distribution Amplifier, or splitter system to jack on Power Injecter marked TV. See figure 4.

STEP 8. Connect one “F” connector on supplied black RG-6

cable to jack on Power Injecter marked “PWR IN”. Connect the other “F” connector on supplied RG-6 cable to jack on supplied AC Adapter (Wall Transformer). See Figure 4.

STEP 9. Mount power injector to wall using supplied screws. Plug in AC Adapter (Wall Transformer) into household wall

outlet.
