• the amplified TV signal from the

antenna, through the power injector, to

the video equipment

If any devices (such as amplifiers, splitters,

combiners, matching transformers, 300-ohm

cable) are used in your home cabling system,

they must be connected between the power

injector and your video equipment. Any

devices connected between the power

injector and the antenna might cause a short

in the amplifier power source. If this happens,

the injector’s indicator does not light and the

signals to your video equipment (multiple TVs

or VCRs) might be significantly degraded.

Before installing your antenna, perform this

test to make sure it works properly.

1. Connect a temporary 75-ohm cable

between the power injector’s

ANT

75-

ohm jack and the antenna’s F-

connector.

±

2. Connect the power injector’s TV cable to

your TV’s VHF/UHF 75-ohm F-

connector.

3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s small

plug into the

DC 12V

jack on the power

injector.

±

4. Plug the supplied AC adapter into a

standard AC outlet. If the power

injector’s indicator lights, the antenna is

properly connected.

You can mount the antenna in an attic, closet

or other out-of-the way indoor location. The

antenna can be mounted on a horizontal

mast, closet rod, or on a short piece of mast

suspended from a roof support by a 4-inch

wall-mount bracket (not supplied, available at

RadioShack).

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.

For the best results, mount the antenna away

from trees or other obstructions. Higher

frequencies are noticeably affected by these

obstructions.

The antenna is easy to install on any antenna

mast or optional light-duty mount using

simple hand tools and the following additional

items (not supplied, available at

RadioShack).

• coax downlead (we recommend RG-6

cable for best performance)

• connection sealant tape or weather

boots

The antenna package includes these parts:

1. Attach the antenna mounting bracket to

the bottom of the antenna using the four

#12 (

and four #12 split lockwashers.

2. Attach both mast clamps, U-bolts, four

If installing the antenna in a motor home, we

recommend you use a 12V DC cord (not

supplied, available at your local RadioShack

store and online at RadioShack.com).
