pivot points and pull them away from the boom
until they snap into the locking support brackets.
D Note
You may wait to unfold the elements until you
get the antenna up on the roof or in your attic.

Do not pull the elements near their outer ends
or you could damage them.
3.4 Attaching to the Mast
(mast not included)
D Note
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 specic installation. Refer to the
separate Consumer Product Safety Commission
Information for recommended methods.
1 Slide the antenna’s mast clamp assembly
over the end of the mast, with the plastic
brackets on top.
2 Tighten the mast clamp assembly’s lock
nuts to hold the antenna in place. Do not
overtighten the lock nuts.
B Warning
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. 5

D Note
You can also put the antenna in an attic space.
You can mount it from a rafter or place
the antenna on the attic oor. However, we
recommend you use mounting hardware for a
secure attic installation.
3.5 Routing the Cable to Your TV/FM
Receiver
1 Use plastic tape to secure the coaxial cable
to the mast at about 3-foot intervals.
2
Use coaxial nail clips every few feet to
secure the cable between the mast and
where the cable enters the house.
3 Use 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.
4 Make a drip loop with the cable before it
enters the house to avoid water following
along the cable.
