1. Connect the coax downlead from the antenna to the ANT
jack on the power injector
2. If your TV has an F connector, connect the short piece of coax
cable from the power injector to your TV’s VHF/UHF 75-
ohm F connector.
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.
Connecting The Antenna To Your TV
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.
Lightning Protection
(When Mounting The Antenna Outside)
Ground wires for both the mast and downlead should be
copper or aluminum wire, 8 AWG or larger.
Mount a grounding block, not supplied, as close as possible
to where the downlead enters the house.
Downlead wire from the antenna to the grounding block and
the mast ground wire should be secured to the house with
stand-off insulators, spaced 4 - 6 feet apart.
For a “ground - up” antenna installation, you might not need
to go around the mast if the mast extends 4 or more feet into
the earth.
