Antenna Assembly

STEP 1.

2 STEP 2.
Place the mast clamp (#15) on the bottom portion of the antenna assembly (#1). Set the lower adapter (#11) on top of the mast clamp (#15) and align the holes. Use two bolts (#12) with washers (#13) and turn bolts three times by hand to loosely secure, them to allow for the placement of the J-pipe (#6) at a later step.

3 STEP 3.
Align the two VHF antenna elements (#2) with the holes on the center slot directly above the coax connector of the antenna assembly (#1). Attach using two 3/4” machine screws (#9) and hand-tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Electronics are located underneath and over- tightening could cause damage to the functionality of the antenna.

4 STEP 4.
Slide the reflector elements (#4) into the slots of the reflector assembly (#3). When sliding, push down the middle tabs of the reflector assembly (#3) to allow the elements to pass through. Continue sliding the element until it clicks in the middle hole. Repeat this process for the remaining five elements.

5 STEP 5.
Attach the completed reflector assembly (#3) to the main antenna assembly (#1), making sure the up arrow on the reflector assembly (#3) is going in the proper direction. Align the two holes on the reflector assembly (#3) with the holes on the upper adapter (#10) and lower adapter (#11). Attach with two 5/8” Plastic screws (#8) and hand-tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.

6 STEP 6.
Determine the desired installation location of the antenna and install the mounting foot (#5) in the preferred location. (Hardware not provided). See WARNINGS.
WARNINGS:
Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. The antenna should maintain a minimum clearance of 3’ from power lines, wires, trees, or other obstructions. If unable to maintain this safe distance, stop! If you are not sure that you can install the antenna safely, do not try it! Contact a professional installer.
To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose the power inserter to moisture.
Do not install the power inserter outdoors; it is intended for indoor use only not connect a cable from the “ANT/AMP” port of the power inserter to the TV. Incorrectly connecting the power inserter will overload & damage the power inserter.
Check your local code for grounding specifications.
STEP 7.
Attach the J-pipe (#6) to the installed mount foot (#5) by inserting one bolt (#12) with washer (#13) into the top single hole of the mounting foot (#5) through the top hole on the bottom of the J-pipe (#6). Adjust the angle of the J-pipe (#6) so the front of the mounted antenna will be as close to vertical as possible.

7 Once the desired angle is established, insert a bolt (#12) with a washer (#13) into the appropriate hole on the mounting foot (#5) and through the bottom slot of the J-pipe (#6). Finish attaching both bolts (#12) with washers (#13) and nuts (#14) and tighten using a 7/16” wrench.
STEP 8.
Attach the completed antenna assembly (#1) to the J-pipe (#6) by sliding the antenna assembly onto the J-pipe (#6) through the mast clamp (#15)/lower adapter (#11). Make sure the up arrow on the antenna assembly is going in the proper direction.
STEP 9.
Position the antenna toward the broadcast tower for optimal reception. Once the antenna is pointed in the proper direction, tighten the lower adapter (#11) bolts with a 7/16” wrench to secure the antenna to the J-pipe (#6).
STEP 10.
Install coaxial cable (sold separately). Tighten coax connections until the finger is tight. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Weather-proof connector recommended. Once the antenna is pointed in the proper direction and cables have been connected, run a channel scan, and note all channels that you are receiving. Try repositioning the antenna head on the pipe, and re-run a channel scan every time the antenna is repositioned, again noting all channels that you are receiving. Repeat until satisfied with the channels found.
