Pole Mounting  

Attach the antenna to any pole (not larger than two inches in diameter) using the  
U-bolt and saddle with supplied attaching hardware as shown in the following 
figures.

 2” DirecTV Pole 

Saddle

1 ¾” Dish Network Pole 

NOTE:

 For operation in close proximity to high power satellite radio terrestrial 

repeaters, please use the supplied 20 dB attenuator on the input of the splitter to 
avoid amplifier overload. Otherwise this attenuator is not required. 

Hookup  

After the antenna is mounted, refer to the diagram on page 2, connect cables, attach 
the splitter, adjust the antenna position, and finalize the installation as follows: 

1.  Attach the RG-6 cable from the antenna to the splitter port labeled 

IN

.   

2.  Attach an RG-6 cable from one of the 

OUT

 ports and route the cable to the 

radio.  (If the radio is located by the splitter, you can use the included  
F-male splice). 

NOTE:

 For best results in all configurations, use quad-shielded RG-6 cable 

whenever possible. 

3.  Using the supplied 3-foot F-Female to SMB adapter cable, connect the  

RG-6 coaxial cable from the antenna to the radio’s antenna input. 

4.  Adjust the azimuth and elevation pointing of the antenna for best reception 

using the antenna signal strength menu in the radio. The antenna has a beam 
width of ± 25º, which is narrower than standard consumer-quality home-kit 
antennas, but provides higher gain and rejection to multi-path interference.  
 
The “Appendix”, which starts on page 10, lists exact magnetic azimuth 
bearings and elevation pointing angles for many major cities throughout the 
US and Canada.  

5.  Tighten all hardware and seal the outdoor connectors using the included 

weather boot or other means to prevent moisture ingress.
