• 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).
