IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• NEVER touch ANYTHING or ANYONE in contact with a

power line. You can be electrocuted. In case of an accident

or emergency, call 911 immediately for help.

• Inspect your installation site carefully for power lines.

Make sure there is no possibility the antenna, its

mounting structure or your ladder can come into

contact with power lines. Be sure to consider what can go

wrong during installation.

• KEEP the distance between power lines and the antenna

and its mounting structure at least 2 times the combined

height of the antenna and mounting structure added

together. In the event the antenna falls, during or after

assembly, there must be sufﬁcient distance to ensure it

does not come into contact with the power lines.

• KEEP your ladder, antenna and antenna mounting

structure, such as mast, pole, mount, far away from power

lines at all times.

• GROUND the antenna and the antenna mounting

structure in accordance with the NEC electrical

code, all state and local electrical code requirements

• COMPLETE the antenna assembly on the ground prior to

mounting.

• DO NOT use a metal ladder or install the antenna on a

windy day. If the antenna or mast starts to fall, drop them.

• EXERCISE caution when working on a roof.

• APPLY the danger label included to the base of the

antenna mounting structure.

• INFORM others of the danger of touching power lines or

touching other objects in contact with power lines.

• CONTACT a professional installer in your area to do the

antenna installation if you are unsure how to safely install

and ground this antenna.

SELECT AND MEASURE YOUR INSTALLATION SITE

Key things to consider in choosing the antenna installation

site are:

1) Choose a SAFE location that is far away from power lines.

Keep the distance between power lines and the

antenna and its mounting structure at least 2 times the

combined height of the antenna and its mounting structure

added together. Refer to the Important Safety

Instructions.

2) Determine the location of the broadcast towers in your

area. You will need to point the small end of your antenna

toward those towers. There are online resources such

as www.antennaweb.org that can help you identify your

local broadcast towers and the channels you can expect to

receive.

3) Check your local, city and state building and electrical

codes. Make sure your planned installation is safe and in

compliance with all applicable codes, rules and

regulations.

ASSEMBLING THE ANTENNA:

1) Connecting the VHF Dipole

a) Remove the foam block covering the bolts and nuts from the

antenna Main Boom.

b) Remove the nuts and lock washers from the bolts.

c) Connect together the two halves of the VHF Dipoles, one end is

tapered to slide into the other half as illustrated in (Fig. 1a).

Fig. 1a

d) Connect the VHF Dipoles onto the antenna Main Boom and slide

the two open ends over the protruding bolts from the antenna

Main Boom. Secure with the two tooth washers and nuts

previously removed. Do not overtighten the nuts onto the bolts

(Fig. 1b).

Fig. 1b

e) Using the M3 X 14mm Sheet Metal Screw, secure the other

side of the VHF Dipole to the antenna Main Boom (Fig. 1c).

Fig. 1c

2) Connecting the UHF Dipoles: (Part Labeled “C,” “B” and “A”)

a) On the antenna Main Boom, you will see the letter “C” embossed

on the boom; attach the Dipoles labeled “C” to the Main Boom

using the two M3 X 12mm Bolts and Nuts. (The “C” from the

Dipoles should be facing up.) Do not overtighten the bolts (Fig. 2a).

Fig. 2a

b) Attach in the same manor the Dipoles “B” and “A” using the

M3 X 8mm Sheet Metal Screws, being careful not to

overtighten the screws (Fig. 2b & Fig. 2c).

Fig. 2b Fig. 2c

3) Assembling the Reﬂector

Note: Before assembling the Reﬂector, you will notice that the holes on the

Reﬂector Brackets are not perfectly round and the center of the Reﬂector

Rods is slightly ﬂat. You will also see to indentations on each rod spaced

about 1.5” apart on all 12 rods; these indentations are there to help in

properly aligning the rods evenly in the Reﬂector Brackets.

When assembling the rods into the Reﬂector Brackets, do not force the

Reﬂector Rods into the brackets. Be careful in this part of the assembly so

that you do not bend the Reﬂector Rods.

a) Place one half of the Reﬂector Bracket on a ﬂat surface with the

clamping tabs facing up and the open end facing away from you.

b) Using your thumb, hold down the Reﬂector Bracket and with your

index ﬁnger; carefully lift up on the clamping tab.

c) With your other hand, slide one of the Reﬂector Rods into the

bracket being sure to slide the Reﬂector Rod under the clamping

tab, the rod will stop sliding in when the ﬂat part of the rod reaches

the opening on the Reﬂector Bracket. At this point, slightly twist

the reﬂector rod until the ﬂat portion of the rod aligns with the ﬂat

part of the hole on the Reﬂector Bracket. Finish sliding in the

Reﬂector Rod until the clamping tab is in the middle of the two

indentations (Fig. 3a & Fig. 3b).

Fig. 3a

Fig. 3b

d) Repeat the above process for the other ﬁve Reﬂector Rods and the

second half of the Reﬂector Bracket and rods.
