Safety Recommendations

Choosing a Location for the Antenna &Power Supply

Choosing a Mounting Option

24”

Do not attempt to install this system in

the rain or under any wet conditions.

Do not paint this antenna. Painting

the antenna will void your warranty.

Before mounting the antenna,

determine a location for the wall

plate/power supply.

Keep in mind the following:

A coaxial cable will have to run

from the the power supply to the

antenna and from the power supply

to each television.

A 12 V connection must be made to

the back of the power supply.

Refer to the diagram on page 7 for

more information on connecting to

the power supply.

Then, choose a location for the

antenna that meets the following

requirements:

Offers enough support for a secure

installation

Maintains adequate clearance

from the edge of the roof and any

obstructions

• clearance distance of 24 in.

needed from center of antenna to

front of the vehicle

• clearance distance of 18 in.

needed from center of antenna

to nearest obstruction and to the

edge of the roof

For cable entry directly beneath the

antenna, follow the steps on page 3

under “Mounting Option 1.”

If installing the antenna so that the cable enters the vehicle directly

beneath the antenna, follow the steps below for Mounting Option 1.

Make sure the ceiling area is clear underneath

the chosen location for the antenna.

Run coaxial cable from the chosen location for

the power supply to the chosen location for

the antenna.

Run the cable upward through the pedestal.

Connect the coaxial cable running

through the pedestal to the coaxial

cable running from the antenna

head.

Place the pedestal in the chosen

location for the antenna, and trace

around the inner and outer edge of

the pedestal.

Check with the vehicle

manufacturer for approved sealant

for the vehicle.

Apply a liberal amount of sealant around the traced circle.

Replace the pedestal where the sealant has been applied.

Before using the supplied screws, check with the vehicle manufacturer

for any screw requirements.

Mount the assembly to the roof with four screws, and tighten the

four screws.

Twist the antenna head back and forth while pushing it onto the pedestal.

The pedestal should engage with the snap ring inside the antenna head.

While applying pressure, rotate the

head until feeling the grooves in

the head line up with the grooves

in the pedestal.

Push down again; you should hear

the head click into place.

Warning: Once the head and pedestal

are connected, the head cannot be

removed without incurring damage.

Check that the scribe line on the

pedestal is no longer visible. If the

scribe line is still visible, the head is

not fully seated on the pedestal.

Pull the antenna head upward. If

the head is unable to slide upward

on the pedestal, the head is fully

seated on the pedestal. If the head

slides upward, the head is not fully

seated on the pedestal.

If the antenna head is not fully

seated on the pedestal, repeat the

steps on this page to connect the

antenna head to the pedestal.

Do not proceed until the head is fully seated on the pedestal.

Once the head is fully seated on the pedestal, continue with “Installing the

Power Supply” on page 7. If the power supply is already installed, make

sure to run a channel scan after installing the antenna. See page 8 for

more information.

Mounting Option 2

10.

If installing the antenna so that the cable enters the vehicle via a cable entry

plate (sold separately), follow the steps below for Mounting Option 2.

Run coaxial cable from the power supply to the antenna via the cable

entry plate. The antenna needs to be at least 8 inches from the cable

entry plate. Do not fasten the coaxial cable at this point because

additional coaxial cable is required later (see step 18).

Place the pedestal in the chosen location for the antenna, and trace

around the outer edge of the pedestal.

Check with the vehicle manufacturer for approved sealant for the vehicle.

Apply a liberal amount of sealant in the traced circle.

Replace the pedestal where the sealant

has been applied and run the coaxial cable

upward through the antenna pedestal. Make

sure the cable runs through the slot on the

underside of the pedestal.

Connect the coaxial cable running

through the pedestal to the

coaxial cable running from the

antenna head.

Before using the supplied screws,

check with the vehicle manufacturer

for any screw requirements.

Mount the assembly to the roof

with four screws, and tighten the

four screws.

Gently push the cable slack downward through the pedestal, and pull the

cable through the slot.

Twist the antenna head back and forth while pushing it onto the pedestal.

The pedestal should engage with the snap ring inside the antenna head.

is unable to slide upward on the pedestal,

the head is fully seated on the pedestal. If

the head slides upward, the head is not fully

seated on the pedestal.

If the antenna head is not fully seated on the

pedestal, repeat the steps to connect the

antenna head to the pedestal.

Do not proceed until the head is fully seated

on the pedestal.

Pull the cable away from the antenna.

At a point 4” from the antenna along the excess cable, create a loop of

5” diameter between the antenna and entry plate. Clamp at the top of the

loop, at 8” linear distance from the antenna, and every 12–16” thereon

along the cable.

Run a solid bead of sealant where the edge of the pedestal meets the roof,

over the screw heads and around the slot in the pedestal.

Continue with “Installing the Power Supply” on page 7. If the power

supply is already installed, make sure to run a channel scan after installing

the antenna. See page 8 for more information.

Installing the Power Supply

The power supply may be flush

mounted in most standard electrical

boxes. To flush mount, cut a hole in

the wall to fit the box. Run two #12

wires between the wall plate and +12

VDC source, and route downlead

cable to this location.

Make a 12 volt connection to the

power supply. Install the supplied

terminals on wires from +12 VDC

source, and crimp the terminals with

an appropriate crimping tool.

Push the wires onto tabs on the

back of the power supply. (“PWR”

and “GND” are also noted on the

underside of the power supply

electronics board.)

Connect the coax cable from the

antenna to the “ANTENNA” port on

the power supply, and tighten until

fingertight. Then, tighten ¼ turn more.

If hooking up the antenna to two

televisions, connect a coax cable from

the “SET 2” port to the “Antenna In”

port on the second television.

If hooking up a cable input, connect

the cable input to the “CABLE” port

on the power supply.

Mount the power supply in wall with

the provided screws.

Connect a coax cable from the coax

port on the front of the power supply

to the “Antenna In” coax port on the

main TV.

Press the “ON” switch on the front of

the power supply, and check that the

light is on.

This unit is equipped with a

polyswitch, which will shut down

+12 VDC if there is a direct short

between the antenna and power

supply. The indicator light will not

light. Once the short is eliminated, the

device will reset itself.

Warning: The power supply should be turned off when connecting cables.

Running a Channel Scan

First time users must run a channel

scan after installing the antenna to

receive maximum programming.

A new scan will find any new

channels that have been added in

your area as well as finding any

channels that have changed or

moved since the last scan.

While the steps to perform a

channel scan may vary between

televisions or compatible devices,

below are some general guidelines

to follow. For more specific

instructions, refer to your device

user manual for assistance.

General Instructions

1. Using the remote that came with

the TV or compatible device,

select “Menu.”

2. Select “Channel Setup.”

3. Select “Antenna” or “Off-Air

Mode” or “Auto-Scan.”

4. Select “Channel Search” or

“Channel Scan.”

Run a channel scan in the following

situations, as well:

• Anytime the antenna is moved

or enters a new region

• Anytime a channel is lost

Once you have run a channel scan,

you are ready to watch TV.

If you are not receiving all desired channels, check out dtv.gov/maps. On

this site, you can enter the address of your current location and get a listing

of likely channels available in your area.

Troubleshooting

Testing Power Supply

For Technical Services,

email [email protected] or call 1-800-788-4417.

Do not install couplers, splitters, etc.

between the power supply and the

antenna. Installation of any item on

the downlead may cause a short in the

system. The downlead supplies +12

VDC to the preamp in the antenna.

The power supply should be turned

OFF when connecting/disconnecting

cables to power supply and antenna

but should be turned ON when

testing for voltage.

Make sure the TV set is

working properly.

Remove the power supply from

wall, and visually inspect for

burned/broken parts. If there are

ANY broken/burned parts, replace

power supply.

Disconnect the cable from the

antenna jack on the power supply.

Check for +12 VDC. If +12 VDC is

present, there is a cable problem

connecting the power supply to the

antenna. Repair/replace cable.

If +12 VDC is not present at the

antenna jack, be sure the indicator

light is ON. If not, check the polarity

of the red/white wires and the +12

VDC source.
