Mounting The Antenna

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. The antenna pack-
age includes these parts:
Antenna
Antenna Mounting Bracket
Mast Clamps
1/4" U-Bolts
1/4" Split Lockwashers
1/4-20" Hex Nuts
#12 x 1/2" Long Self-Tapping Screws
#12 Split Lockwashers
Power Injector
AC Adapter
4-Piece Off-Air Mounting Kit
Outside Mounting
1. Attach the antenna mounting bracket to the bottom of the
antenna using the four #12 x 1/2" long self tapping screws
and four #12 split lockwashers
2. Attach both mast clamps, U-bolts, four 1/4" split lockwash-
ers, and four 1/4-20 hex nuts to the mounting bracket.

3. Plug one end of the 75-ohm coaxial downlead cable to the
antenna's jack and seal the connection with coax sealant tape
4
or a weather boot.

Note: If your existing downlead is 300-ohm cable, you must
4
replace it with 75-ohm coaxial cable. (300-ohm cable requires a
matching transformer that significantly interferes with the
4
antenna's operation.)

4. Mount the antenna on the mast, and secure it by tightening
1
the hex nuts evenly onto the U-bolts.
