Page 3: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions Warning! Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna that is located close to overhead wires such as power lines, telephone lines or cable TV lines. If any part of the antenna makes contact with overhead power lines, touching the antenna or the antenna cable can cause electrocution and death. - Page 4 Please read and follow these important safety precautions: • Be sure to select an antenna site well away from all overhead wires. • Do not try to guess which overhead wires carry high voltage. Check with the Power Company. • If you notice anything making contact with the overhead wires, call the Power Company to have it removed safely.

- Page 17 Under a Window: 1. Connect one end of the supplied RG6 coaxial cable to the “F”- connector output on the end of the TV55 and connect the other end to the 9 3/4" white flat cable. Note: If the supplied RG6 Coaxial Cable is not long enough, you can purchase additional lengths of RG6 Coaxial Cable from the retailer you purchased the TV55 antenna from.
- Page 18 Water Damage Prevention: At the point where your coaxial cable lead enters the house, you should allow for some slack in the coaxial cable as a “drip loop.” This will prevent moisture from running down the coaxial cable and entering the house. Run the coaxial cable approximately six inches below the wall entry point and then turn it upwards towards this spot.
