SAT/ANT
• Use plastic tape or mast standoff insulators to secure the
coaxial cable to the mast at about 3-foot intervals. Con-
tinue down the roof and the side of the house using roof
and wall standoff insulators.
• Use coaxial cable nail-in clips every few feet to secure
the cable between the mast and where the cable enters
the house.
• Use a 75-ohm grounding block at the point where the
coaxial cable enters the house. Read the Consumer
Product Safety Commission sheet for grounding instruc-
tions.
• Use a wall-through lead-in tube (not supplied) to neatly
route the coaxial cable through walls.

7. When you finish making all connections, rotate the antenna
to a position that gives you the best reception.
For Local Reception Only
To mount the antenna by itself for local reception only, you will
need a mast and mast mounting hardware, available at your lo-
cal RadioShack store.
With the antenna's bottom side facing downward, slide the an-
tenna's U-bolt over the top of the mast. Tighten the mast clamp
assembly's nuts until it securely holds the antenna in a horizon-
tal position. Do not overtighten the nuts.
Follow the guidelines listed in Step 5 to route the coaxial cable
from the antenna into the house.
When you finish making all connections, rotate the antenna to a
position that gives you the best reception.
