USING THE RUBBER BOOT
• Use the included rubber boot to help protect the coaxial connection to the antenna from
environmental elements.
1 Cut four, evenly-spaced slits into the narrow end of the rubber boot.
2 Run the coaxial cable through the narrow end of the rubber boot,
then connect the coaxial cable to the antenna's coaxial jack.
3 Slide the rubber boot into the round channel on the antenna.
4 Wrap the included zip tie around the four slits on the narrow end
of the rubber boot, then pull the tie tight.
• Leave enough slack in the coaxial cable to create a drip loop. This will
prevent unwanted moisture from entering your house.
• Seal the coaxial cable's entry point into your house with exterior caulk.
