Installation
1. With two 1" #6 screws, mount the
brick or cement surface. Use nylon screw anchors on all mounting
surfaces other than wood.
2. To ground the Amp, insert #6–#14 gauge grounding wire in the

4. Follow the Local Powering (A) or Remote Powering (B) instructions.
A. For Local Powering
A1. Connect the subscriber's TV set(s) or cable converter(s) to the
output(s) on the
DROP
normally used to connect a cable modem or interactive set-top
box. Install 75-ohm terminators on any unused outputs.
A2. Use coaxial cable with a male F-type connector at each end to
connect the wall adapter to the

signal is not amplified), check for a short circuit on the coaxial cable
between the Amp and the wall adapter. Repair the short circuit,
DROP
and then reset the wall adapter as follows:
Unplug the wall adapter from the power source, and wait 20 seconds.

This resets the overload protection device (PTC), where applicable.
Plug the wall adapter back into the power source. The

green power LED should now be lit brightly. If the LED is dim,
repeat the reset procedure. If problems persist, contact
