Antenna Assembly
Start by placing the FreeVision antenna on a flat
surface so that the molded "Winegard FreeVision"
Logo on the front of the unit is facing up, Figure 1.
Lift the forward elements up until the holes in the
elements line up.
With the holes lined up, install the UHF element by
inserting the threaded posts into the holes in the
forward elements. The threaded posts should extend
down towards the body of the FreeVision antenna.
Thread the supplied nuts on the back of the threaded
posts. DO NOT tighten at this time.
Thread the coax cable through the body of the
FreeVision antenna and connect it to the matching
transformer. See Figure 2.
For an indoor installation, use the 6' long mini coax
cable (provided). If a longer cable is desired, you can
use or add a standard RG59/U or RG6/U coax cable
to the mini coax cable as needed by using an FS-8100
cable to cable connector.
For an outdoor installation, connect the cable that will
run from the antenna into the building.
Remove and dispose of the rubber boot on the
matching transformer before installing the matching
transformer in the body of the FreeVision antenna as
shown in Figures 2 and 3.
Once the matching transformer is installed into the
body of the FreeVision antenna, slide one of the forks
of the matching transformer between the two forward
elements on the threaded post. Repeat this process
for the other post. See Figure 4.
Tighten the nuts making sure the matching transformer
is still connected.
