WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,
DO NOT EXPOSE POWER SUPPLY SECTION OF THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
If FM interference is a problem in your area, it is recom-
mended that you temporarily hook up the preamplifier near
the TV for ease of tuning the variable FM trap.

PREAMPLIFIER INSTALLATION

STEP 1. Mount the preamplifier on the mast within easy reach.
See Figure 1.
The further the preamplifier from the antenna(s), the lower
the input signal.
STEP 2. Slide weather boots over the antenna downlead(s) and
attach connectors. See Figure 2.
STEP 3. Attach the antenna downlead(s) to antenna(s) and other
end(s) to preamplifier, leaving a sufficient slack in the cable(s)
to form a drain loop. See Figure 3.
STEP 4. Slide the weather boots over the cable connector(s)
and boot collar(s) on the preamplifier and antenna(s).
STEP 5. The 75 ohm coaxial downlead may be secured to the
mast with weatherproof tape or cable ties.
STEP 6. Attach "F" connector on downlead cable from preamp
to Power Injector jack marked "ANT". See figure 4.
STEP 7. Attach "F" connector on cable from DTV, Digital
Converter box, Distribution Amplifier, or splitter system to jack
on Power Injecter marked TV. See figure 4.
STEP 8. Connect one "F" connector on supplied black RG-6
cable to jack on Power Injecter marked "PWR IN". Connect
the other "F" connector on supplied RG-6 cable to jack on
supplied AC Adapter (Wall Transformer). See Figure 4.
