    Step 3 If you lose control of the mast while raising it, make sure that it does not fall in the wrong direction. Use a durable non-conductive rope secured at each 2-foot level as the mast is raised. Have an assistant tend the rope, ready to pull the mast clear of any hazards (such as power lines) if it begins to fall.
  • Page 5: Choosing A Mounting Location

    Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions.
  • Page 6: Mounting The Antenna

    Mounting the Antenna The antenna is provided with a mast mounting kit that allows you to mount the antenna to masts up to 1 5/8 in. in diameter. Figure 1 shows how the antenna should be mounted to a mast or wall.
  • Page 7 Use a 7/16-in (11.1-mm) wrench or suitable adjustable wrench to secure the assembly to the mast. Step 4 Tighten the locknuts to a point where the antenna does not slide down the mast but is loose enough for you to rotate.
