Water Damage Prevention:
At the point where your coaxial cable lead enters the house, you should
allow for some slack in the coaxial cable as a "drip loop." This will prevent
moisture from running down the coaxial cable and entering the house.
Run the coaxial cable approximately six inches below the wall entry point
and then turn it upwards towards this spot. Any moisture that accumulates
on the coaxial cable will drip off in the bend instead of running into the
house. You should seal the point where the cable enters your home with
a rubber weather insulator or silicone caulking (not included). An "F"
connector wall plate can be used inside the home to cover the inside
portion of the hole. You can typically find an "F" connector wall plate at
any local electronics or hardware store.
1. Run an RG6 coaxial cable from the antenna
towards your television set. Connect the
RG6 coaxial cable to the ANT jack on the
supplied amplifier insert.
2. Connect built-in coaxial cable on the
amplifier insert to the antenna input jack on
your TV or converter box.
Note: If you want to split the signal coming
from the antenna, connect the short coaxial
cable built into the amplifier insert to your
splitter (splitter sold separately). DO NOT
PUT THE SIGNAL SPLITTER BETWEEN THE
AMPLIFIER INSERT AND THE ANTENNA.
3. After all other connections are made,
connect the power adapter into the
amplifier insert. Plug it into a standard AC
outlet.
Important: This power adapter should be
plugged in so that it stays vertical or lays
flat.
The amplifier insert should always be
located indoors.
