3.4 Attaching to the Mast
Note

We recommend you get the help of another
person before you put up the mast or attach
your antenna to it. How you set up your mast
depends on your specific installation. Refer to the
separate Consumer Product Safety Commission
Information for recommended methods.
Slide the antenna's mast clamp assembly

over the end of the mast, with the plastic
brackets on top.
Tighten the mast clamp assembly's lock
2
nuts to hold the antenna in place. Do not
overtighten the lock nuts.
Warning
B
The crossover wires must not touch the
antenna boom, the mast, or each other.
If necessary, carefully bend the crossover wires
to provide at least 1/2 inch of clearance.

Set up the mast, then rotate it so the

antenna's shortest elements point toward
the stations you want to receive. Then
secure the mast into position.
Note
D
You can also put the antenna in an attic space.
You can mount it from a rafter or place
the antenna on the attic floor. However, we
recommend you use mounting hardware for a
secure attic installation.
3.5 R outing the Cable to Your TV/FM
Receiver
Use plastic tape to secure the coaxial cable
1
to the mast at about 3-foot intervals.
Use coaxial nail clips every few feet to
2
secure the cable between the mast and
where the cable enters the house.
Use a 75 ohm grounding block at the point
3
where the cable enters the house. Read
the separate Consumer Product Safety
Commission Information for
grounding instructions.
Make a drip loop with the cable before it
4
enters the house to avoid water following
along the cable.
