Installation Instructions

For optimum results install the aerial using double screened digital coax
cable and screened coax outlets. You will need to fit the coax cable with an
F type connector to connect to the aerial balun.
1. Prepare the Coax Cable: Firstly fit the rubber weather boot
provided, to the aerial end of the cable. Strip the end of the cable
as shown in Fig. 1. Once you have stripped the cable, twist the
braid and pull it back on itself, make sure that no braid is
touching the copper core, this will cause a short on
the cable and you will not get any signal.
2. Fitting the F connector: Now, simply twist on the 'F'
connector and trim central conductor. Connect to the 'F'
socket on the aerial balun making sure that the weather boot is
correctly secured over the 'F' connector and socket - see Fig. 2.
The diagram above shows the aerial fully assembled and shows the direction
to unfold the booms prior to assembly
