Lift the forward elements until the holes in the elements line up (Figure 2).

With the holes lined up, install the UHF element by inserting the threaded posts
into the holes in the forward elements. The threaded posts should extend down
towards the body of the FREEVISION antenna as in Figure 3.

Thread the supplied 10-32 hex flange nuts on the back of the threaded posts. DO
NOT tighten at this time.

With the logo facing up, thread the coax cable through the bottom of the
FreeVision antenna. Connect the coax cable to the matching transformer. See
Figure 5. For an indoor installation, use the provided 6' mini coax cable. (If longer
cable is desired, you can use or add a standard RG59/U or RG6/U coax cable to
the mini coax cable as needed with an FS-8100 cable to cable connector.) For
an outdoor installation, connect the cable that will run from the antenna into the
building.
Insert the coax and matching transformer into the installation place. Then, slide
one of the forks of the matching transformer between the two forward elements
on the threaded post. Repeat this process for the other post. See Figure 6.
Tighten the nuts, making sure the matching transformer is still connected.
Check that you are within a 30 mile range of the stations that you want to
Forks
receive. The antenna has an approximate range of 30 miles when installed outside.
For a listing of likely channels available in your area, go online to www.tvfool.com
or antennaweb.org. On each of these sites, you can enter your address and get a
listing of likely channels available in your area along with the compass heading for
each station's tower. For most locations, stations will only come from one or two
directions. If the compass headings are similar (<30° apart), the FREEVISION can be
aimed between the two areas and receive signals from each location.
