INSTALLATION
1. Attach one set of grommets (parts 1 & 2) to each hole on
the antenna, making sure the larger part of the grommet
is on the back of the antenna.
2. Place the antenna in its mounting location, mark the

ANTENNA GROUNDING & CONNECTION
(Outdoor installations only)
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires your outdoor
antenna installation to be properly grounded. This involves
grounding the antenna and the antenna mounting structure
such as a metal pole, mast, tower, etc. It helps protect
you and your property in the event of static buildup on
the antenna or lightning near your home. This antenna is
mounted on an exterior wall, under the eave or in an attic,
therefore, there is no mounting structure to be grounded.
NOTE: If you had a satellite or cable system installed at your home,
you may be able to use some parts from this system for your antenna
installation.
Outdoor Antenna Connection:
1. Use an outdoor-rated coax cable to connect the antenna
to the 75-ohm grounding block (not provided). Fig. 1a is
an example of a 75-ohm grounding block. Verify that the
grounding block is properly grounded. See Grounding
Block How-To.
If you make your own coax cable, slide the rubber boot over
the cable before you place the connectors on the cable.
Once you have attached the cable to the antenna, slide the
rubber boot into the round channel on the antenna.
If you are using a pre-built cable with connectors, follow
these steps.
a. Cut four slits spaced evenly apart at the narrow tip of the
