Installation and Setup
Place any metal rod that is between 3/8 to 1 inch in diameter or included ground rod into the ground, then slip our

(make sure the jumper wire is not laying on or touching the ground). Last, connect your coax to the connector on the
bottom of the Alpha Match and run the coax to your external tuner.

touch any part of the antenna while transmitting.

YOU, YOUR ANTENNA, AND SAFETY
Each year, hundreds of people are killed, mutilated, or receive severe and permanent injuries when
attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution,
but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good
installation, please READ and FOLLOW the safety precautions.
