INSTALLATION
Notice:
For the best reception, please check the following conditions
1. Place antenna as far as possible from potential sources of interference: i.e. large power
consumption devices, such as air conditioners, elevators, hair dryers and microwave ovens.
2. Install antenna as high as possible to provide a clear line of sight to the transmission tower:
With digital terrestrial reception, if there are obstructions between the antenna and
transmission tower, it can cause signal loss.
INSTALLATION POWERED BY THE SATELLITE RECEIVER USING (2) DIPLEXERS
Normal installation is similar to above diagram. Be certain that the satellite receiver is turned
off and disconnected from AC power prior to making any connections.

CONNECTION POWERED BY THE POWER SUPPLY AND POWER INSERTER
Step 1 Connect one F male end of the 1-meter Coaxial Cable to the F female end on
your TV Set, and the other F male end of the coaxial cable to the “receiver"
outlet of the power inserter. Connect the F male end (with weather boot) of the
3-meter Coaxial Cable to the F female end of the CHO5002 and the other F
male end of the coaxial cable to the “antenna” outlet of the power inserter.
NOTE: The 3-meter coaxial cable is provided for indoor use, for your
convenience. For most outdoor installations, additional length of RG-6
coaxial cable (not included) is required, depending on your individual
circumstances.
Step 2 Connect the barrel end of the AC-DCAdaptor to the DC input of Power inserter,
and plug the AC end into the AC Outlet. Please note: use only supplied AC
adaptor.
All the connections should be fixed and tight. It is recommended that you have a
water-drip loop at the end of the cable before entering the home.

INDOOR /OUTDOOR WALL MOUNTED INSTALLATION
Step 1 Mark the fixing position of the
multi-directional base with a pencil.
To install on a wooden wall:
Step 2 Use the screws provided to attach
the base onto the wall.
Step 3 Fix the main unit onto the base.
To install onto a brick wall or RC wall:
Step 2 Using 1/4" drill bit, drill to a depth of
1-3/8". Then clean the hole. (NOTE:
When using the electric drill, be sure
to wear proper protection. Be sure the
drill bit is fixed securely, or serious
injury could occur).
Step 3 Use a hammer to insert the provided
anchors into the holes made by step 2.
Step 4 Use a screw driver to insert the provided
screws through the base and into the
anchors.
Step 5 Fix the main unit onto the base.
POLE MOUNTED APPLICATION
Step 1 Place the 2 U-bolts around the pole, lining
up the threads of the bolts with the holes in
the multi-directional base.
Step 2 Place the base against the pole as shown
below, so that the bolt threads go through
the mounting holes on the base.
Step 3 Use the 4 provided wing-nuts to fasten the
U-bolts tightly against the pole.
Step 4 Fix the main unit onto the base.
When the installation is complete, use your TV or Set Top Box to check the
signal strength and quality. If the quality is not as expected, move the
antenna to get the best reception position. When you find the best position,
secure the antenna.
