Proceed to insert UHF directors B1 , B2 and B3
into the corresponding booms main assembly
Aby inserting the director end insert into the
corresponding location in main assembly A(“b1”
into“a1”,“b2” into “a2”, and “b3”into“a3”) then secure
them using bolts Rand Sand nuts W.
The B1 , B2 , B3 UHF directors are dierent sizes
and lengths so make sure to insert them in the right
positions, the longest director B1 goes in the upper
position of the antenna and the shortest director
B3 goes in the lower position of the antenna.
Note: Tighten the nuts Wuntil the square carriage
heads of the bolts Rand Ssink into the aluminum
and the heads sit ush with the boom. The bolt base
will bite into the aluminum, securing the joint.
Place plastic UHF director spacers Dand Eon
the director booms to match the screw holes of
director(s) B1 , B2 & B3 elements. Secure them
with three Vphillips head screws.
Note: Be sure to place the spacers with the largest
opening (slot) for the directors on the shortest
bottom director B3 .
Move the top and bottom director booms
assembled in step 1 in the direction indicated by
the arrows on main assembly Auntil the horizontal
director elements of all three director booms line up.

Place the plastic spacers Fon the support braces
H, closer to the curved part of the support brace
as indicated. Slide the mounting clamp assemblies
Gon the support braces starting from the support
brace end that is not curved and tighten the bolts
loosely once in place over the plastic spacers F, as
they will be fully tightened later.
Note: The mounting clamp assemblies must
be installed so that the nuts face the left side of
the antenna, when looking from the back of the
antenna, to allow for vertical tilt once the antenna
has been installed on the mast. Before proceeding to
the next step make sure the plastic spacers Fand
mounting clamp assemblies Gare installed in the
right orientation.
Place the support brace assemblies completed on
step 4 on directors B1 (top) and B3 (bottom)
as indicated, and attach them with two pieces of
carriage bolt Tand nut Wper each support brace.
Make sure the U-bolt side of the mounting clamps
both are located on the left side of the support
braces looking at it from a rear view. Line up the
clamps so that they are ready for mounting once
assembly is complete.
Note: Tighten the nuts Wuntil the square carriage
head of the bolts Tsink into the aluminum and the
heads sit ush with the boom. The bolt base will bite
into the aluminum, securing the joint.
Mount the two black plastic locks Lon the rst rear
reector self-locking clamp Kbottom piece.
Locate the mounting hole on aluminum Main
assembly Anext to and behind the orange plastic
main body of the antenna, place self-locking clamp
Jtop piece on Alined up with the hole in Aand
bottom piece K, secure with bolt U(bolt Ugoes
through Jand threads into K).
Place the MUHF reectors (two pieces, one top and
one bottom) in the self-locking clamp completed
on step 6 by inserting the end of the receptor
without the grey plastic cap on it and with the black
plastic locking mechanism in an upward position
(unlocked).
Once the reectors are fully seated in the clamp (all
the way to the bottom of the slot), lock them in place
by rmly pressing down on the black plastic pieces
L.
An audible “click” will be heard when the reectors
are securely locked in place.

Mount the two black plastic locks Lon the second
rear receptor self-locking clamp Kbottom piece.
Locate the mounting hole on VHF reector
extension C, place self-locking clamp Jtop piece
lined up with the hole in Cand bottom piece K,
secure with bolt U(bolt Ugoes through Jand
threads into K).
Insert the end “c4” of the VHF reector extension C
into the end “a4” of main assembly A. Secure them
with bolt Sand nut W.
Note: Tighten the nut Wuntil the square carriage
head of the bolt Ssinks into the aluminum and the
bolt head sits ush with the boom. The bolt base will
bite into the aluminum, securing the joint.
Place the NVHF reectors (two pieces, one top and
one bottom) in the self-locking clamp by inserting
the end of the reector without the grey plastic cap
on it and with the black plastic locking mechanism
in an upward position (unlocked).
Once the reectors are fully seated in the clamp (all
the way to the bottom of the slot), lock them in place
by rmly pressing down on the black plastic pieces

Skip this step if using an already terminated coaxial
cable.
When using the provided weather boot and twist-on
connector on an unterminated coaxial cable, slide
the weather boot Qonto the coaxial cable and
properly terminate and t the twist-on connector
Pto the coaxial cable.
Pass the cable with the connector through the 2nd
slot in the lower reector.

Screw connector Ponto the dipole assembly
Oand tighten with a 7/16th wrench but do not
overtighten, then slide the weather boot Qover
the connector as far as it will go.
Insert the dipole assembly Ointo the antenna
orange junction box, sliding it through the guide
slot to the point where you will hear an audible
“click” indicating the dipole is latched into place and
fully seated in the main body of the antenna.
Visually check the dipole once installed to make sure
there are no gaps and that it did fully seat
Ensure that the longest boom is assembled to be
the top of the antenna as shown in the diagram. The
tilt/elevation adjustment on the mounting clamps,
shown in the diagram, allows for adjustment of the
vertical angle of the antenna as needed for optimum
reception. Starting from a horizontal position, use
the mounting clamps to adjust tilt/elevation if
needed for better antenna adjustment and to aim
over nearby obstacles.
The long booms are the front of the antenna, as
shown in the diagram, and should be pointed
generally, in the direction of the TV transmitter
towers. Adjusting the antenna slightly either left or
right of the direction of the TV transmitter towers
may actually yield better performance as it may
reduce some unwanted interfering signals.

Release the shackles from the mast clamps Gby
removing and saving the shackle and nuts. Place the
antenna assembly on the mast (not included) and
proceed to replace the shackles and tighten the nuts
to attach the assembly to the mast.
The “elevation screws” will allow you to adjust the
antenna elevation (level, up or down to optimize the
installation). Be sure to tighten these screws once
the desired antenna position is obtained.

FINAL NOTES:
- Following the provided instructions, connect the
included power supply to the antenna using the
leftmost connector (closest to wall power) with an
appropriate length of 75 ohm coax, RG-6 or larger is
recommended. Make sure than any device installed
between the power supply and the antenna, such as
a splitter, is DC power passing. The two connectors on
the right of the power supply are for connecting your
TV’s and/or coaxial distribution.
- It may be necessary to alternate adjustments between
left and right and then tilt, several times in order to
achieve peak signal reception for the largest number
of desired channels.
- The antenna will work in an un-amplied, pass-through
mode, if the power supply is not connected or power
fails to reach the antenna for any reason. However, it is
recommended to always use the antenna with power
applied in order to activate the industry leading,
TForce automatic gain preamp that is built in to the
antenna.
- Always be sure to follow all local, state, and national
electric codes. Seek the assistance of a local
professional if needed.
