as indicated. Slide the mounting clamp assemblies
Ion 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 H, 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 Hand
mounting clamp assemblies Iare 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 AC and nut BA per 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 BA until the square carriage
head of the bolts AC sink into the aluminum and
the heads sit ush with the boom. The bolt base will
bite into the aluminum, securing the joint.

Join both sections of the main antenna boom by
inserting the end (c4) of the Low-VHF assembly C
into the end (a4) of the main assembly A.
To ensure a strong joint, place pieces Jon both
sides of the holes of the end (a4) and fasten them
with the use of the bolt AB and the nut BA .
Using the hole in supports Jas a reference, place
them so the shorter distance is pointing toward
front of the antenna at the UHF dipole.
Screw the metal plates Nto the unattached ends
of the BI dipole Swith the use of the pieces Land
the screws AH .
The screws AH must go through the holes of the
metal plates N, the pieces L, and the unattached
ends of the dipole S. Then, screw them to the
orange plastic pieces M.
Note: The steps in Section 13 allow for an electrical
connection between the main Dipole of
the antenna and the Low VHF Dipole. It is
important to use the pieces Lin this location
to ensure proper spacing and connection
between the ends of the Low VHF Dipole
S, otherwise the antenna will not receive the
Low VHF stations properly.

Place the RVHF 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

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.
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 Vonto the coaxial cable and
properly terminate and t the twist-on connector
Uto the coaxial cable.
Pass the cable with the connector through the 2nd
slot in the lower reector.
Screw connector Uonto the dipole assembly
Tand tighten with a 7/16th wrench but do not
overtighten, then slide the weather boot Vover
the connector as far as it will go.
Elevation screws
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.

Safety Instructions:
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
If installed outdoors, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, or
CSA C22.1 sections 10, 16, and 54, of the Canadian Electrical Code,
provide information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the antenna lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode (see gure and
instructions).
Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm coaxial grounding block as
close as possible to where the 75 ohm coaxial cable down lead enters
the house.
The ground wires for both the mast and the down lead should be
copper or aluminium wire, number eight (8) or larger.
The down lead wire from the antenna to the lightning arrestor and
the mast ground wire should be secured to the house, spaced from
four (4) to six (6) feet apart.
In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation it may not be
necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends four or more feet
in the earth. Consult a TV serviceman for the proper depth in your
location.
WARNINGS
To prevent re or shock hazard, do not expose the included power
supply to rain or moisture.
Installation of o-air antennas near power lines is dangerous. For
your safety, follow the installation instructions.
Any alteration or modication to the product or usage not in
accordance with product instructions voids the warranty.
