WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THIS ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS
DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.
STEP 5. To attach the cartridge housing to
the antenna, align the snaps on the car-
tridge housing with the snap holes on the
cartridge housing receptacle on the an-
tenna and push the housing into the recep-
tacle until it snaps into place. See Figure 4.
STEP 6. Attach the 75 ohm coaxial cable
to the “downlead” connection on the car-
tridge housing. If a VHF antenna is in-
stalled, connect the VHF downlead to the
unlabeled connector on the cartridge hous-
ing. Slide weather boot over connectors
and boot collar. See Figure 4.
STEP 7. To mount the antenna on the mast,
loosen the nuts on the mast clamp(s). Slide
antenna booms and braces and clamps
over the mast and tighten securely so they
are parallel. See Figure 5.
STEP 8. The 75 ohm coaxial cable down-
lead may be secured to the mast by taping
or the use of plastic wire ties.
HOW TO PROVIDE LIGHTNING
PROTECTION FOR TV
ANTENNA AND SET
STEP 1. Mount the grounding block as
close as possible to where 75 ohm coaxial
cable downlead enters the house. See Fig-
ure 6.
STEP 2. The ground wires for both the
mast and the downlead should be copper
or aluninum wire, number eight (8) or
larger. See Figure 6.
STEP 3. The downlead wire from the an-
tenna to the grounding block and the mast
ground wire should be secured to the
house, spaced from four (4) to six (6) feet
apart. See Figure 6.
NOTE: In the case of a “ground up” an-
tenna installation, it may not be necessary
to ground the mast if the mast extends four
or more feet into the earth. Consult a TV
serviceman for the proper depth in your
location.
STEP 1. Unfold the elements on the top
and bottom reflector booms. Swing the el-
ements out until they lock into position. See
Fig. 1.
STEP 2. Unfold the reflector booms mak-
ing sure they lock into place.
STEP 3. Remove the bolt and hex nut from
the boom brace. Attach the boom brace to
the top reflector boom (cartridge housing
should be on bottom of antenna) so mast
clamps are on the same side. Replace the
bolt and hex nut. Tighten securely. See Fig-
ure 2. (HD9095P has a top & bottom brace.)

STEP 4. Remove the bolt and hex nut hold-
ing the element on the tapered end of the
front boom. Slide the two sections together.
The elements should be on top (cartridge
housing on the bottom of the antenna).
Replace the element, bolt and hex nut and
tighten securely. See Figure 3.
