WHERE TO MOUNT YOUR ANTENNA

Your antenna can be mounted on either the chimney, the roof, or on an outside wall or in an attic. Choose the method
that best suits your particular location.

TRANSMISSION LINE

75 Ohm Coaxial Cable has a longer life-span than 300 ohm twinlead cable and is unaffected by contact with metal or
moisture.To install coaxial cable, begin by connecting the antenna end of the cable to an “antenna balun” (supplied with
antenna). Attach the input wires of the balun to the antenna terminals. Next, run the coaxial cable through a standout
mounted on the mast. This will prevent the weight of the line from pulling on the antenna connections. From this point,
the rest of the coax may be taped to the mast.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION

The mast and transmission line should be grounded for lightning protection. Run a #8 (or larger), aluminum or copper
wire from a bolt on the mast or its base, down to a 4’- 8’ ground rod driven at least four feet into the earth. Keep the line
at a respectable distance from your transmission wire to pre vent signal interf erence .A Coaxial Grounding Block (Channel
Master Model 3274) should be connected to the antenna transmission wire at the point where it enters the house.

AIMING Y OUR ANTENNA TO W ARD THE TRANSMITTING ST A TION

Once the antenna installation is completed, turn your TV set on and hav e an assistant observe the reception.On the roof,
loosen the U-bolt nuts and turn the antenna until you get the best reception. Once this is accomplished, tighten U-bolt
nuts securely.

NOTE: If broadcast stations are in different directions, you will need an antenna rotator.This will allow you to rotate the
antenna and pinpoint individual stations from inside your home.(For more information on rotators, see the complete line
of Channel Master Automatic and Programmable antenna rotators.)
