Select a location to install the mounting bracket in the attic (i.e. (1) rafter, (2) rafter |
|
|
brace, or on the (3) attic decking). Note: for best reception, you will want to mount the |
|
|
antenna as high as possible. |
|
|
• Using a 1/8“ drill bit (3.5 mm), drill pilot holes where you want to install the |
|
|
mounting bracket. |
|
|
• Using the included M6X35mm screws, secure the mounting bracket to the surface. |

|
|
• Connect the coax cable (not included) that runs from your device (TV, VCR, Cable |
|

Box, etc.) to the antenna. |
|
|
|
|
|
• Scan for your local TV channels following the instructions found in your |
|
|
TV’s users manual |

|
experiment re-positioning the antenna and re-scanning for channels. |
