Antenna grounding
If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, make sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built up of static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge-unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See DIAGRAM TO LEFT.
Important Safety Notes
If you do not feel comfortable or competent to install this antenna we
recommend that you seek the assistance of a qualified professional
antenna installer.
Read the instructions for this device thoroughly before
attempting installation.
IMPORTANT
READ
BEFORE
INSTALLATION
The installation or dismantling of any antenna near power lines is
dangerous. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured while
attempting to install or service antennas. For your safety and proper
antenna installation, read and follow all safety precautions.
Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a building
should not cross over open conductors of electric light or power
circuits. They should be kept away from all circuits to avoid the
possibility of accidental contact.
Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna discharge units (or
Lightning Arrestors) should be located outside the building between
the point of entrance or the lead-in and the TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of conductors to the building.
Choose an installation site for safety as well as performance.
All electric power lines, cable lines and telephone lines look alike.To
be safe, assume ANY overhead line can kill you.
Do not place an antenna where it could potentially fall on to
, or blow
into a power line. If in doubt call your electric provider. Let them
w your site.

Safety Instructions
Outdoor antennas should be grounded with an approved lighting arresting device. Local codes may apply. Use 8 AWG or larger ground wire.
Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to your installation depending on your proximity to an airport, or local ordinances.
Take the time to plan your installation procedure. Do all assembly
work on the antenna on the ground. Raise the completed antenna
after assembly.
Do NOT work on a wet,snowy or windy day or if a thunderstorm is
approaching. Do NOT use a metal ladder.
If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get away from it and let it fall.
Remember that the antenna mast and cable are all excellent conductors of electrical current.
Do NOT install the antenna by yourself. Be sure that there are two
other people available for help.
If any part of the antenna should come in contact with a power line.
DON'T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF. Call your
local po
Should an electrical accident occur ...DON'T TOUCH THE PERSON
IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE, or you too can become
electrocuted. Instead, use a DRY board, stick, or rope to push or pull
the victim away from the power lines and antenna. Once clear, check
the victim. If he has stopped breathing, immediately administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and stay with him. Have someone
else call for medical help.
Install wire antennas high enough that they will not be "walked into"
by people.
Do not install antenna wire(s) over or under utility lines.

Important installation information
The SDV2950 uses a power injector that sends a low power DC voltage to the antenna to drive the signal amplifier built into the antenna
though the RG-6 or RG-59 signal cable.
It is essential for proper operation of this antenna system that the
power injector be connected between the antenna and any devices
such as splitters, ad
networks, etc. SEE DIAGRAM TO LEFT.

Determining signal strength
Before Installation determine the best location for optimum
reception. It is important for the antenna to have an unobstructed
path to the transmitter. To determine the transmitter(s) location
you can consult the website http://www.antennaweb.org. For best
results the antenna should be facing to the transmitter locations as
shown at left.

Safety Note - The power injector and power supply is for
indoor use only!
Alternate connections
1. If your TV has separate inputs for UHF and VHF you will
need to purchase a signal splitter that will separate the two
different signals.
2. If your TV has only two screw type antenna inputs you will need
to purchase a 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm transformer.
A note about coaxial cable – Your SDV2950 includes a 20 foot roll of
RG-59 coaxial cable. If you should find that this is not adequate for
your needs we recommend f
do not extend this cable.A better choice is to replace the cable with
either RG-6 or RG-6 Quad Shield cable. Both of these cables are
designed for minimal signal loss over longer cable runs. This will
