Step 9: Install the transformer
Find the downlead connection on the bottom of the front section of the
antenna, just beyond the refl ector booms.
Place two washers on each of the studs. Place a #10 nut on top of each stud,
but don’t tighten them yet.
Place the transformer ends between the two washers and tighten the nuts

NOTE: Point the small end of the
antenna towards the station(s).
Connect the coax downlead to your
TV.
Rotate the antenna until you receive
the best picture. You will probably
need a helper to view the TV set

Important: Point The Antenna Toward Your Local Broadcast
Towers
Visit www.antennaweb.org to see the locations of your local broadcast
towers. This information is crucial in pointing your antenna correctly.
Step 13: Secure mast clamps and downlead,
ground the antenna
Tighten the two mast clamps securely.

Secure the coaxial downlead to the mast (using cable ties or electrical tape) to
prevent it from whipping by the wind.
Ground the antenna and mast per the accompanying grounding instructions.
