Antenna Placement for Best Signal
Assembly Instructions
Antennas rely on line of sight, so to get the best performance place the antenna where it has a clear view. An obstruction like a building or hill immediately in front of the antenna reduces signal more than a building down the street. Try and avoid placing the antenna within 3 feet of any metal objects that could interfere with reception.
TV Transmitter
If you live in a valley or have obstructions, try and put the antenna up higher to compensate for signal loss.
Installing an antenna in the attic makes it
may require you to use a larger antenna
Being at an elevated position can be helpful for antenna reception.
Aiming your Antenna
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
This antenna picks up approximately 60° wide out of 360°. Aim the antenna to face the center of the group of stations you are trying to receive.
If you are having trouble getting a particularly weak channel, you can try pointing the antenna directly at the compass heading. This information is available from sites like www.antennaweb.org
Every year people are injured or killed from antennas or mast making contact with overheard power lines. Be sure to check mounting site to ensure there is no risk of antenna touching a power line.
Always be aware, and use caution when going up on a roof. Besides the risk of falling, the electrical shock that comes from contacting a power line with your antenna or mast is equal to being struck by a bolt of lightning

Mount antenna on top of mast and lightly tighten mast clamps.
On the back of the smaller section line up the two phasing lines and insert the smaller screws from the hardware bag so that the head of each screw faces the larger section of the antenna. Place two washers on each screw and install the nut to hold the washers in place DO NOT TIGHTEN. Connect matching transformer to the downlead connection. Slide spade lugs of matching transformer between the washers. Tighten hex nuts securely. With the screws in place, connect the coax downlead to the matching transformer on the antenna, but do not secure at this time. Then connect the coaxial cable to your TV.
