Step 1. Mount the lightning arrestor or
75 ohm coaxial grounding block as close
as possible to where the 75 ohm coaxial
cable downlead enters the house. See
Figure 6.
Step 2. The ground wires for both the
mast and the downlead should be copper
or aluminum wire, number eight (8) or
larger. See Figure 6.
Step 3. The downlead wire from the
antenna to the lightning arrestor and the

Equipment
mast ground wire should be secured to
the housewith stand-off insulators, spaced
four (4) to six (6) feet apart. See Figure 6.
NOTE: In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation, it may not be necessary
to ground the mast if the mast extends
four or more feet int the earth. Consult
a TV serviceman for the proper depth in
your location.

MODEL HD7695P
To prevent damage in shipping, some of the elements are folded to the
opposite side of the boom. For maximum performance, you must unfold the
elements correctly. Please follow these steps.
STEP 1. Remove the antenna from the carton. (For Model HD7696P, start with
the rear section of antenna (long elements). Lay the antenna on the ground with
the end with long elements pointing toward you. Starting with the element nearest
you, unfold the rst element CLOCKWISE about 80° and click to lock position. See
Figure 1 for the model you have.
STEP 2. Grasp both ends of the second element from the rear of the boom. Lift
the ends of the element just enough to slide over the other elements and boom
and ROTATE ABOUT 100° COUNTER CLOCKWISE to lock. See Figure 1.
STEP 3. Unfold the rest of the elements on this side of the antenna to the lock
position, being sure to alternate the elements.
STEP 4. Turn the antenna over and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3. Again lift and rotate
the elements that are folded to the opposite side of the boom (for shipping) just
enough to slide over the other elements and boom.

STEP 5. Unfold the elements of the
front section of the antenna. The
elements should be on the top side
of the front section of the antenna.
Remove the bolt, hex nut, and element from the tapered end of the
front boom and slide the tapered end
into the front of the rear boom. The
cartridge housing receptacle on the
rear section is attached to the bottom of the rear boom at the factory.
Replace bolt, hex nut, and element,
tighten securely. Figure 2.
STEP 6. Unfold the reector booms
slowly until they lock in place. Then
unfold the elements on the reector
booms. See Figure 3.
STEP 7. To attach the cartridge
housing to the antenna, align the
snaps on the cartridge housing with
the snap holes on the cartridge
housing receptacle on the antenna
and push the housing into the
receptacle until it snaps into place.
See Figure 4.
STEP 8. Attach the 75 ohm coaxial
downlead cable to the “downlead”
connection on the cartridge housing.
See Figure 4. Slide weather boot
over connectors and boot collar.
STEP 9. Loosen nuts on the mast
clamp, slide the antenna over the
end of the mast. Point the front of
the antenna (small end) towards
stations and tighten mast clamp
securely. See Figure 5.
STEP 10. The 75 ohm coaxial cable
downlead may be secured to the
mast by taping or by using plastic
wire ties.
