INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION

CHECK AREA AROUND AN TE NN A SITE FOR OVERHEAD WIRES. DO NOT ALLOW ANTENNA, MAST OR GUY WIRES TO CONTACT OVERHEAD WIRES. (SEE INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.)

Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers are injured or killed each year by electrocution. While anyone can see the obvious danger of falling, the most resourceful sometimes fails to recognize overhead wires as being potentially lethal. To touch any part of the antenna mast or guy wires to these overhead wires is the same as touching them with your bare hand. A very serious shock is almost sure to result when contacting an electrical wire, and in the case of primary wires on the top of poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt of lightning. Many power wires are within 20' to 25' of the ground and could easily be touched by an assembled antenna and mast.

WARNING!

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE POWER SUPPLY SECTION OF THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Please read and follow these suggestions, if applicable:

1. Try to have two people available for help, if needed.

2. Try to select antenna site well away from all overhead wires. Check distances.

3. If possible, do all assembly work on ground and then raise the antenna.

4. Don’t try to install antenna when it is windy.

5. If anything should come in contact with the overhead wires, call the power company. They will remove it safely.

6. Don’t try to guess which overhead wires carry high voltage. Check with power company.

7. Make the installation secure. Use plenty of guy wires and good hardware.

8. Make sure antenna mast and downlead cable are connected to suitable lightning arrestors. Use at least No. 8 ground wire between mast and ground.

9. Do not run downlead over power wires.

10. Get professional help when removing the old

antenna if there is any doubt of clearing over-

head wires.

DESCRIPTION

PARTS LIST

Winegard’s MetroStar® antenna with xed FM trap

(88 to 108 MHz) (MS-2000/2002/2006 only) provides excellent reception of VHF/UHF TV channels for home

use in most viewing locations. The MetroStar antenna’s compact modern styling is unobtrusive and blends well with the decor of homes and condominiums. The UV

protected housing is fabricated of impact resistant lled

copolymer, making the exterior virtually impervious to weathering and color change.

The unique omnidirectional characteristics of the MetroStar antenna provide excellent reception in areas where stations are in different directions without the

need for a complex rotor system. A built-in amplier,

(MS-2000/2002/2006 only), provides up to six times the

received signal on VHF and nine times the UHF signal,

insuring the best possible reception in color and black and white.

The MetroStar antenna is easily installed with simple hand tools on any antenna mast or optional light duty antenna mount.
