WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,
DO NOT EXPOSE POWER SUPPLY SECTION OF THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
NOTE
If FM interference is a problem in your area, it is
recommended that you temporarily hook up the pre-
amplifier near the TV for ease of tuning the variable FM
trap.
NOTE
The further the preamplifier from the antenna(s), the
lower the input signal.
STEP 2: Slide weather boots over the antenna downlead(s) and
attach connectors. See Figure 2.
STEP 3: Attach the antenna downlead(s) to antenna(s) and other
end(s) to preamplifier, leaving a sufficient slack in the cable(s) to
form a drain loop. See Figure 3.
STEP 4: Slide the weather boots over the cable connector(s) and
boot collar(s) on the preamplifier and antenna(s).
STEP 5: The 75 ohm coaxial downlead may be secured to the
mast by taping or the use of stand-off insulators.
STEP 6. Attach “F” connector on downlead cable to power
injector jack marked “ANTENNA”. See figure 4.
STEP 7. Attach “F” connector on cable to analog TV/DTV
receivers to jack marked “TV”. See figure 4.
STEP 8. Connect one “F” connector on supplied black RG-6
cable to jack marked “PWR IN”. Connect the other “F”
connector on supplied RG-6 cable to jack on supplied AC
wall transformer. See Figure 4.
STEP 9. Mount power injector to wall using supplied screws.
