Follow these steps to connect the antenna to the
TV-Hub.

a.

Fill half of the inner body of the RG-11 RF1

cable connector, that you will be connecting

to the TV-Hub, with the supplied silicone
grease.

b.

Connect the RG-11 RF1 cable from the

antenna to the “Antenna” jack

on the TV-Hub

(see Figure 25).

c.

Hand-tighten the RF cable until it is all the

way into the “Antenna” jack. Then tighten it

with a 7/16" torque wrench set to 15 in-lbs, or

a 7/16" wrench 1/8 turn.

d.

Wipe off any excess grease from the outside

of the connector.

Do not connect anything other than the
antenna’s RF1 cable to the “Antenna” jack.
The TV-Hub supplies voltage that will
damage other devices, such as multiswitches,
receivers, DVRs, etc.
