Cable Installation

Once the Outdoor Home Antenna is mounted according to the previous
instructions, you can continue with the cable portion of the installation:

1

Take the RG-6 cable that you purchased to connect to the antenna
and thread one end of the cable through the opening in the end of the
rubber boot. Then connect the cable to the antenna pod as shown in the
illustration following.

2

Slide the rubber boot over the cable connection to provide a weather-
proof seal and install the cable tie around the cable directly below the
rubber boot to prevent the rubber boot from slipping down. Trim off the
excess cable tie.
