WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THIS ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS
DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.
STEP 5.
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 6.
Attach the 75 ohm coaxial cable to
the “downlead” connection on the cartridge
housing. Slide weather boot over connectors
and boot collar. See Figure 4.
STEP 7.
To mount the antenna on the mast,
loosen the nuts on the mast clamp(s). Slide
antenna booms and braces and clamps over
the mast and tighten securely so they are
parallel. See Figure 5.
STEP 8.
The 75 ohm coaxial cable downlead
may be secured to the mast by taping or the
use of plastic wire ties.
STEP 1.
Unfold the elements on the top and
bottom reflector booms. Swing the elements
out until they lock into position. See Fig. 1.
STEP 2.
Unfold the reflector booms making
sure they lock into place.
STEP 3.
Remove the bolt and hex nut from
the boom brace. Attach the boom brace to
the top reflector boom (cartridge housing
should be on bottom of antenna) so mast
clamps are on the same side. Replace the
bolt and hex nut. Tighten securely. See Fig-
ure 2. (HD9095P has a top & bottom brace.)

STEP 4.
Remove the bolt and hex nut hold-
ing the element on the tapered end of the
front boom. Slide the two sections together.
The elements should be on top (cartridge
housing on the bottom of the antenna).
Replace the element, bolt and hex nut and
tighten securely. See Figure 3.

Step 1.
Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm
grounding block as close as possible to where
the 75 ohm coaxial cable downlead enters the
house. See Fig. 6.
Step 2.
The ground wires for both the mast
and the downlead should be copper or alu-
minum wire, number eight (8) or larger. See
Figure 6.
Step 3.
The downlead wire from the an-
tenna to the grounding block and the mast
ground wire should be secured to the house
with stand-off insulators, spaced from 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
into the earth. Consult a TV serviceman for
the proper depth in your location.
