Winegard Rayzar Air Replacement Antenna Head
Make sure the weather boot is in place over the boot
collar of the mounting bracket.
Re-connect the coax cable to the antenna head; hand-
tighten, and tighten a quarter turn more with a wrench.
Installing a Connector on Coax Cable
TIP
: if installing the connector in hot weather, increase
dimensions by ¼”.
Strip the outer cover back ½” from the end of the
cable.
Fray braid back as far as the outer cover will allow.
Trim braid close to the outer cover, and remove ¼” of
inner insulation, being careful not to nick the center
conductor. Make sure no foil or braid can touch the
center conductor.
Slide the connector tip between the braid and inner
insulation (braid and foil, on foil shield cable). Push the
connector onto the cable as far as it will go. Attach the
cable with a proper crimping or compression tool. Do
not crush cable out-of-round.
Once the connector has been installed, connect the
coax cable to the F-jack on the antenna head.
Operation
WARNING: Check parking location for obstructions
before raising the antenna.
Turn the crank handle clockwise in the “UP” direction
until some resistance is noted.
Ensure the antenna power supply is in the “ON”
position and the green indicator light is illuminated.
While the antenna is in the initial raised/deployed
position, follow the instructions from the TV
manufacturer to perform a channel scan on the TV.
Make certain to scan in AIR or ANTENNA mode.
If few or no channels are found, pull down on the
directional handle to disengage from the ceiling
plate, and rotate the directional handle 90 degrees
clockwise. Perform a second channel scan according
to instructions in step 3.
TIP:

tune specific channels in your area by inputting the zip
