Note: Connect all wires and coax before plugging in the
receiver, so that the system can detect the antenna’s
position and rotate it accurately.
The coaxial cable provides feedback from your antenna.
If it has not been connected, your receiver may be per-
manently damaged!
1. Attach the coaxial cable’s downlead connector to the “ANT”
threaded coaxial terminal on the RF receiver unit, centering
the inner conductor in the hole before tightening the nut.
2. Connect the wires as follows, and tighten the connections.
• Yellow or Red wire to Terminal 1
• Black wire to Terminal 2
• White or Blue wire to Terminal 3
3. Connect the receiver’s coaxial cable’s output to your TV’s
coaxial cable input.
Your remote control is powered
with a button-cell battery (in
-
cluded). To install the battery:
1. Press and push open the
battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the CR2032 bat
-
tery (included) with positive
polarity (+) facing up, into
thecompartment and then
replace the cover.
Notes:
Keep the button-cell battery away from small children.
If swallowed promply see a doctor.
Do not open the battery or dispose of it in a fire, do not
recharge, do nor insert it upside down. It may explode or
leak, causing injury.
Use only fresh batteries of the same size and kind that are
included with the antenna.
If you do not plan to use your remote control for a week or
more, remove the battery. It can leak chemicals that can
cause damage to the electronic parts.

Adjusting Your Antenna
A double-arrowhead is molded into the outer rim of the
antenna’s housing to indicate the antenna’s rotation. When
mounting the antenna in a residential or fixed location, fac
-
ing the double arrowhead toward the most often used TV
station will reduce the amount of rotation needed for best
reception.
For non-fixed locations, such as RVs or boats, the antenna
may be installed with the double arrowheads facing in any
direction. Optimum TV reception may be obtained from any
location by orienting the antenna with its built-in rotator.
Boat or RV
—
It is recommended that several locations be
tried to find the one that provides optimum performance before
you permanently install the antenna.
Mount the antenna as high as practical and as far away from
metal objects as possible. If the interior areas of the vehicle
or boat are substantially enclosed or surrounded by metal
surfaces, an exterior mounting location must be selected.
For RVs with metal roofs, the antenna should be mounted at
least six inches above the roof surface. For boats, best recep
-
tion will be obtained if the antenna is mounted above the boat’s
highest deck or cabin structure. RV/boat mount kits are available
to do these installations.
Note: Mount the antenna before you make any receiver
connections and plug it into its power source.
Indoors
—
You can install the antenna
on a vertical mast in
the
attic, closet or other out-of-the-way location, or suspended
from an attic support with a wall-mount bracket. You can also
insert the three antenna legs into the matching holes on the
underside of the antenna so that they angle outward to form
a tripod support. Then place the antenna on a shelf in a closet
where it cannot fall or become damaged.
Outdoors
—
Install the antenna outdoors away from trees or
obstructions. (Higher frequencies are affected by obstructions.)
Mount the antenna on a mast and secure it by tightening the
hex nuts evenly onto the U-bolt. You can also use our off-set
J-Mount model UAM9000 (optional). Use a wall-thru tube to
neatly route the cable thru walls.
Make sure the installation of the antenna conforms to local
electrical and building codes, zoning requirements and other
