Unfold the elements of the
front section of the antenna. The
elements should be on the top side
of the front section of the antenna.
Remove the bolt, hex nut, and ele-
ment from the tapered end of the
front boom and slide the tapered end
into the front of the rear boom. The
cartridge housing receptacle on rear
section of the antenna is attached to
the bottom of the rear boom at the
factory. Replace bolt, hex nut, and

To attach the cartridge hous-
ing 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 7.
STEP 9.
Attach the 75 ohm coaxial
downlead cable to the “downlead”
connection on the cartridge housing.
See Figure 7. Slide weather boot
over connectors and boot collar.
STEP 10.
Loosen nuts on the mast
clamp, slide the antenna over the end
of the mast. Point the front of
the antenna (small end) towards sta-

Unfold UHF directors. See
Figure 5.
STEP 7.
Unfold the reflector booms
slowly until they lock in place. Then
unfold the elements on the reflector
booms. See Figure 6.
NOTE:
To prevent damage in shipping, the second set of elements from the rear of the
boom are folded to the opposite side.
STEP 1.
Remove the rear section of antenna from carton (long elements). Lay
it on the ground with the end with the plug pointing toward you. Starting with the
element nearest you, unfold the first element CLOCKWISE about 80° and click to
lock position. See Figure 1.
STEP 2.
Grasp both ends of the second element from the rear of the boom. Lift
the ends of the element just enough to slide over the other elements and ROTATE
ABOUT 100° COUNTER CLOCKWISE to lock position. See Figure 1.
STEP 3.
Unfold the rest of the elements on this side of the antenna to the lock
position, being sure to alternate the elements. See Figure 2.
STEP 4.
Turn the antenna over and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3. Again lift and rotate
the second element just enough to slide over the other elements. See Figure 3.
