Read this manual and the Consumer Product Safety Commis-
sion information. For your safety and convenience, plan each
step of the installation and purchase the necessary hardware in
advance. The hardware required and the order in which you
perform the steps depends on the mounting and connection
methods you choose.
4ASSEMBLING THE ANTENNA
For outdoor installation, we recommend you assemble the entire antenna
on the ground, then mount it on a mast. For attic installation, rst mea-
sure your attic to make sure the assembled antenna will t. The assembled
antenna might not t through your attic’s entrance, so you might need to
perform most of the assembly in the attic.
Look at the carton and label to see what model of antenna you have. The
steps below apply to all models or, where specied, apply only to models
ANT3036X and ANT3036W.
Step 14Splinting the Main Boom Sections Together
For models ANT3036X and ANT3036W, use the supplied hardware to
assemble the main boom sections. If necessary, lift one end of the main
boom so the crossover wires reach the threaded posts of the next section.
Note: There are no crossover wires over the back section.
Step 54Connecting Lead-in Cable To The Antenna
We recommend RG-6 cable, and, if you prepare your own cable, a quality
F-connector. Note: If you prepare your own cable, slide a matching trans-
former’s weatherboot onto the cable before you attach the F-connector.
1.
Thread the spade terminal ends of a matching transformer through ei-
ther slot on the antenna’s strain relief tab. Then use the supplied wash-
ers and large wing nuts to secure the transformer’s leads to the anten-
na’s threaded lead-in terminals marked CONNECT LEAD-IN HERE.
2. Screw the cable’s F-connector onto the matching transformer. If you
use a prebuilt cable without a weatherboot, cover the connection with
weatherproof tape. Otherwise, slip the weatherboot over the connection.
Step 64Unfolding The Antenna Elements
1. Hold each UHF wing boom and turn its elements until they snap
squarely into place (perpendicular to the wing booms).
2. Press the supplied small end plugs into the ends of the wing booms.
3. Fold out the wing booms and secure them into position using the two
supplied 1¼-inch screws and wing nuts.
4.
Hold the main boom’s elements near the pivot points and pull them
away from the boom until they snap into the locking support brackets.
Note: You may wait to unfold the elements until you get the antenna up on
the roof or in your attic. Caution: Do not pull the elements near their outer
ends or you could damage them.
Step 74Attaching The Antenna To The Mast
We recommend you get the help of another person before you put up the
mast or attach your antenna to it. How you set up your mast depends on
your specic installation. Refer to the Consumer Product Safety Commis-
sion information for recommended methods.
1. With the antenna’s support brackets on top of the boom, slide the an-
tenna’s mast clamp assembly (or assemblies for models ANT3036X
and ANT3036W) over the top of the mast. For models ANT3036X
and ANT3036W make sure the main boom is on top with the plastic
brackets on top, and the support boom is underneath.
2.
Tighten the mast clamp assembly’s lock nuts to hold the antenna in place.
Do not overtighten the lock nuts.
Caution: The crossover wires must not touch the antenna boom, the mast,
or each other. If necessary, carefully bend the crossover wires to provide at
least 1/2 inch of clearance.
3.
Set up the mast, then rotate it so the antenna’s shortest elements point
toward the stations you want to receive. Then secure the mast into posi-
tion.
Note: You can also put the antenna in an attic space. You can mount it from
a rafter or simply place the antenna on the attic oor. However, we recom-
mend that you use mounting hardware for the most secure installation.
Step 84Routing The Cable To Your TV/FM Receiver
4
Use plastic tape to secure the coaxial cable to the mast at 3-foot intervals.
4 Use coaxial nail clips every few feet to secure the cable between the
mast and where the cable enters the house.
4 Use a 75-ohm grounding block at the point where the coaxial cable
enters the house. Read the Consumer Product Safety Commission in-
formation for grounding instructions.
4 Use a drip-loop before the cable enters the house.
4 Use a wall-thru tube to neatly route the coaxial cable thru the walls.
4 Use only the length of coaxial cable that your installation needs. Do not
coil extra cable behind receiver. Instead, cut it to the correct length.

Step 24Mast Clamp Assembly
1. Use the supplied hardware to loosely attach the supplied mast clamp
assembly to the main antenna boom. For models ANT3036X and
ANT3036W, attach the support boom’s mast clamp assembly, facing it
the same direction as the main boom’s mast clamp assembly.
2. Press the supplied large end plugs into the ends of the main antenna
boom and the model ANT3036X and ANT3036W support boom.
Step 34Support Boom Assembly
1.
For models ANT3036X and ANT3036W, align the support boom’s straps
and mast clamp with the main boom’s support strap holes and mast clamp.
2. Attach the support straps to the main boom using the two supplied 1½-
inch screws and large wing nuts.
Step 44UHF Dipole and Isolation Network Assembly
1. For models ANT3036X and ANT3036W, pull the two halves of the
UHF dipole away from the main boom until they lock into the support
bracket.

minals (one for each half of the UHF bowtie on each side of the boom).
Note: Both bars of the isolation network should remain parallel to the
