Important Safeguards

CAUTION!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE ANT4100X OUTDOOR ANTENNA

These grounding instructions are very important. The information included

with your antenna system is to inform you that safety is an essential part

of installing and enjoying your new system.

1.Keep these instructions for future reference.

2.Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords.

3.Use safety precautions at all times when installing the antenna system.

Installing an Antenna system can be hazardous, especially if installed on

a rooftop or other similar structure. The Antenna system should never be

located near overhead power lines. When installing an Antenna system,

special care should be taken not to come in contact with any unknown

wiring or other potentially fatal power lines or circuits.

4.Grounding

Be sure the Antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built up static charges.

It is mandated by the Occupational Safety And Health Administration

(OSHA), via the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) that all coaxial

cables potentially exposed to lightning, to accidental contact with light-

ning-carrying conductors, or to power conductors operating at a potential

which exceed 300 volts, must have the outer conductive shield grounded

as close to the entrance point on a building as possible. This includes the

grounding of masts, metal structures and the antenna.

CAUTION: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, AVOID POWER LINES AND FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL WIRES CAN KILL.

Point of Entry

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 1987 provides

information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, con-

nection to the grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode. (See example below)

Example of Antenna grounding according to the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL

CODE instructions contained in ARTICLE 819.

1. Connect the right angle end of

the Short Coaxial Cable to the

connector on the bottom of the

Antenna.

2. Locate the Inline “F” Connector

Coupler. Connect the coupler to

one end of the Short Coaxial

Cable. Before proceeding with

connecting the long Coaxial

Cable, go to page 6 and

review mounting directions.

The installation will be easier if

the Antenna is mounted before

the long cable is connected.

5. Connect one end of the 6ft.

Coaxial Cable to the “OUT (to

TV)” connector on the back of

the Amplifier, and connect the

other end to the “Antenna”

connector on the back of your

TV or VCR.

6. The Amplifier should be

positioned in line-of-sight of the

Remote Control.

3. Connect to the other end of the

coupler one end of the 75ft.

Coaxial Cable

4. Connect the remaining end of

the 75 ft. Coaxial Cable to the

“IN” (Antenna) connector on

the back of the Amplifier.

Do not paint with metallic or leaded paints

The Antenna is designed to be mounted indoors or outdoors. For example, it

may be hidden in an attic, mounted on siding under eaves or installed on a

rooftop. The Antenna will perform better if located outdoors, as high as pos-

sible and away from power outlets and wires inside the wall. Do not place

the Antenna directly beneath the TV or other electronic equipment.

Position in attic, on rooftop or under eaves. Reception will be best when the

Antenna is mounted outdoors and as high as possible. Mount in a location

with as few obstructions between the Antenna and transmitting towers as

possible.

Once the final installation location is selected, mount the Antenna as follows:

1. Select site location and use supplied template (cardboard insert with four

holes) to provide mounting screw locations. Drill holes taking care to

avoid drilling into electrical wires or any other critical hidden item.

2. Using a high quality silicone

sealer, inject generous por-

tions into each

hole.

3. Slip Lag Screws through the

holes in corners of your

Antenna. Slide Stand-

offs onto Lag Screws. The Stand-off

will retain Lag Screws on Antenna for the remainder of installation

process.

4. Use the Inline “F” Connector Coupler to attach a length of RG59 or RG6

Coaxial Cable (not included) appropriate for your application.

5. Position Antenna over pre-drilled holes. Using a wrench or screwdriver,

secure Lag Screws being careful not to over-tighten. Stand-offs should be

tight between Antenna and mounting surface.

There should be no need to reposition the Antenna once installed.

Power

1. Connect the Power Adapter to the

Amplifier by inserting the plug into

the “DC Input” on the back of the unit.

2. Plug the Power Adapter into a 110/120

Volt, 60 Hz. Outlet.

3. Turn the Antenna ON by pressing the POWER button on the Amplifier

or by aiming the remote at the Amplifier and pressing the POWER

button. A red indicator light on the Amplifier will show power is ON.

Insert 2 “AAA” batteries in the Remote Control.

Turn on Amplifier using either the POWER button

on the Remote Control or the Amplifier.

Tune the antenna by using the arrow keys on the

Remote or Amplifier. Toggle up or down through the

tuning positions until you get the best picture for the channel you are

watching. A red indicator light will show which of the five tuning positions

is selected.

If you have an RCA Universal Remote Control, the Amplifier can be operat-

ed by using VCR code 020. If the remote has an AUX key, the code can be

programmed under that key by following the instructions that came with

the remote control. The following VCR keys can be used to operate the

antenna as shown in the following chart:
