OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Your Radio Shack Amplified Omnidirectional

VHF/UHFTV Antenna provides excellent

reception of VHF/UHF TV channels in most

viewing locations. The UV-protected housing

is made of impact-resistant filled co-polymer,

making the exterior resistant to weathering

and color change. The antenna’s unique

omnidirectional characteristics provide

excellent reception in areas where

broadcasts are received from different

directions.

The built-in fixed FM trap helps prevent

strong FM stations from interfering with TV

Channels 2–13.

Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna

installers are injured or killed each year by

electric shock, because they fail to recognize

overhead wires as being potentially lethal.

Touching any part of the antenna mast or guy

wire to these overhead wires is the same as

touching the wires with your bare hand.

A very serious shock is almost sure to result

when contacting an electrical wire. In the

case of primary wires on the top of poles, the

shock is like being struck by a bolt of

lightning. Many power wires are within 20 to

25 feet of the ground and could easily be

touched by an assembled antenna and

mast.

Please read and follow these important

safety precautions:

• Be sure to select an antenna site well

away from all overhead wires.

• Do not try to guess which overhead

wires carry high voltage. Check with the

power company.

• If you notice anything making contact

with the overhead wires, call the power

company to have it removed safely.

• Do not run the downlead cable over

power wires.

• Get help from a qualified professional

when removing the old antenna if there

is any doubt of clearing overhead wires.

• Never install an antenna when it is

windy.

• Be sure to do all assembly work on the

ground, then raise the antenna.

• Make sure the antenna mast downlead

cable is connected to suitable lightning

arrestors.

• Use 8 (or larger) AWG ground wire

between the mast and ground.

• Make sure the installation is secure. Use

plenty of guy wires and new hardware.

This antenna system is designed to work

properly when the power injector is

connected to the antenna through a 75-ohm

coax cable.

The power injector’s indicator lights to show

that:

• DC power is supplied to the antenna

• there are no shorts in the connection

between the power injector and antenna

The coax cable between the power injector

and the antenna carries:

• DC power from the power injector to the

amplifier board in the antenna

Use extreme caution when installing an outdoor

antenna close to overhead wires. If the antenna

starts to fall, let it go! If any part of the antenna

makes contact with overhead power lines,

touching the antenna, mast, cable or guy wires

can cause electrocution and death. Call the

power company to remove the antenna. Do not

attempt to remove it yourself!
