CONNECTING LEAD-IN CABLE TO THE ANTENNA

Follow these steps to connect the RG-58 coaxial lead-in cable to the 
antenna.

1.  Slide the supplied matching transformer's weatherboot over the end of
    the cable, then attach the supplied F-connector to the cable.

2.  Hold the sides of the mounting bracket's open end apart and press the
    bracket onto the boom until it snaps in place.  Slide the matching
    transformer into the bracket with its spade terminal ends pointing
    away from the mast clamp assembly.

3.  Thread the spade terminal ends through either slot of the antenna's
    strain-relief tab.  Use the supplied washers and wing nuts to secure
    the ends to the antenna's lead-in terminals.

4.  Attach the coaxial cable's F-connector to the transformer.

ATTACHING TO THE MAST

Slide the antenna's mast clamp assembly over the end of the mast.  Then
tighten the mast clamp assembly's lock nuts to hold the antenna in place.
Take care not to overtighten the nuts.

Notes:

Use plastic tape to secure the cable to the mast at about 3 foot intervals.

Use coaxial nail clips every few feet to secure the cable to walls.

Use a 75-ohm grounding block where the cable enters the house. 

Use a wall-through tube to neatly route the cable through walls.
