Outdoor Scanner Antenna
(200-0044)                 Installation               Faxback Doc. # 60532

Before You Begin

Your antenna has elements which are resonant in the 30-54, 108-174,
450-470, 470-512 and 800-912 MHz bands.  They work together to give you 
frequency coverage from 30 to 1300 MHz.  Before you begin assembly, read 
this manual and the separate Consumer Product Safety Commission 
Information Sheet, and plan each step of the installation. Your antenna 
comes complete with 50 feet of RG-58 coaxial cable (fitted with an
F-connector on one end and a BNC connector on the other end).  To install 
your antenna, you need a small wrench with a 5/16 inch opening.

WARNING: When you install your antenna, use extreme caution.  If the 
         antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It could contact overhead
         power lines.  If the antenna touches the power line, contact with
         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.

Assembling the Antenna

We recommend you assemble the antenna on the ground, then mount it on the 
mast.  Follow these instructions to assemble your antenna.

1.  Use the supplied hardware to loosely attach the supplied mast clamp to
    the main boom.

 Note: If necessary, move the surrounding elements to permit access to
          the mast clamp holes.

2.  Press the supplied end plugs into the ends of the antenna boom.

3.  Hold the center and front main boom elements near the pivot points and
    unfold them until they snap into the locking plastic support
    insulators.  Position the legs on the smaller front elements outward,
    so they line up with the elements under them.  Pull the swivel bracket
    elements outward until they snap into the swivel brackets' tabs.
