combiner bars. The transformer is in the center.

 4. Next, attach the cross braces to the rear of
the
reflector as shown using supplied bolts.

Helpful Tips:
• If your cable run is greater than 75’, A UHF pre-amplifier is may be required.
• UHF signals are line of sight. Get as much elevation on the antenna as practical.
• Attic Installations will cut 40% -50% of your signal strength.
• KEEP ANTENNA AWAY FROM POWER LINES
