Adjustments
There are three areas of adjustments on the antenna,
antenna arm and mounting bracket. Please use these areas
to adjust the antenna so that it is level. You will have to
loosen the Phillips screws to rotate and adjust. Once the
adjustment has been made to the desired position,
tighten the Phillips screw. Be careful not to over tighten.
We recommend that you make the adjustments, if needed,
to each area in the order that is shown below.
At this point you are ready to attach the cable.
The connectors at each end of the cable are different.
find the connector that has the threads on the inside,
then screw this connector onto the bottom of the
antenna as shown below. Screw the connector on
by hand as far as it can go. It is not necessary
to use any special tools for this.
Once the cable is secured onto the antenna, slide the
attached rubber bottom onto the antenna as shown.
Uncoil the remaining cable. On one side of the mounting
bracket arm is a cable track with five cable clips.
For improved cable routing, snap the cable into the
cable clips as shown below.
