Antennacraft HDX1000 - Manual (Page 2)

Notes:
► Do not bend coaxial cable into less than a 3-inch radius.
Tighter bends can cause shorts and change the cable’s
impedance.
► Do not install coaxial cable where it will have a pulling
tension greater than 50 pounds.
► Any clamps or securing devices should grip the cable
evenly without crushing it. For example, use only round-
headed staples.
► Do not expose coaxial cable to a temperature greater
than 176° F (80° C). Keep the cable away from heating
vents and water heaters. The cable jacket withstands
most outdoor environments. However, you must seal
connections and splices against water entry.
► Most TVs accept cable signals by default. To receive
stations on UHF channels 14-69, you must set your TV
to accept over-the-air signals. Refer to your television’s
owner’s manual for instructions.
Toward TV Stations
4. Attach the F-connector to the antenna. Attach the
mast clamps to the antenna’s mounting brackets with
the antenna screws and washers. Do not tighten the

5. Route 75-ohm coaxial cable through the mounting
mast, and the mounting brackets. Then, connect it to
the F-connector and seal the connection with sealant
tape or a weather boot.
6. Mount the antenna on the
mast. Face the front of the
antenna vertically with the
Antennacraft logo toward
the TV stations, and tighten
the four antenna screws.
