going to mount the antenna.
• Set the base aside and drill a 0.1575” pilot hole at each marked
location. Remove any excess dust from the holes.
• Insert a concrete anchor into each hole so that it is flush with the
concrete surface. You can use a hammer to gently tap the anchors
into place if necessary.
• Place the antenna base back against the concrete surface and

The amplifier insert should always be

Water Damage Prevention:
At the point where your coaxial cable lead enters the house, you should
allow for some slack in the coaxial cable as a “drip loop.” This will prevent
moisture from running down the coaxial cable and entering the house.
Run the coaxial cable approximately six inches below the wall entry point
and then turn it upwards towards this spot. Any moisture that accumulates
on the coaxial cable will drip off in the bend instead of running into the
house. You should seal the point where the cable enters your home with
a rubber weather insulator or silicone caulking (not included). An “F”
connector wall plate can be used inside the home to cover the inside
portion of the hole. You can typically find an “F” connector wall plate at
any local electronics or hardware store.
