Small tube of caulk 9. 4 #8 X 1” Pan Head Screws 10. 2 Medium size hollow wall anchor (Blue in color) Assembly and Installation: 1. Locate the best location for the antenna on the exterior of the home a. Use the mounting plate to mark the holes for drilling pilot holes b. Drill pilot holes approximately 1” deep with the 1/16” drill bit c. Using the 4 #8 Pan Head Screws, mount the wall bracket to the wall where the antenna will be in a vertical position d. Mount the Futura™ Outdoor Antenna to the wall bracket. (Be sure to insert the stem completely into the socket located on the bottom of the antenna) 2. Locate the desired entry for the cable. a.

Take the feed through bushing (AV23257) and place a small amount of caulk on the inside flange of the feed through bushing e. Press the feed through busing into the hole until it is flush with the wall 3. Measure the amount of coax cable needed for the installation and preparing the cable for installation. a. Start at the antenna and measure the exact route the cable will be ran to the hole drilled in the wall. Add about 3’ to 4’ extra to the measurement for slack in connecting the cable to the antenna and for stripping the cable and running it through the wall. b. Using the cable stripper (AV23318), strip the cable as instructed on the cable stripper packaging c. Attach the RG6 weather proof “F” connector to the cable (AV23260) d. Using the “F” Connector Crimp Tool (AV23258), crimp the “F” connector as instructed e. Attach the finished end to the antenna f.

Cut off excess cable; be sure to leave about 12” of cable to work with. i. Strip the end of the cable as you did on the other end and attach the RG6 “F” connector and crimp as done previously. j. Attach the finished end to the coax wall plate (AV23235 or 23239). Push the extra cable back into the wall k. Make sure the wall plate rest flush against the wall and mark the holes to be drilled for mounting the wall plate. (One hole at top and one hole at the bottom) l. Using the 3/16” drill bit drill the two holes marked for the coax wall plate. Stop drilling when the drill bit drills through the sheet rock (approx. .” deep) m. Insert the wall anchors and tap in until flush with the wall n. Position the coax wall plate until the holes line up the wall anchors and use the screws provided with the wall plate to fasten the wall plate to the wall. o.
