Insert the coax and matching transformer into the installation place. Then, slide 
one of the forks of the matching transformer between the two forward elements 
on the threaded post. Repeat this process for the other post. See Figure 6.
Tighten the nuts, making sure the matching transformer is still connected.
Check that you are within a 30 mile range of the stations that you want to 
receive.
 The antenna has an approximate range of 30 miles when installed outside. 
For a listing of likely channels available in your area, go online to www.tvfool.com 
or antennaweb.org.
 On each of these sites, you can enter your address and get a 
listing of likely channels available in your area along with the compass heading for 
each station’s tower. For most locations, stations will only come from one or two 
directions. If the compass headings are similar (<30° apart), the FREEVISION can be 
aimed between the two areas and receive signals from each location.
With the logo facing up, thread the coax cable through the bottom of the 
FreeVision antenna. Connect the coax cable to the matching transformer. See 
Figure 5. (For an installation that does not require full 50’ coax cable, coil the 
excess cable up and store it behind the television.)
Remove and dispose of the rubber boot on the matching transformer as shown in 
Figure 4.

Lift the forward elements until the holes in the elements line up (Figure 2). 
With the holes lined up, install the UHF element by inserting the threaded posts 
into the holes in the forward elements. The threaded posts should extend down 
towards the body of the FREEVISION antenna as in Figure 3.
Thread the supplied 10-32 hex flange nuts on the back of the threaded posts. DO 
NOT tighten at this time.
