Digital Television Facts
Your Winegard antenna is digital and HD ready. This means that the
antenna receives all available digital and HD local programming in your
area.*

FM ANTENNAS:
CX-0605 - 5’ RG6
CX-0612 - 12’ RG6

A commonly unknown but key feature with over-the-air (OTA) antennas
is they deliver the highest quality digital and HD signals to your televi-
sion – even better than satellite and cable! With the signal being received
directly from the broadcast tower and transmitted to your television, it is
uncompressed and in the purest form.
SPLITTERS:
SP-1002 2 WAY (5-1000MHz)
SP-2052 2 WAY (40-2050MHz)
SP-1004 4 WAY (5-1000MHz)
SP-2054 2 WAY (40-2050MHz)
As more and more local networks are broadcasting their programs in HD,
you can experience reception of your favorite shows in crisp, clear FREE
HD! You also have the ability to receive local and ethnic programming
that cable and satellite companies may not provide. It doesn’t get any
better than that!
*Antenna reception may vary based on transmitting antenna tower height, lobal pattern of
the transmitter, height of the receiving antenna, weather conditions and terrain on receiving
path including trees, buildings, hills, mountains, etc.

Example of Antenna Grounding as per
National Electrical Code
Using Preamplifiers and Distribution Amplifiers
Amplifiersdonotincreasetheantenna’ssignal. Amplifierscanovercome
any cable and splitter loss to improve signal strength at the tuner. They help
get the signal to the tuner in installations with multiple TVs or long cable
runs in weak signal areas. Long cable runs result in 50% loss of signal for
every 100 ft of RG6.
1. Mountthe75ohmgroundingblockordischargeunitascloseaspossible
to where the downlead enters the house.
2. The ground wires for both the mast and the downlead should be copper
or aluminum wire, number eight (8) or larger.
Avoid using preamps and amplifiers in urban areas, as the strong signal in
these areas may be overdriven by additional amplification.
3. The downlead wire from the antenna to the antenna grounding block or
discharge unit and the mast ground wire should be secured to the house
with stand-off insulators, spaced from four (4) to six (6) feet apart.
Cable Selection
RG6 is now the industry standard for coaxial cable. The greatest advantage
to using this cable over the traditional RG59 is a bit less cable loss. RG6
is rated at -6dB loss per 100’ run, while RG59 is rated at -8dB loss for the
same run. This could be a consideration if cable loss is a factor in your
installation.
NOTE: In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation, it may not be
necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends four or more feet into
the ground. Consult your local code or a licensed electrician for the proper
depth in your location.
Antennas are often returned that are in perfect working order. Be sure
to check all connectors for proper installation and fit, or for corrosion on
existing installations and perform a channel scan anytime you have a
reception problem.

Troubleshooting Ideas
• Rotate and Rescan. Many signal problems can be solved by re-aiming
your antenna.
• If the antenna is indoors, try a different location and rescan.
• Check coax for corrosion and shorts.
Ground
Clamp
• If you are having trouble receiving signal, try a direct connection from the
antenna to the tuner with a new coax cable.
• Run a new channel scan once each month to find new channels that
are added to your area or if you have moved the antenna.

Follow These Rules and Live
DANGER!
1. Perform as much antenna assembly on the ground as possible.
3. Do not use a metal ladder.
4. Remember, even the slightest touch of the antenna to a power
line can cause a fatal shock.
INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES
IS DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
5. Don’t try to install the antenna on a windy day.
6. Have a spotter when you are on the roof; they can see things you may
miss.
7. If you start to drop the antenna, let it go. You could lose your balance
and fall also.
8. If any part of the antenna comes into contact with a power line - CALL
YOUR POWER COMPANY! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IT
YOURSELF! They will remove it for you.
Location of your Antenna
Before attempting to install your antenna, decide on the best
location to install your antenna for both safety and performance.
To determine a safe distance from wires, power lines and trees:
1. Measure the length of your antenna and multiply by 2.
2. Add this measurement to the length of your tower/mast.
9. Mast, downlead and guy wires are conductors. Keep them away from
power lines also.
If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, STOP!
10. Make sure the antenna mast assembly and downlead are grounded
per National Electrical Code. See page 7.
Most antennas are supported by tripod masts or pipe masts attached to the
chimney, roof, or to the side of the house. Generally, the higher the antenna,
the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10
feet above the roof line, away from power lines and other obstructions.
For mast support, use only 1-1/4” OD pipe or larger antenna mast sections.
Lengths over 10 feet should be guyed at least every 10 foot section.
Before Installing Your Antenna
If you are not sure that you can install the antenna safely, DO NOT
TRY IT! Contact a professional installer.
If you cannot find a professional installer in your area, call Winegard
