Using the Digital Yacht DTV100 antenna is a breeze. First, choose a suitable location on your boat to mount the antenna. You can use the provided adapters to attach it to a standard pole or a 1' threaded mount. Connect the 10m coax cable from the antenna to the below-deck amplifier. Then, connect your TV and FM radio to the appropriate outlets on the amplifier. Plug in the amplifier and power it with 12/24V.

When it comes to maintenance, the antenna has a waterproof and UV-resistant casing, so it can withstand harsh marine conditions.

If you notice any signs of damage, such as a crack in the casing or a loose cable, it's best to have it repaired or replaced. Also, if you're using the optional amplifier for multi-cabin installation, make sure to follow the same connection steps and check the gain adjustment to get the best signal quality.
