Instructions for NTE U-105 Antenna Rotator

Instructions for NTE U-105 Antenna Rotator thumbnail
A roof-mounted TV antenna can be adjusted remotely with a rotator.

Television antennas only work as well as they are positioned. A huge, expensive antenna isn't much use if it's pointed in the wrong direction, and getting up on your roof to move it by hand is time-consuming and dangerous. NTE manufactures the U-105 antenna rotator, which can rotate an antenna from a distance for optimal signal reception. Using the included hardware and basic tools, you can install an NTE U-105 on your existing television antenna.
