Introduction
Thank you for buying Summit. These instructions are designed to take you step by step through the
process of installing and using Summit. Carefully following these instructions will help ensure many
years of trouble free service from your Summit installation. If you are uneasy about climbing a roof
and running wires you should consult a qualified professional. TV antenna, satellite dish, ham radio,
home entertainment and alarm system installers are good choices. You should be able to locate some
of these professionals in your area by consulting the yellow pages. It is always best to show prospec-
tive installers these instructions and obtain quotations from a few different installers in your area.
