It's pictured, in the instructions, plugged into a power outlet adjacent to the TV not connected directly onto the aerial.

If the kit you have bought is identical to the one you linked above, then it does indeed have a powered mast head amplifier. That's it, mounted right next to the aerial. The box that you plug into the mains in your living room is the power supply for the whole rig. It sends power up the coax to power the masthead amp so that properly boosted signal comes out of all the outlets.
I've never installed one myself so I can't say exactly which wire goes where, but if you get it all plugged in the right way you should have nice, boosted signals on all your tellyboxes.
