Connecting an antenna, cable TV, or satellite TV box

Important: The antenna connector should only be finger-tightened. Do not tighten this connector with any tool, or you may damage your TV.

To connect an antenna, cable TV, or satellite TV box:

1Turn off the TV before connecting the antenna.

2Connect one end of a coaxial cable (not included) to the RF OUT jack on the antenna or on the cable or satellite TV box. If you are using an antenna with twin-lead cable, you may need a 300-75 ohm adapter (not provided) to connect it to the back of your TV. Likewise, if you are using several antennas, you may need a combiner (not provided).
