GETTING STARTED

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location for the TV where:

Air flows freely on all sides.

The power cord is not in the way of normal traffic.

Note: Do not plug in the power cord until you make all other connections.

CONNECTING

ANTENNAS

The supplied rod antenna provides ad- equate reception in most areas.

To connect the rod antenna, insert it into the hole on the top of the TV. At- tach the 300-ohm twin-lead connec- tors to the two screw terminals on the supplied adapter.

300 Ohm Flat Wire

300-to-75 Ohm Adapter

Then connect the adapter to the TV’s VHF/UHF (75Ω) terminal.

Connecting an Outdoor Antenna

For the best reception, we recommend you use an outdoor antenna.

Note: Before you connect the TV to an outdoor antenna, inspect the antenna and the antenna’s cable. Severely weathered antennas and antenna ca- bles can reduce the signal quality. Your local Radio Shack store sells re- placement antenna cable (300-ohm flat wire or 75-ohm coaxial cable) and a wide variety of outdoor antennas.

The antenna connection you use de- pends on the type of antenna and ca- ble you have.

Warning: When installing an outdoor antenna, read and follow all instruc- tions and cautions that accompany the antenna.

If you have a combination VHF/ UHF antenna and the antenna uses 75-ohm coaxial cable, con-

nect the cable directly to the TV’s

VHF/UHF (75Ω) terminal.
