PREPARATION

CONNECTING ANTENNAS

Built-in Antenna

The built-in telescoping antenna usually provides good reception of FM, VHF, and UHF broadcast signals.

Extend the antenna vertically to its full length for channels 2 to 6 (VHF-LOW) and 14 to 69 (UHF).

Extend the antenna to a shorter length for the best reception of channels 7 to 13 (VHF-HIGH).

•If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV cable is 75-ohm coaxial cable, con- nect the cable to the TV/radio/cas- sette’s ANT IN jack using an F-to-1/8- inch miniplug adapter (such as Cat. No. 278-257, not supplied).

Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as prac- tical.

Outdoor Antenna

Notes:

For improved reception, you can con- nect an optional outdoor VHF/UHF an- tenna to the ANT IN jack on the back of the TV/radio/cassette using these guide- lines.

•If the outdoor antenna wire is 300- ohm double lead-in wire, connect the wire to the TV/radio/cassette’s ANT IN jack using a screw terminal to 1/8-inch plug adapter (such as Cat. No. 15-1148, not supplied).

•Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of antennas and adapters to choose from.

•For better TV signal reception in your vehicle, you can connect a mobile TV antenna (such as Cat. No. 15-1614, not included.)
