ming you are watching.

HELP

A typical ANT(enna)

A and PIPANT B connection

(using a common signal source

and an optional Signal Splitter):

If your Antenna or Cable TV

signal has a round cablecon-

nector(75 ohm) on the end,

then you're ready to connect it

to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.

If your antenna has flat twin-

lead wire (300 ohm),you first

need to attach the antenna wires

to the screws on a 300 to 75

ohm adapter before connecting

to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.

Connect your Antenna or

Cable TV signal to the single

75 ohm input plug on the two-

way Signal Splitter (optional).

Then connect two lengths of RF

Coaxial Cable to the two Output

plugs on the two-way Signal

Splitter (F-type connector on

both ends).
