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).
Outdoor Antenna
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).
• 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.
Notes:
• 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.)
