Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
1 Using a screwdriver, loosen the
two screws on the adapter, wrap
the bare wires around the
screws, and then retighten them,
as shown.
2 Plug the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.
1 Strip and prepare the
75 ohm coaxial cable,
as shown.
2 Using your fingernails or a small screw-
driver, lever the adapter’s tabs outward
and remove the cover, as shown.
3 Move the small wire inside the adapter
from position A to position B, as shown.
4 Insert the central conductor ( 1 ), as
shown, and use a small pair of pliers to
clamp the shielding and outer insulation
sections of the cable (
2 ), as shown.
Make sure the shielding is not touching the central
conductor.
5 Refit the adapter’s cover, and then plug
the adapter into the 75
Ω
socket.
