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 connect an optional outdoor VHF/UHF 
antenna to the ANT IN jack on the back of the TV/radio/cassette using 
these guidelines.

  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 (available at your local RadioShack store).

  If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV cable is 750-Ohm coaxial cable, 
  connect the cable to the TV/radio/cassette's ANT IN jack using an
  F-to-1/8 inch mini plug adapter (available at your local RadioShack 
  store).

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 practical.

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 (available at your local RadioShack store).

Connecting Earphones

For private listening, plug a pair of optional earphones with a 1/8-inch 
(3.5 mm) mini plug into the PHONES jack on the side of the TV/radio/ 
cassette.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.

  Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  After 
  you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

  Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume 
  listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. 

  Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over time, your ears adapt 
  to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort 
  might still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening 
at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
