CONNECTING ANTENNAS

Built-In Antenna

You can receive VHF and UHF broadcast signals by using the built-in
telescoping antenna.

  Extend the antenna to its full length for channels 2 through 6 (VHF-
  Low).

  Extend the antenna to a shorter length for channel 7 through 13 (VHF-
  High).

  For best UHF reception, extend the antenna to its full length for
  channels 14 through 69.

Outdoor Antenna

For improved reception, you can connect a standard outdoor VHF/UHF
antenna (not supplied) to the EXT ANT jack.

  If the outdoor antenna wire is 300-ohm double lead-in wire, connect
  the wire using the supplied external 300-ohm antenna adapter.

  If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV cable is 75-ohm coaxial cable,
  connect the cable to the TV/radio's EXT ANT jack using an F-to-1/8-inch
  mini plug adapter (such as Cat. No. 278-257, not supplied).

WARNING:

WHEN YOU INSTALL AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA, USE EXTREME CAUTION.  IF THE ANTENNA
STARTS TO FALL, LET IT GO!  IT COULD CONTACT OVERHEAD POWER LINES IF THE
ANTENNA TOUCHES THE POWER LINE, CONTACT WITH THE ANTENNA, MAST, CABLE OR
GUY WIRES CAN CAUSE ELECTROCUTION AND DEATH.  CALL THE POWER COMPANY TO
REMOVE THE ANTENNA.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF!

Notes:

  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of antennas and
  adapters to choose from.

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

  The TV is not "cable ready" - it can not receive cable channels 14 or
  higher.  But it can receive cable channels 2 through 13 and cable
  channel 1 (if available) which you can tune to on channel 14.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention
to article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point
of cable entry as practical.

PRIVATE LISTENING

For private listening, you can connect an optional earphone/headphones
with a 1/8-inch mini plug.  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide
selection of earphones and headphones to choose from.

Insert the earphone/headphones' plug into the TV/radio's EAR jack.  This
automatically disconnects  the TV/radio's internal speaker but the sound
is still in mono.

LISTENING SAFELY

Follow these guidelines to protect your hearing when you use an earphone
or headphones.

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

  Always start by setting the volume to the lowest level before you begin
  listening.  Put the earphone/headphones on, then gradually increase the
  volume as necessary.

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

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not wear an earphone/headphones while operating a motor vehicle.  Even
though some earphone/headphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard and are illegal in some areas.
