In the case of weak waves, t he channel indicator panel will possibly not stop, or stop
where there is no picture or sound. Pull out the telescope antenna to its full length, a nd operate the channel button while changing the direction. If signal still can not be received, consider if it is due to poor waves or try to change the location for reception.

CAUTION
In winter and other dry seasons, touching of the antenna or terminals would lead to discharging due to static electricity on the fingertip, thus causing wrong operation. In such cases, Power off and on the unit.
About the small fluorescence tube When used at a lo w temperatures, there might be faint or reddish strips, which are not
failures. Normal operation can be resumed after temperature rise.
Low batteries would make it difficult to start the signal and cause faint pictures, which are
not failures and can be solved through battery replacement.

CAUTION Before using it in a bathroom, make sure to close the battery box cover and jack cover.
Failures or electric shocks would be caused when the batter y box cover and the jack cove are left open.
When an external antenna is used
When the picture is not clear even with a pulled out antenna in a poor reception envir onment or in a building, use a separately purchased antenna adjuster connected with the external antenna to obtain a stable picture.
Connect the antenna adjuster to the external antenna cable. Open the jack cover.
CAUTION
It is not waterproof when the jack cover is left open. Use drop-proof antenna cable of the terminal t ype (separately purchased), when it is used in a bathroom or at locations where water is used.
