●If you have any question about the DTV’s Antenna, visit www.antennaweb.org for further information.

●Depending on your Antenna system, you may need different types of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters) for HDTV Signal. The minimum RF bandpass on these Devices is 2,000MHz or 2GHz.

●For your safety and to avoid damage to this Unit, please unplug the RF Coaxial Cable from the Antenna Input jack before moving the Unit.

●If you did use an Antenna to receive Analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic Antennas will be more effective than a Set-top Box or inside Antenna.

●To Turn On your reception source easily between Antenna and Cable, Install an Antenna selector.

●If you are not receiving a Signal from your Cable service, contact the Cable provider.
