Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will generally mean that an outdoor aerial
must be used. The exact type and position of the aerial will depend upon your particular area.

When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
In thunder and lighting weather, please disconnect the outdoor antenna to avoid thunder/lighting
strike.
