the correct terminating plug will be required.

If a communal antenna system is used, you may require the correct connection cable and plugs between
the wall antenna socket and your television receiver.

Your local Television Service Dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct antenna system for
your particular area and accessories required.

Any matters about antenna installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and the
cost incurred, are the responsibility of the customer.
