The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION:
WARNING:
Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance with the FCC
Rules could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS
All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. CLEANING
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning the exterior cabinet only.
6. ATTACHMENTS
The manufacturer of this unit does not make any recommendations for attachments, as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use this unit near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool.
8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.
8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit and
to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat source. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase, or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCE
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fi t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fi t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If your unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, this plug will only fi t into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the groundingtype plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power
line surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in fi re or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

require extensive work by a qualifi ed technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specifi ed by the manufacturer or
those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fi re, electric shock or other hazards.

Before using the remote control, batteries must fi rst be installed.
HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
Use two “AAA” size batteries (not supplied). The batteries
may last approximately one year depending on how much
the remote control is used. For best performance, it is
recommended that batteries should be replaced on a yearly
basis, or when the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not
mix old and new batteries or different types.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using batteries
2. Install two “AAA” batteries (not supplied).
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
in this device:
• Use only the size and type of batteries specifi ed.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the
batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline
and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from
possible battery leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged;
•
they can overheat and rupture (follow battery manufacturer’s
directions).

Antenna connections
If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions below that correspond to your
antenna system. If you are using a cable TV service (CABLE), see page 9 for Cable TV connections.
Connect the UHF 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire to the
Combiner (not supplied). Connect the VHF 300

Cable TV connections
This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable
TV Converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device
which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler
box, connect the 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the RF IN
Jack on the back of the unit.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the
incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect
the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the RF IN Jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown
below. Set the unit to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the

If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require
the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and an A/B Switch box (available
from the Cable TV company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the
switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your unit. With the switch in the
