CHOOSING A LOCATION

Chose a location for the TV where:

    Air flows freely on all sides of the TV.

    The power cord is not in the way of normal traffic.

NOTE:  Do not plug in the power cord until you make all connections.

CONNECTING ANTENNAS

The supplied rod antenna provides adequate reception in most areas.

To connect this antenna, insert the rod antenna into the hole on top of
the TV.  Attach the 300-ohm twin-lead connectors to the screw terminals on
the supplied adapter.

Then Connect the adapter to the TV's VHF/UHF 75Q terminal.

Connecting an Outdoor Antenna

For the best reception, we recommend that you use an outdoor antenna. 
Before you connect the TV to an outdoor antenna, inspect the antenna and
the antennas's cable.  Severely weathered antennas and antenna cables can
reduce the signal quality.  Your local Radio Shack store sells replacement
antenna cable (300-ohm flat wire or 75-ohm coaxial cable) and a wide
variety of outdoor antennas.

The antenna connection you use depends on the type(s) of antenna(s) and
cable you have.

WARNING:  When installing an outdoor antenna read and follow all
          instructions and cautions that accompany the antenna.

If you have a combination VHF/UHF antenna and the antenna uses 75-ohm
coaxial cable, connect the cable directly to the TV's VHF/UHF 75Q
terminal.

If you have a combination VHF/UHF antenna and the antenna uses 300 ohm
flat wire, connect the flat wire to the screw terminals on the supplied
300- to 75-ohm adapter.  Then connect the adapter to the TV's VHF/UHF 75Q
terminal.

If you have separate VHF and UHF antennas, use a VHF/UHF combiner (not
supplied) to combine the VHF and UHF antenna cables.  Then connect the
combiner's 75 ohm connector to the TV's VHF/UHF 75Q terminal.

CONNECTING CABLE TV

If you subscribe to a cable TV service, connect the cable company's 75-ohm
coaxial cable directly to the TV's VHF/UHF 75Q terminal.

If you use a cable box, connect the cable company's cable to the box's
input.  Then connect the box's output to the TV's VHF/UHF 75Q terminal.

Set the TV to the same channel as the box's output (Channel 3 or 4) and
use the box to select channels.

CONNECTING AN AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCE

You can use your TV to monitor an audio/video source (such as a VCR,
camcorder or laser disc player).  Connect the audio/video source's output
jacks to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the TV.

CONNECTING A MONAURAL EARPHONE

You can connect a monaural earphone with a 1/8-inch plug (such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 33-177) to the jack on the right side of the TV.  The sound
to the external speaker disconnects so that you can listen privately
without disturbing others.

NOTE:  If you connect a pair of stereo headphones to the TV, you hear
       sound from only one side of the headphones.

INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES

The remote control requires two AA batteries for operation.  For the
longest battery life, use alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-
552).  To ensure consistent operation, change the batteries about once a
year.

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it in the direction of
    the arrow.

2.  Install two AA batteries as indicated by the polarity markings (+ and
    -) inside the compartment.

CAUTION:  Batteries installed incorrectly might leak and damage the remote
          control.  Do not mix old batteries with new ones, and do not mix
          different types of batteries (for example, standard and
          alkaline).

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.
