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 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 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.

18. SERVICING  
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other  
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.  
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE  
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualied service personnel under the following conditions:  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often  
require extensive work by a qualied 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 specied by the manufacturer or  
those that have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock or other hazards.  
21. SAFETY CHECK  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that  
the unit is in proper operating condition.  
22. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including  
ampliers) that produce heat.  
23. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for  
proper grounding and, in particular, species that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,  
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

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  
in this device:  
2. Install two “AAA” batteries (not supplied).  
• Use only the size and type of batteries specied.  
• 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.  
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.  
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged;  
they can overheat and rupture (follow battery manufacturer’s  
directions).

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  
Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH  
SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS  
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  
“A” position, tune your unit to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the  
Converter/Descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.  
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed  
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live.  
These transmissions do not allow time for editing.  
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with  
Closed Captions.  
• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear  
with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor  
antenna.
