Remove the battery cover.
Insert two R03 (AAA) batteries matching the –/+ polarities of
the battery to the –/+ marks inside the battery compartment.
Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can best advise you
on which antenna to use in your area.
Before connecting the antenna cable, turn off all main power
switches.
