BATTERY INSTALLATION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
1. Open the battery compartment cover in the direction
of the arrow.
The precautions below should be followed when using
batteries in this device:
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna
Single 75 ohm Cable
This television has an extended
tuning range and can tune most
cable channels without using a
cable company supplied
converter box. Some cable
companies offer "premium pay
channels" in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these
signals for normal viewing
1.Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
2.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.
To avoid a potential short circuit, insert the “–” end first.
3.Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g.
Alkaline and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh
ones.

2. Install two “AAA” (penlight size) batteries, paying
attention to the polarity diagram in the battery
compartment.
300 ohm Twin-lead Wire
4.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.
Indoor Antenna
VHF Antenna
A single pole antenna is supplied with the unit (C-T1421 only),
insert the antenna holder into the mounting hole on the back of
the cabinet until it locks into place. Attach the antenna plug to
the antenna jack. Adjust the length and angle of the antenna
rod to receive the best possible picture.
Single 75 ohm Cable
5.Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be
recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow
battery manufacturer’s directions.)

Combiner to the Antenna Jack.
3. Replace the compartment cover.
NOTE:If your VHF antenna has a Twin-lead Wire, use the 300-
75 ohm Matching Transformer, then connect the Transformer to
the Combiner.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler
box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the
Antenna Jack on the back of the television.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm
Cable or 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF
antenna to the Antenna Jack. If your combination antenna has
a 300 ohm Twin-lead Wire, use the 300-75 ohm Matching
Transformer.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a
Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the
Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box
to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the
connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use
the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
EFFECTIVE DISTANCE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and
UHF 300 ohm Twin-leads)
Connect the UHF Twin-lead Wire to a Combiner (not supplied).
Connect the VHF Twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm Matching
Transformer. Attach the Transformer to the Combiner. Attach the
Combiner to the Antenna Jack.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a
two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler")
and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics
supply store. Follow the connections shown left. With the switch
in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled
channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune
your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is
changed. If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial
or a break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when
the signal is received again. If the channels are changed,
the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer
can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined
describe titles, words in foreign languages or words
requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear
enclosed by musical notes. For television programs
broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide
for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).
