Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
For the best reception, we recommend you use an outdoor antenna.
Severely weathered antennas and antenna cables can reduce the signal quality. Check antenna and
antenna cables condition before making connections. Any service center can explain the various outdoor
antennas available to you.
