CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
You can connect your antenna directly to your TV or ex-
isting direct-to-home satellite system.
Caution: Do not connect devices such as amplifiers,
splitters, combiners, or matching transformers between
the power injector and the antenna. Such connections
might cause a short in the amplifier’s power source. If this
happens, the antenna’s indicator will not light and the sig-
nals to your video equipment (multiple TVs or VCRs)
might be significantly degraded.
Note: If your existing antenna cable is 300-ohm cable,
you must replace it with 75-ohm coaxial cable. (300-ohm
cable requires a matching transformer that significantly
interferes with the antenna’s operation.)
Connecting the Antenna Directly to Your TV
1. Connect one end of a 75-ohm coaxial cable to the
antenna’s jack, then seal the connection with sealant
tape.
2. Connect the other end of the antenna’s coaxial cable
to
TO ANTENNA
on the power injector.
3. Connect the cable from
TO TV
on the power injector
to your TV’s antenna input jack.
If your TV has screw terminals for VHF/UHF connec-
tion
, connect a 75-to-300 ohm transformer (such as
Cat. No. 15-1140, not supplied) between the power
injector and the VHF/UHF terminals.
If your TV has a 75-ohm VHF connection and a 300-
ohm UHF connection
, connect a signal splitter (such
as Cat. No. 15-1231, not supplied) between the
power injector and the TV’s VHF/UHF connections.
4. Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
5. To amplify the antenna’s signal, set
OFF/ON
on the
power injector to
ON
.
The indicator on the antenna lights to show that:
• DC power is supplied to the antenna
• There are no shorts in the connection between the
power injector and the antenna
Connecting the Antenna to a Satellite Dish
Follow these steps to connect your antenna to your exist-
ing direct-to-home satellite dish so you can receive local
signals.
