To Lower the Antenna:

• Pull down on the directional wheel and align arrows together.
• Rotate the crank handle counterclockwise to lower the antenna fully
into the cradle. Make an outside visual inspection to ensure the
antenna is properly stowed.

Troubleshooting the Coax Wire:

Weak or no picture can indicate a possible shorted or open coax. The coax
cable is made of two conductors: A center conductor usually of copper and a
ground that is woven of braided aluminum. The "die-electric" insulating
material separates the two conductors. The ground and center conductors are to
remain electrically separate from one another. When installing a F-connector
onto a coax cable, use care so none of the woven ground strands makes contact
with the center conductor. A continuity tester is required to test a suspected fault
in a coax wire. Unscrew both ends of the suspected bad coax run, with the
continuity tester check between the center conductor and the outside threaded
ring. If continuity is present, the coax is shorted. To test for an open connection
of a particular coax run, use one test lead and touch the threaded end of the coax.
With the other test lead, touch the threaded ring at the opposite end. Continuity
should be present. Perform the same test procedure on the center conductor.
Proper electrical coax operation should indicate continuity from the center
conductor at one end to center conductor at other end. Continuity should be
present between each coax terminal end. There should be no continuity between
the terminal end and center conductor. Though damage does not usually occur
from a shorted or open coax cable, picture quality is compromised.

Television Set:

Ensure the television set will select channel 3. The TV menu may need
programmed. ie: Input Video Signal Type, Channel Programming or Signal
Output Levels.
NOTE: TV channels and the alternate input FRNT may need
to be programmed. To program press Menu on the TV remote.
Select 4 Channel from the main menu. Select 3 List and
Labels. Use cursor to select channel. FRNT is located below
channel 2.
The videocassette recorder is the same one found in most homes. The VHS
compatibility allows recording and playing back programs on standard VHS
tapes. The Audio/Video Input Jacks in the front allows for quick, easy
connections of additional video equipment.
