If you have two separate antennas for your TV(one VHF and one U HF), you must combine the two antenna signals before
connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor(available
at most electronics
shops).

1
Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the
ANT IN terminal on your cable box.
This terminal might be labeled 'ANT IN", "VHF IN" or
simply, "IN".
2
Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3
Connect an Antenna cable between an OUT terminal on
the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4
Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT OUT terminal
on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the RF(A/B)
switch.
5
Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on
the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6
Connect the last Antenna cable between the OUT terminal
on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT iN (AIR/CABLE)
terminal on the back of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the
"A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B'
position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B
switch to "B', you wilt need to tune your TV to the cable box's
output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)
