Important Safety Instructions For Antenna  
Before using the AC adapter or antenna, read all instructions and  
cautionary markings on the AC adapter and antenna.  
Do not expose the AC adapter and antenna to moisture of any kind.  
Use of any AC adapter not included with the antenna or recommended or  
sold by the antenna manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock,  
or injury and will void your warranty.  
To reduce risk of damage to the AC adapter, do not pull on the cord to dis-  
connect from the wall outlet. Instead, disconnect the unit from the outlet by  
pulling on the plug rather than the cord.  
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over,  
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.  
Do not operate AC adapter or antenna with a damaged cord or plug.  
Replace it immediately.  
Do not operate the AC adapter or antenna if it has received a sharp blow,  
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.  
Do not disassemble the AC adapter or antenna. Incorrect reassembly may  
result in a risk of electric shock. Disassembly of product by unauthorized  
personnel will result in voiding your product warranty.  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug AC adapter from outlet before  
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.  
Do not install the antenna near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts,  
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibra-  
tion, or shock.  
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean antennas surfaces.  
Be sure to save instructions for future reference.

Your cable, satellite, or Digital Satellite System can be directly connected

programming.

ANT200, connect the “OUT TO TV” cable from the system to the  
connector marked CABLE” on the antenna. (see diagram)

cable, satellite, or Digital Satellite System will pass through the  
antenna to your TV or VCR without interference. (see diagram)
