To hook-up your cable, satellite, or DBS Satellite System to the antenna, connect the "OUT TO TV" cable from the antenna to the TV or VCR connector marked "IN FROM CABLE". 4. When the switch is in the AMP position, you will receive local programming from amplified off-air signals via the antenna. 5. When the switch is in the BY PASS OFF-AIR SIGNAL position, the off-air signal will travel to the TV without amplification. Use this position when the antenna is used near transmitters and amplification is not necessary. A B C D A Power Insert B 3 Position switch C Cable connector D Integrated Coaxial Cable 5
