Coaxial Cable Installation Precautions
• Do not bend coaxial cables into less than a three-inch radius. Tighter bends can cause shorts
and can change a cable’s impedance.
• Do not install a coaxial cable where it will have a pulling tension greater than 15 pounds
during installation. After installation, make sure there is no tension on the cable.
• Use only round-headed staples. Any clamps or securing devices used with coax should grip
the cable evenly about the circumference without crushing the cable. Flat staples can damage
the coaxial cable.
• Do not expose a coaxial cable to a temperature greater than 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep
the cable away from heating vents and water heaters.
To connect the ANT1500 to a converter box:
1. Make sure your converter box is turned off.
2. Connect the ANT1500’s built-in coaxial cable to
the antenna input on your converter box.
3. Connect the converter box to your TV using
either audio/video cables or a coaxial cable:
a. Audio/Video cable connection: Connect the
video (yellow) and stereo audio (red and white)
cables to the video and audio outputs on your
converter box. Connect the other ends to the
video and audio inputs on your TV. Make sure
you match the colors of the jacks on each—
yellow plug to yellow jack, red plug to red jack,
and white plug to white jack.
b. Coaxial cable connection: Connect a coaxial
cable to the antenna input on your converter box.
Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the
antenna input on your TV.
Notes:
See your converter box’s owner’s manual for more
detailed connection instructions.
