Antenna
■ The quality of sounds and pictures greatly depends on the radio
propagation conditions.
■ When you use your computer in areas where the radio waves are
weak, which results in poor radio receiving conditions, contact the
dealer you purchased it from, or use a commercially available
antenna booster. Please refer to the manual provided with the
booster for details.
Connecting the Cable
This section describes how to connect the antenna cable to your computer.
Connecting the antenna cable
1. Save data, shutdown Windows and turn off the power.
2. Connect the antenna cable to the TV antenna port of your computer.
Figure 4-9 Connecting the antenna cable
When lightning occurs, do not touch the antenna line. This may cause an
electric shock.
If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm and are
connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your
computer using AC power mode. The AC adaptor offers some protection
against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused by
lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your computer during a
thunderstorm.
