An antenna switch box is provided as a convenience to allow
you to select, by the flick of a switch, either the TELSTAR
games or regular TV viewing. Once installed it need not be
removed. Connect the box as follows:

your TV set. Connect the flat twin-lead from the switch
box to the back of the TV set terminals marked “VHF”.
B. Connect the flat twin-lead (300 OHM) TV antenna leads
which you have just disconnected (from the outdoor
antenna, cable TV, or rabbit ears) to the switch box
marked ‘‘Antenna’’.
NOTE: If you have cable TV; a “75 OHM to 300 OHM
Balun” matching transformer may be required
(it’s readily available from any television service
department) to permit proper connection to the
switch box. Connect this balun to the switch box.
Plug cable from TELSTAR unit into switch box.
С. Move the select switch to “Game”. (Remember that
after playing with your Telstar games, move the switch
back to “ТУ” for regular TV viewing.)
