Safety Information
Please observe the following safety precautions during installation and operation:
- Ensure the 12V DC power source is disconnected before installation to prevent electrical shock.
- Do not expose the device to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Use appropriate tools for installation.
- Verify all connections are secure to prevent signal loss or electrical issues.

Setup and Installation
The KING PB1000 is designed for flush wall mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare Mounting Location: Select a suitable location for the wall plate, typically near your television(s) and where existing wiring can be accessed. Ensure adequate space behind the wall for connections.
- Disconnect Power: Before making any electrical connections, ensure the 12V DC power supply to the installation area is completely disconnected to prevent electrical shock.
- Wire Connections:
- 12V DC Power: Connect the 12V DC positive (+) wire to the designated power input terminal on the back of the switch. Connect the negative (-) wire (ground) to the corresponding terminal.
- Antenna Input: Connect the coaxial cable from your amplified TV antenna to the "ANTENNA" input F-connector on the back of the switch.
- Cable TV Input: If utilizing, connect the coaxial cable from your cable TV source to the "CABLE" input F-connector on the back of the switch.
- TV Outputs: Connect coaxial cables from the two "TV OUTPUT" F-connectors (one visible on the front plate, others typically on the back) to the antenna/cable input ports on your televisions.
- Mount the Switch: Carefully position the switch into the wall opening. Secure it using appropriate mounting screws. Avoid overtightening.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the switch is mounted, restore the 12V DC power supply.
Important: Ensure all coaxial connections are finger-tight to prevent signal loss and ensure optimal performance.
Operating Instructions
The KING PB1000 features a simple push-button selector switch on the front plate to manage your signal source and antenna power.
- Powering the Antenna: Press the push-button switch on the front plate. When the indicator light (typically an LED) illuminates, the amplified antenna is receiving 12V DC power, and its signal is being routed to the TV outputs.
- Selecting Cable TV: Press the push-button switch again. When the indicator light is off, the antenna power is disengaged, and the cable TV signal (if connected) is routed to the TV outputs.
- Television Tuning: After selecting your desired source (Antenna or Cable), use your television's remote control to scan for channels or select the appropriate input.
Note: For optimal antenna performance, ensure the indicator light is on when using the amplified antenna.
Maintenance
The KING PB1000 requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the front plate with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Connections: Occasionally check all coaxial and power connections to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to signal degradation.
- Inspection: Inspect the device for any signs of physical damage. If damage is observed, discontinue use and consult a qualified technician.
