English term or phrase: If there is not provide the 75 ohm antenna socket on the wall of the living room
Context:

"If there is not provide the 75 ohm antenna socket on the wall of the living room. Please connect the 75 ohm antenna wire (included) put it into the 75 ohm antenna jack on the left side of the main unit."

What does the first phrase mean? Perhaps "If there is not such a socket"? Thanks.
