Note:
If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna.
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire going to an outside antenna), disconnect the supplied FM wire antenna.
How to strip the 75 Ω coaxial cable and connect it to the FM terminals
1.Strip back the outside covering of the 75 Ω coaxial cable to expose the braided metallic mesh about 13/16 inches (20 mm).
2.Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as shown in the illustration above.
3.Strip the insulation about 7/16 inches (10 mm) back from the central wire.
4.Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

Notes :
• Make sure the antenna |
conductors do not touch any |
other terminals, connecting |
cords and power cord. This |
could cause poor reception. |
• If reception is poor, connect an |
outdoor single |
wire to the AM EXT terminal. |
