Connecting an FM outdoor antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved with the included FM antenna, use an FM outdoor antenna. Connect an F-shaped connector to the coaxial cable and connect the antenna to the FM COAX (75 Ω /ohms) terminal.

Selecting a place for the FM outdoor antenna

•Set the antenna so that it is pointing towards the broadcast station’s transmitting antenna. Behind buildings or mountains, set the antenna in the position at which reception is best, and also try changing the direction of the antenna.

•Do not install the antenna under power lines.

Doing so is extremely dangerous, as the power line could touch the antenna.

•Install the antenna away from roads or train tracks to avoid noise from cars or trains.

•Do not install the antenna too high, as it may be hit by lightning.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Installing the AM loop antenna

Tune in an AM station and set the antenna in a position as far from the system as possible in which distortion and noise is minimum. In some cases it is best to invert the polarities.

AM broadcasts cannot be received well if the loop antenna is not connected or if it is set close to metal objects.

* Place the antenna 10 cm away from the set.

Installing an AM outdoor antenna

Connect the signal wire from the AM outdoor antenna to the antenna terminal. Be sure to ground the antenna and connect the ground wire to the GND terminal. Also be sure to connect the included AM loop antenna.
