Connecting the FM antenna

The FM antenna comes attached. If the antenna is disconnected, follow these steps to connect it:

1.Push the Type F connector plug on the end of the antenna into the receptacle on the MicroSystem CD marked “FM antenna 75ȍ.”

2.Straighten out the antenna to its full length.

3.Orient the antenna wire for the best reception.

Optional: Connecting to a cable TV signal

You may be able to obtain better reception if your cable company offers an FM radio signal on your TV cable. The MicroSystem CD’s FM antenna connector will accept the cable FM feed from most cable TV systems that provide FM programming. To connect your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV providers, contact your cable TV company for assistance before making any connection.

Be sure that the installation includes a splitter that filters the signal to prevent any remission of the TV spectrum through the MicroSystem CD, so only the FM band, not the cable TV signal, is transmitted to the MicroSystem CD.

Notice for Cable TV System Installer

Please make note of Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides guidelines for proper grounding. In particular, this standard specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical. CAUTION: When making connections to the rear of the MicroSystem CD, it is possible to experience an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) event. If this happens, simply push the On/off button on the front and recheck the preset settings.
