Antenna preparation

Unpack the AM antenna and snap it’s cylindrical end onto the base/mounting plate. Stretch out the twisted cord and Insert the small rectangular plug at the end into the socket located at (19) on the back of the radio. Note, this plug is keyed and only fits one way. Orient the AM antenna for best reception of your favorite AM station.

Unroll the FM wire antenna (20) and stretch it out. This antenna is permanently attached to the back of the radio. Position this antenna for best reception of your favorite FM station.

Select a location for your radio

Because the radio generates heat during operation it is necessary to provide open space around it for proper cooling. Failure to do so can significantly reduce the service life.

Do not place the radio near a heater or in direct sunlight. In addition, the radio should not be placed atop electronic devices that generate heat.

In most situations the best radio reception will be had when the KC-120ST and its antennas are near a window. This is particularly true for the “Atomic Clock” radio receiver.

For proper remote control operation there must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the radio face.

The KC-120ST includes an auxiliary input allowing sound from computers, TV sets, MP3 players, portable tape players, or other device with a headphone output to play through the KC-120ST. If this feature will be used, keep in mind the length of the interconnect cable needed when selecting the location.

Connecting power

Connect the supplied power adapter to the jack (22) on the back of the radio. Plug the adapter into an un-switched AC outlet. Turn on the radio and verify operation. Use only the supplied adapter. Damage resulting from the use of adapters supplying the wrong voltage or polarity is not covered by the warranty.
