Note

• The signal ground ( ) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety ground.

FM wire antenna

•Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω terminal.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
