ST2-XM SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

AM Antenna

Connect the included loop antenna for AM recep- tion to the back panel, attaching the GND (ground) and AM ends to the appropriate connec- tions for Tuner 2.

It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per- formance for AM reception. Use a 75-ohm to 300-ohm balun at the AM connection on the tuner, and attach the 75-ohm coax cable to the balun.

FM Antenna

Attach the included FM antenna to the Tuner 2 FM COAX connection on the back panel by push- ing the F-type quick-connect termination of the antenna onto the FM connection.

It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per- formance for FM reception. Attach the desired length of 75-ohm coax cable directly to the FM connection on the tuner.

Grounding an Outdoor Antenna

If the tuner is used with an outdoor antenna, the antenna must be grounded against static charges and voltage surges. Consult the instructions that came with the antenna or contact the antenna manu- facturer for proper installation instructions. The diagram gives a general depiction of how an outdoor antenna should be grounded. For complete guidelines on antenna grounding procedures, please con- sult the National Electrical Code, Section 810, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984.
