WATER

TOWER

CONNECTING

THE

FM

ANTENNA

TRANSMITTER

Due

to

the

exceptionally

high

sen-

sitivity

of

your

system

the

48"

wire

supplied

is

sufficient

for

all

but

the

most

difficult

locations.

The

bal-

anced

antenna

input

is

designed

to

accept

a

300

1

-

2,

antenna,

indoor

or

outdoor

type.

When

using

the

antenna

supplied

connect

one

end

of

the

48"

wire

to

either

of

the

FM

antenna

terminals.

Horizontal

placement

of

the

antenna

will

yield

optimum

reception.

The

an-

tenna

may

be

tacked

to

the

back

of

the

molding

behind

the

equip-

ment

or

to

the

shelf

you

use.

As

FM

signals

are

in

the

same

broadcast

frequency

range

as

TV

signals,

they

are

affected

by

the

same

external

conditions.

Just

as

TV

reception

is

improved,

you

can

improve

your

FM

reception

with

an

external

antenna.

When

using

an

external

antenna

connect

both

leads

of

the

antenna

wire

to

the

two

FM

antenna

ter-

minal

posts

on

the

rear

of

your

Music

System.

If

installed

properly,

an

outside

antenna

will

reject

unwanted

sig-

nals,

local

noise,

multipath

inter-

ference,

and

will

provide

greater

signal

strength

than

any

elemen-

tary

type.

Increased

signal

strength

usually

results

in

the

reception

of

additional

stations

with

amazing

clarity.

A

GOOD

FM

ANTENNA

INSTALLATION

CALLS

FOR:

1.

The

proper

antenna

for

any

given

location.

The

further

you

are

located

from

the

FM

transmitter,

the

more

gain

the

antenna

must

offer.

2.

The

antenna

should

have

uniform

signal

level

across

the

entire

frequency

range

it

covers.

3.

Antenna

placement

is

extremely

important

for

maximum

signal

reception.

4.

The

installation

must

be

rigid

without

damage

to

the

roof,

chimney,

wall

or

other

property.

5.

Careful

routing

of

the

lead-in

line

to

avoid

pick

up

of

local

interference.

A

poorly

routed

lead-in

line

(which

touches

metal

portions

of

the

house,

etc.)

will

reduce

signal

strength

by

a

significant

margin.
