TOWER TOWER TOWER Making Connections With Your New AM/FM Tower Radio tuners and receivers can have different connections for your new Tower antenna. Please find the connection that best matches your tuner or receiver and follow the listed instructions. FM Connections: 75 Ohm Coaxial: Your TERK antenna has a Slip-On Coaxial connector on the FM lead. Simply slide the connector onto the coaxial terminal. See Fig. 1. 75 Ohm Push-Button Connection: If your Radio tuner or receiver has Push-Button terminals for FM you will need to use the supplied RED 75 Ohm matching transformer. First slide the RED 75 Ohm matching transformer into the connector on the FM lead of the antenna. Next slide the Red wire into the terminal marked "FM 75 Ohm". Lastly connect the BLACK wire into the terminal marked "FM Ground" or "GND". See Fig. 2. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 ANTENNA GND AM Fig. 3 AM Connections: AM Push-Button Connection: Your TERK antenna uses a Twin Lead Bare Wire for AM connections. If your radio tuner or receiver has a Push-Button connection, simply slip the bare wires into the push button connections. For a Screw Terminal connection, for wrap the bare wires around the screw terminals and tighten. See Figs. 2/3. Power Connection: Plug the small end of the included power supply into the jack located on the Slip-On Coaxial connector at the end of the FM Lead. Plug the large end of the power supply into any working electrical outlet. NOTE: When plugged into an electrical outlet, your TERK antenna will remain "ON". This is not a problem because the AC adapter uses very little power. To turn "OFF" the power supply, it must be plugged into a switched outlet. Some late model radio tuners and receivers come with a switched outlet located on the back. It is safe to use this outlet for the TERK power supply. 2 Locating Your AM/FM Tower For Best Results 1. All antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields. To maximize performance, position your AM/FM Tower antenna away from direct contact with receivers, tuners, CD players, TVs and computers. Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs and computers are turned off. 2. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects. Placing the AM/FM Tower near a window often provides the best results. 3. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be null points or dead spots where no radio signal can be received. This may also occur in metal-frame buildings and houses with aluminum siding. In this case, simply move your antenna, trying different locations, until the best reception is achieved. 4. In weak signal areas, optimun tuning is achieved with your receiver's scan button in the off position. 3
