PREPARATION Ⅵ Connecting the indoor FM antenna Connect the included indoor antenna to the 75Ω UNBAL. FM ANT terminal. GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good ground. A good ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth. Note Do not use an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM antenna at the same time. Ⅵ Optional outdoor AM antenna If this unit is placed in steel buildings or an area far from broadcasting stations, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna. Ⅵ Optional outdoor FM antenna Consult your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the flat ribbon cable is also important. Flat ribbon cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as flat ribbon cable. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with this type of cable. * Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections. 300-ohm flat ribbon cable 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable 75-ohm antenna adapter 300-ohm flat ribbon cable 75-ohm coaxial cable Notes for FM antenna installation q To minimize the influence of automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. q Keep the flat ribbon cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up an excess of the cable. q The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures. 26
