ANTENNA ANTENNA
Connecting 300 ohm ribbon
wire to a 75/300 ohm

supplied)
Loosen the screws and
wrap the wire around these
screws. Then tighten the
screws with a screwdriver.
Notes
• Install the antenna well away from tall buildings and in an area where FM stations can directly be received.
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2
when you install the outdoor antenna.
Directional Iinkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each
other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.
