Connecting the FM antenna

The FM antenna comes attached. If the antenna is disconnected, follow
these steps to connect it:
1. Push the Type F connector plug on the end of the antenna into the
receptacle on the MicroSystem CD marked "FM antenna 75
2. Straighten out the antenna to its full length.
3. Orient the antenna wire for the best reception.
Optional: Connecting to a cable TV signal
You may be able to obtain better reception if your cable company offers an FM radio
signal on your TV cable. The MicroSystem CD's FM antenna connector will accept the
cable FM feed from most cable TV systems that provide FM programming. To connect
your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV providers, contact your
cable TV company for assistance before making any connection.
Be sure that the installation includes a splitter that filters the signal to
prevent any remission of the TV spectrum through the MicroSystem
CD, so only the FM band, not the cable TV signal, is transmitted to the
MicroSystem CD.
Notice for Cable TV System Installer
Please make note of Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides
guidelines for proper grounding. In particular, this standard specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as is practical. CAUTION: When making
connections to the rear of the MicroSystem CD, it is possible to experience
an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) event. If this happens, simply push the
On/off button on the front and recheck the preset settings.
