Installing FM-DW 2.0 / 2.1 with AM-Saver
Refer to the previous tab if AM bands are not required.
The FM-DW and AM-Saver modules use electrostatic sensitive devices:
the installation and setup must be performed by a person with sufficient
electronics background (especially restoring vintage tube and transistor
radios) to avoid damages, otherwise you are installing and using the FM-
DW module (and eventually the AM Saver module) at your own risks.
Ensure that your radio is accordingly restored and that its amplifier works
correctly.
Keep the radio unpluged from the mains during the whole installation
procedure.
The mains switch of your radio must be clean and not produce excessive
arcing.
If required, a suppressor capacitor may be added in parallel to it.
Before all, the FM-FW module works under a temperature of maximum
50°C and must be placed far from heat sources such as rectifying and output
tubes. It is recommended to place it under the chassis. Any heat excess will
make the FM circuit drift, ranging from a reduction of the FM band to

The Amplifier L-R pads of the AM Saver must be connected to the LF amplifier input(s). With AC/DC radios, it is recommended to add a capacitor before the LF amplifier input(s) if not already present by design. The value is not critical (typically 10nF).
