Getting connected
The bundled indoor FM antenna is designed
for indoor use only.
Using the bundled FM antenna
1. Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
Once the CR-N1 is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an FM radio station and
adjust the position of the FM antenna in
order to achieve the best possible recep-
tion.
2. Use thumbtacks (drawing pins) or
something similar to fix the antenna into
position.
Using an outdoor FM antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using
the bundled indoor FM antenna, an outdoor
FM antenna can be used instead, as shown.
Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but
good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting in an attic or loft.
Outdoor antenna should be located away
from possible noise sources, such as neon
signs, busy roads, etc.
For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should
be situated well away from power lines.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in
accordance with local regulations to prevent
electrical shock hazards. See item 14 of
“Important safeguards” at the front of this
manual.
Using a TV antenna
It’s best not to use the same antenna for
both FM and TV reception, as this can cause
interference problems. If circumstances
demand using the same antenna, use a TV/
FM antenna splitter, as shown.
