Connecting Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied
indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna and how to
connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM
antennas.
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead.
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-
cially available outdoor AM antenna.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
Once your T-433 is ready for use, you’ll need to
tune into an FM radio station and adjust the posi-
tion of the FM antenna to achieve the best possi-
ble reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution:
Be careful that you don’t injure your-
self when using thumbtacks.

Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
The antenna connection is polarity sensitive.
Connect the black wire to the ground terminal
( ). Connect the other wire to the other terminal.
Make sure that the wires are attached securely
and that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Once your T-433 is ready for use, you’ll need to
tune into an AM radio station and adjust the posi-
tion of the AM antenna to achieve the best possi-
ble reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
your T-433, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
