Connecting Antenna
This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and how to connect commercially available
outdoor FM antenna.
The TX-L55 won’t pick up any radio signals without any
antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to
use the tuner.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 18).
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.
Notes:
Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to the transmitter.
Outdoor antenna should be located away from pos-
sible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,
etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock
hazards.
