Ⅵ Optional outdoor FM antenna
Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the
best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbon-
shaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is
cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it
through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more
expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference,
is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal
objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder
cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable
is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the
cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make
sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of
cable.
* Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a
75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections.

Notes for FM antenna installation
●
To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna
as far from heavy traffic as possible.
●
Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible.
Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.
●
The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from
reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

Connecting the AM loop antenna
Orient so that the best
reception is obtained.
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
* The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
