Connecting the Recepter Radio

®

HD to a cable radio signal

The Radio’s FM antenna connector is a standard “F” connector and will accept the cable FM feed from
most cable systems that provide FM programming. To connect your radio to the FM signal available
from some cable TV providers, contact your cable TV provider for assistance.

Be sure that the installation includes a splitter that filters the signal to prevent any 
re-emission of the TV spectrum through the Radio, so only the FM band, not the cable TV signal,
is transmitted to the Radio. As of the writing of this manual, HD signals are not being 
rebroadcast via cable providers.

Antenna grounding

Example of antenna grounding, per the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Notice for Cable TV System Installer

Please make note of Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA)
that provides guidelines for proper grounding. In particular,
this standard specifies that the cable ground shall be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as is practical.

Connecting the supplied external AM antenna

If AM reception is weak, you may improve the AM reception by connecting the provided antenna.
1. Disconnect the built-in internal AM antenna wires by pressing the spring terminals and pulling the 

wires out of the slot.

2. Connect the wires of the external AM antenna to  these terminals.
3. Position the antenna for the best reception.
