Installing the DAB indoor antenna
Find the position at which the reception
sensitivity is best using the “Tuning Aid”
function, then secure the tip of the DAB
antenna in this position using a pin.

Where to install the outdoor
antenna
• Place the antenna in the position in which
reception is the best.
• Place away from streets or railroad tracks to
avoid the influence of cars or trains.
¢
Connecting the FM outdoor
antenna
• We recommend using a 75
Ω
/ohms coaxial
cable to avoid interference from other
equipment.
• Be sure to disconnect the included FM antenna.
¢
Connecting an AM outdoor
antenna
• Be sure to connect the ground wire to the
ground terminal (
).
• Be sure to also connect the included AM loop
antenna.
¢
Connecting an DAB outdoor
antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved with the
included DAB indoor antenna, use an DAB
outdoor antenna. Connect an F male type
connector to the coaxial cable and connect the
antenna to the DAB COAX. 75

terminal.
NOTE:
• The DRA-F102 DAB’s ground terminal (
) is
the ground for the AM loop antenna. It is not
a safety ground.
• It is not possible to achieve good reception for
AM broadcasts if the AM loop antenna is
placed near a metallic object.
NOTE:
• Do not place under power transmission lines.
Doing so is extremely dangerous.
• To avoid attracting lightning, do not place in
too high a position.
• Connecting the ground wire to a gas pipe is
extremely dangerous. Never do so under any
circumstances.
Connecting an outdoor antenna
In some cases better reception can be achieved by using an outdoor antenna.
• Use an FM antenna adapter (commercially
available) suited for the DRA-F102 DAB’s antenna
terminal.
• Refer to the FM antenna adapter’s operating
instructions for instructions on connecting the
antenna cable to the FM antenna adapter.
