Antenna preparation
Unpack the
AM
antenna and snap it’s cylindrical end onto the base/mounting
plate. Stretch out the twisted cord and Insert the small rectangular plug at the
end into the socket located at
(19)
on the back of the radio. Note, this plug is
keyed and only fits one way. Orient the AM antenna for best reception of your
favorite AM station.
Unroll the
FM
wire antenna
(20)
and stretch it out. This antenna is permanently
attached to the back of the radio. Position this antenna for best reception of your
favorite FM station.
Select a location for your radio
Because the radio generates heat during operation it is necessary to provide
open space around it for proper cooling. Failure to do so can significantly reduce
the service life.
Do not place the radio near a heater or in direct sunlight. In addition, the radio
should not be placed atop electronic devices that generate heat.
In most situations the best radio reception will be had when the KC-120ST and
its antennas are near a window. This is particularly true for the “Atomic Clock”
radio receiver.
For proper remote control operation there must be an unobstructed path between
the remote and the radio face.
The KC-120ST includes an auxiliary input allowing sound from computers, TV
sets, MP3 players, portable tape players, or other device with a headphone
output to play through the KC-120ST. If this feature will be used, keep in mind
the length of the interconnect cable needed when selecting the location.
Connecting power
Connect the supplied power adapter to the jack
(22)
on the back of the radio.
Plug the adapter into an un-switched AC outlet. Turn on the radio and verify
operation. Use only the supplied adapter. Damage resulting from the use of
adapters supplying the wrong voltage or polarity is not covered by the warranty.
