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 the bottom center 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 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 

 
Since 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 many buildings the best radio reception will be had when the antennas are 
near a window. 
 
For proper remote control operation there must be an unobstructed path between 
the remote and the radio face. 
 
The KC-80 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-80.  If this feature will be used, keep in mind the length of 
the interconnect cable needed when selecting the location. 
 

Connecting power 

 
Attach the DC power adapter to the DC-In jack on the back of the radio.  Plug the 
adapter into an always-on (un-switched) AC outlet.  Turn on the radio and verify 
operation.  Use only the supplied adapter.
