In order to receive radio stations you will need to connect different antennas for both FM and AM.
Basic FM and AM antennas are supplied with your T 3. Refer to
Other Antenna
Options
in the
Technically Speaking
section for detailed information regarding antennas.
FM Antenna Connection
The FM “dipole” antenna Is a pink-hued flexible wire that looks like a “T” when it’s stretched out.
It provides adequate FM reception in many urban and suburban locations. Once connected, you can
adjust its position for optimum reception. The ends of the wires at the base of the “T” end in spade
lug connectors. The round T 3 FM 75
Ω
antenna input is called an F connector.
What You’ll Need:
• The supplied dipole antenna
• The supplied “balun” transformer adapter
• A screwdriver
Before Connecting
Turn off the power to the T 3.
To Connect
Use the screwdriver to loosen the two screw terminals on the adapter.
Slide one of the metal spade lugs under each screw terminal.
Tighten the screw terminals so the spade lugs are firmly secured and not touching each other.
Press the "balan" adapter on the 75
Ω
FM antenna F connector
Position the antenna for best FM reception.
Fasten the antenna on the wall or behind the equipment cabinet with small nails
or thumbtacks.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
Other FM Antenna Options
You need the balun adaptor to connect the antenna wires and to convert their 300 ohm
impedance to the T 3 antenna input’s 75 ohm impedance. Although we have supplied a
“folded dipole” antenna with your T 3, you will obtain better reception with a coaxial 75 ohm
connection to an outdoor FM or TV/FM antenna or a coaxial 75 ohm connection to your cable
TV service. Refer to
Technically Speaking
for details on other possible FM antenna options.
