2.1

FM RECEPTION

Please remember that FM broadcast signals may be difficult to receive in low-lying areas, around
buildings and in iron-reinforced buildings.
2.1.1

Installation of Included Dipole FM Antenna

Connect the included dipole antenna to the 300 Ohm terminals on the rear panel of the KAR1201
expansion unit (see Figure 3). While listening to the reception, adjust the position of the dipole antenna
until optimum reception is received.
2.1.2

Installation of an Antenna Using 75 Ohm Coaxial Cable

In regions where reception may be weak, you may use a larger outdoor antenna. These types of
antennas usually feature a 75 Ohm coaxial connection. The KAR1201 expansion unit is equipped with
a 75 Ohm antenna connector on the rear panel.

AM RECEPTION

2.2.1

AM Indoor Antenna

Connect a cable (20 to 26 feet in length) to the AM terminal on the rear panel of the KAR1201
expansion unit. This cable should be routed away from power cables and fluorescent or neon lights
(see Figure 4).
2.2.2

AM Outdoor Antenna

For improved reception, you may install an outdoor AM antenna. Use a vinyl coated wire (20 to 26 feet
in length is optimum). Connect the antenna to the rear panel of the KAR1201 expansion unit.
2.2.3

Ground Cable (Earth GND)

Connect the grounding cable (GND) to the earth for safety and reduction of noise. (see Figure 4)
