FM ANTENNA INFORMATION
For the best FM sound quality, it is necessary to install an appropriate type of antenna, taking into consideration the signal strength
of the broadcasting station and the surrounding conditions.
SELECTION OF AN FM ANTENNA
1. In areas near FM stations:
When FM programs are to be received from nearby broad¬
casting stations, or when there is no significant noise inter¬
ference from motor vehicles, use the supplied indoor FM
T-antenna.
NOTE:
Every antenna has a directional characteristic (its sensitivity
varies according to its position).
Spread the T-section of the FM antenna.
Move it around in order to determine the best signal-receiv¬
ing position and then install it.
2. In areas relatively near FM stations:
If the indoor FM T-antenna fails to eliminate noise com¬
pletely or if you wish to pick up signals from distant
stations, install an outdoor antenna.
NOTE:
Generally, the sensitivity of an FM outdoor antenna cor¬
responds to the number of its elements. This should be the
criterion for the selection of an FM antenna.
3. Directional characteristics of FM outdoor antennas:
An increase in the number of elements not only improves
the sensitivity of the FM outdoor antenna but also en¬
hances its directional characteristics. This means that such
an antenna has to be positioned accurately for the best
reception of a particular FM broadcast station.
MULTIPATH PHENOMENON
A nearby mountain or a high-rise building reflects FM radio
waves, which interfere with the waves coming in directly.
Noise and sound distortion caused by this is known as multi-
path interference.
This problem can be remedied by taking advantage of the
directional characteristic of an FM antenna and by using an
antenna rotor.
GENERAL REMARKS ON FM ANTENNAS FOR
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Keep the following in mind when installing an FM antenna
outdoors:
1. Install the antenna away from road traffic and place it as
high as possible.
2. Determine the antenna position in relation to nearby
buildings and trees.
3. Keep the antenna away from high-tension power lines.
TIPS FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. Place for installation:
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of this
stereo system, keep the following in mind when selecting a
place for its installation:
• Shelter it from direct sunlight and keep it away from any
source of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.
• Avoid places where there is not enough ventilation for
proper heat dissipation.
• Install it on a steady support
2. When handling the power cord:
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from
an AC wall outlet. Grasp it at the plug.
3. Avoiding electric shocks and fire hazards:
If. by accident, water is spilled on the stereo system, unplug
the power cord immediately and take the unit to a FISHER
authorized service center for servicing. Wet insulation may
cause electric shocks and can be a fire hazard.
4. Do not drop pieces of metal into the stereo system:
Needles, coins and other electrically conductive materials
may cause trouble if they get into the stereo system.
5. When changing connections:
Be sure to switch off the power at the source when chang¬
ing connections to ihe input terminals. This precaution is
necessary to protect the speakers.
6. Cleaning:
Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
stereo system with a soft, dry cloth.
Stains should be removed by wiping the surfaces with a soft
cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.
Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide
liquid near the stereo system. Such chemicals may cause
surface discoloration and cracking.
