The antenna trimmer is essential for matching the antenna
with the radio in order to obtain the maximum sensitivity of
the radio.
It must be adjusted with the antenna actually mounted on
the vehicle. If the trimmer is not adjusted properly, the
radio suffers from not only low sensitivity but also noises,
su’ch as external noise and noise from passing vehicles.
In the following cases, therefore, adjust it as described
below.
(1) When radio is installed.
(2) If antenna is replaced.
(3) If radio has low sensitivity.
(4) If radio is noisy.
AkTENNA TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT
Mgke the following preparations for adjustment:
(1)’ Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position.
(2) Extend the antenna all the way.
(3) Tune accurately to a station near 1,400 kHz in order to
receive a broadcast in as weak an electric field as can
be barely received. If there is no station near 1,400 kHz,
tune to any high-frequency station (above 1,000 kHz)
available. If there are two or more stations near 1,400
kHz, choose the louder one.
(4) Set the volume control to the proper volume.
(5) Set the tone ccontrol to treble position.
Be sure that preparations 1 through 5 have been correctly
made.
Insert a screwdriver into the trimmer adjusting hole.
Tumrn the screwdriver clockwise or counterclockwise for
maximum sensitivity (maximum broadcast wave sound).
If the optimum sensitivity point cannot be found, check for
an antenna malfunction or a broken wire.
NOTE
The antenna trimmer of an electronic tuning radio does not
require adjustment.
