Before attaching a 75-ohm coaxial cable (the kind with a round
wire going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM
antenna.
How to strip the 75-ohm coaxial cable and connect it
to the FM terminals
1. Strip off the outside covering of the 75-ohm coaxial cable to
expose the braided metallic mesh about 20 mm (13/16
inches).
2. Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as
shown in the illustration above.
3. Strip the insulation about 10 mm (7/16 inches) back from
the central wire.
4. Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM
terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

•
DO NOT use an old battery together with a
new one.
DO NOT use different types of batteries
together.
DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.
DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery
compartment when you are not going to use
the remote control for an extended period of
time. Otherwise, it will be damaged from
