Connecting FM / HD Radio TM Receiver Antenna / to a Cable Radio Signal
This Radio's FM Antenna Connector is a standard connector that will accept
either the FM Antenna wire (included) or the cable FM feed from most cable
systems that provide FM programming. To connect the included FM Antenna
wire, slide the black plastic end of the antenna wire onto the center post of
the antenna connector on the back of the unit. To connect your Radio to the
FM signal available from some cable TV providers, contact your cable TV
provider for assistance and also to find out if HD Radio
TM broadcast signals
are available through the cable line. As of the writing of this manual, HD
Radio
TM signals are not being rebroadcast via cable providers.
Be sure that the installation includes a splitter that will filter the signal to prevent any
re-emission of the TV spectrum through the Radio, so that only the FM band, not the
cable TV signal, is transmitted to the Radio.
Antenna Grounding
Example of antenna grounding, per the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Notice for Cable TV System Installer
Please make note of Article 820-40 of the NEC
(of USA) that provides guidelines for proper
grounding. In particular, this standard specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as is practical.
