Terk TOWER_OMЙ - Manual (Page 2)

Locating Your AM/FM Tower
For Best Results
1. All antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields.
To maximize performance, position your AM/FM
Tower antenna away from direct contact with
receivers, tuners, CD players, TVs and computers.
Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs
and computers are turned off.
2. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects.
Placing the AM/FM Tower near a window often
provides the best results.
3. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be null
points or dead spots where no radio signal can be
received. This may also occur in metal-frame buildings
and houses with aluminum siding. In this case, simply
move your antenna, trying different locations, until the
best reception is achieved.
4. In weak signal areas, optimun tuning is achieved with
your receiver's scan button in the off position.

AM Connections:
AM Push-Button Connection:
Your TERK antenna uses a Twin Lead Bare Wire for
AM connections. If your radio tuner or receiver has a
Push-Button connection, simply slip the bare wires into
the push button connections. For a Screw Terminal
connection, for wrap the bare wires around the screw
terminals and tighten.
See Figs. 2/3.
Power Connection:
Plug the small end of the included power supply into the
jack located on the Slip-On Coaxial connector at the end
of the FM Lead. Plug the large end of the power supply
into any working electrical outlet.
NOTE: When plugged into an electrical outlet, your TERK
antenna will remain “ON”. This is not a problem because
the AC adapter uses very little power. To turn “OFF” the
power supply, it must be plugged into a switched outlet.
Some late model radio tuners and receivers come with a
switched outlet located on the back. It is safe to use this
outlet for the TERK power supply.

Making Connections
With Your New AM/FM Tower
Radio tuners and receivers can have different connections
for your new Tower antenna. Please find the connection
that best matches your tuner or receiver and follow the
listed instructions.
FM Connections:
75 Ohm Coaxial:
Your TERK antenna has a Slip-On Coaxial connector on
the FM lead. Simply slide the connector onto the coaxial
terminal.
See Fig. 1.
75 Ohm Push-Button Connection:
If your Radio tuner or receiver has Push-Button terminals
for FM you will need to use the supplied RED 75 Ohm
matching transformer. First slide the RED 75 Ohm
matching transformer into the connector on the FM lead
of the antenna. Next slide the Red wire into the terminal
marked “FM 75 Ohm”. Lastly connect the BLACK wire into
the terminal marked “FM Ground” or “GND”.
See Fig. 2.
