1. Caution: To prevent the risk of electric
shock, first remove the AC Power Cord
from the back of the MX119, MX134,
MX135, MHT Series, C45, MR85 or

2. Some of the semiconductor devices (CMOS
and NMOS) used in the TM1 Module,
MX119, MX134, MX135, MHT Series, C45,
MR85 and other McIntosh Components are
inherently sensitive to static electricity even
when connected in a circuit, and can be permanently
damaged by a static electricity discharge. When handling
the TM1 and working inside the MX119, MX134, MX135,
MHT Series, C45, MR85 or other McIntosh Components,
follow the procedures below to insure against static
electricity damage.

A. Make sure the MX119, MX134, MX135, MHT Series,

C45, MR85 or other McIntosh Components are

properly grounded.
B. Use an approved wrist strap that is grounded.
C. Remove the TM1 from the Anti-Static Bag and work

with it only after the above conditions have been met.
D. The RAA1 Remote AM Antenna contains the Tuned

AM RF Amplifier First Stage Circuitry and is

matched to the specific AM/FM Tuner Module.

3. Some of the Installation Instructions in this Dealer
Installation Guide are also used for other McIntosh
Components. To identify the appropriate Installation
Instructions, refer to the label located on the Connector
Cover metal plate inside the McIntosh Component.
