The system can be used freestanding or wall
mounted
If you are free standing the system, site the system
on a stable surface (ideally a stout shelf) where it
is unlikely to fall or get knocked over. This is
specially important in the case of the speakers.
The radio perfor mance of the system is
dependent on the aerial. If you plan to wall mount
the unit make sure that there is adequate signal
strength in your proposed location before drilling
the wall.
The FM aerial should be moved around to get the
optimum results. Do not extend or cut the FM
antenna lead.
The MW aerial is internal to the system, so if you
need good medium wave reception, try the
system in different locations before making a final
choice.
Make sure that you position the unit where the
remote handset can easily be operated in direct
line of sight and no more than 15 metres away.
