Making Connections
With Your New AM/FM Q

Radio tuners and receivers can have different connections
for your new AM/FM Q 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.

AM Connections:

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, 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.
