• A properly ittstalled outdoor atttenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor receptiott quality, an
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.

• If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit. do not connect the ittdoor FM antetuta to this unit.

• To mittimize interl_zrence from automobile igttition, locate the antenna as fi_rfrom heavy traffic as possible.

• Keep the lceder cahle or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do trot bundle or roll up excess cable.

• The antenna should be placed at least 2 meters h'om reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.
