Thank you for purchasing the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna by

C.Crane. The antenna can be used on a small portable or desktop

radio with excellent results. It is also the first AM antenna that can

provide exceptional improvement to a large home stereo system. It

can actually reduce static and radio noise on AM.

Remove the battery compartment cover on

the bottom of the TUNER CONTROL.

Connect the battery. The antenna will run

for approximately 45 hours on battery

power. The 9-volt battery is automatically

disconnected when the AC adapter is

plugged in.

The AC adapter is simply plugged

into the wall, and then into jack

labeled "9V DC" on the back of the

TUNER CONTROL.

These instructions cover the basic setup.

Attach one end of the 5' PS2 cable to the jack, labeled To Antenna,

on the back of the TUNER CONTROL unit. The arrow on the plug

should face up. Please, DO NOTforce the plug into the TUNER

CONTROL. It will plug in nicely when the pins are aligned.

Initial Setup

ANTENNA ELEMENT

The first time you use the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna by C.Crane

it takes time, planning, and a little bit of patience. You will need to

re-check and re-tune the unit to find the best position. After you have

found the best spot for the TUNER CONTROL, FERRITE STICK,

and ANTENNA ELEMENT, you can take the time to secure and

make permanent the installation to your liking. The FERRITE STICK

can be fixed to the radio using the included hook and loop fastener.

If you have a problem finding a location for the ANTENNA

ELEMENT that produces good results, be sure to try different areas

within 50' of your radio. If you find a good position, you have the

option of locating the ANTENNA ELEMENT there. If you need to

mount the ELEMENT away from the radio for best reception, you

may order additional cable in 25' or 50' lengths. Please refer to the

inside cover of this manual for optional accessories.

To use the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna with a radio that does not

have antenna connectors:

1. Find the patchcord with the

1/8" x RCA male connector.

2. Insert the RCA plug into the

FERRITE STICK.

3. Insert the other end of the

patchcord into the jack

labeled To Radio on the

TUNER CONTROL. (See

photo on page 5.)

Stick

Place the TUNER

CONTROL in a

comfortable location

relative to your radio.

Place the ANTENNA

ELEMENT a few feet

away. If the ANTENNA

ELEMENT is placed too

close to the radio, it will

cause noise on your radio.

1. Put the FERRITE STICK on top of the radio near the center. The

position shown in the photo (below) is a good position when the

Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna by

C.Crane is used with the CCRadio.

2. For testing purposes, tune your radio

to any weak AM station. It is important

that the station be weak so you can

clearly detect the improvement in

reception.

3. Rotate the FINE TUNE control, it will click on and the red

LED indicator light will come on. Turn the COARSE TUNE control

knob slowly and you will likely notice a change in reception at

some point on the dial. Adjust the control knob until you notice

the most improvement on yoursignal. Now you can use the FINE

TUNE control for further refinement.

4. Move the FERRITE STICK around the radio to find theposition

that affects the signal the most. This position is the “sweet spot”,

or the best position.

5. Again, adjust the FINE TUNE on the TUNER CONTROL for the

bestreception possible.

6. Now you can orientate the ANTENNA ELEMENT for best

reception. In most cases, the ELEMENT does not have to be

adjusted again. When radio noise is a problem, try rotating the

ELEMENT in the direction which reduces noise to a minimum.

With a Portable Radio

You can directly connect the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna by

C.Crane to a home stereo by connecting the 1/8" Mono x RCA con-

trol patchcord to the RCA x two wire patchcord, as shown below left.

You can then attach one wire to the GROUND and one wire to the

AM terminal on the back of the receiver, as shown below right. Most

of the time you will find spring clips or screw terminals. It will not

matter which wire you connect to which terminal.

Next, plug the other end into the jack labeled To Radio on the

TUNER CONTROL. If you want to experiment or if your receiver

does not have antenna terminals, you can also use the FERRITE

STICK on whatever “loop” or “loopstick antenna” that was supplied

with the receiver.

1. Tune your radio to any weak AM frequency. It is important that

the station be weak so you can clearly detect the improvement in

reception.

2. Rotate the FINE TUNE control, it will click on and the red LED

light indicator will come on. Turn the COARSE TUNE control knob

slowly and you will likely notice a change in reception at some

pointon the

dial. Turn the

COARSE TUNE

control until you notice

the most signal improvement.

3. Adjust the FINE TUNE control for the best reception possible.

4. Now orientate the ANTENNA ELEMENT for best reception. In

most cases, the ELEMENT does not have to be adjusted again.

After you have found the best spot for the TUNER CONTROL and

ANTENNA ELEMENT you can take the time to secure and make

permanent the installation to your liking.

To AM

If after thorough testing, you find the

ANTENNA ELEMENT must be mounted

outdoors for best reception, you may

order additional cable in 25' or 50'

lengths (refer to the inside cover for

optional accessories). Generally, you will

only need to mount the antenna

outdoors if radio noise and static reduce

reception indoors.

When planning your remote installation

try not to make vertical runs with the long cables. If the cable is

vertical, it will pick up more radio noise than if you run it horizontally

because most radio noise is vertically polarized. You can run a

cable up to 75' by using a special order cable coupler (refer to the

inside cover for optional accessories). At 100' you will experience

about a 25% loss in the performance.

Always mount the ANTENNA ELEMENT in a sheltered area to

protect it from water. Two mounting holes are provided on the back

to help install the unit. Refer to page 10 for important information

regarding Outdoor Installation Precautions.

Occasionally a home receiver will

include a loop type antenna. You can

use the FERRITE STICK in conjunction

with a loop, as shown at right. Move the

FERRITE STICK around until you find

the “sweet spot” that works best.

Some older receivers have a ferrite stick

similar to the one we provide. In this

case, for best reception, put them

parallel to each other and find the

“sweet spot”.

In either case, you can use the hook and loop fastener to keep the

FERRITE STICK in place.

Remote Installation of Antenna Element

AM Antenna by C.Crane

With a Loop Antenna

Lightning poses a serious hazard to you and to your radio

equipment. Your antenna is a conductor. If it is struck by

lightning (or touched by a live power line), it will conduct

this electricity into your home.

Safety precautions require that you equip your antenna with

lightning protection equipment. The equipment needed and

installation methods can vary from area to area.

WE RECOMMEND THATYOU HIRE A LICENSED, BONDED, AND

EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL TO HELP WITH OUTSIDE

INSTALLATIONS.

An injury, of any kind, is simply not worth it. Please be careful!

Included with the Optional Remote Installation Kit is Silicone Grease

and Coax-Seal. Apply silicone grease to the cable connector before

plugging into the ANTENNA ELEMENT. Also apply Coax-Seal to the

perimeter seam of the plastic case, screw holes, cable connection

and ground lug. This will provide water resistance.

If radio noise and static are a problem, start by finding a place as

close as possible to the radio where the static is absent. This is

done by tuning a portable radio to a point on the AM dial where

there is no station and static is at a high level. Bring the portable

near an outside wall or even outside up to 50' away from your host

radio. When you find a place without static, this is where you may

want to mount the Antenna Element. Please refer to Grounding the

Antenna Element on page 11, and Radio Noise Troubleshooting on

page 12 for additional information.
