AERIALINSTALLATION The installation of a high quality aerial system is essential if
the best possible performance is to be obtained from the KREMLIN tuner. However,
the type of aerial system required for your location depends on a number of factors
including the power and siting of transmitters, the proximity of hills and tall buildings
and the presence of local interference sources. In some areas a high gain, highly
directional aerial will be required to reject interference sources. Where there are
transmitters in different directions, an aerial rotator may be useful. For some buildings
it may be illegal or impractical to erect a large outdoor aerial and therefore a high
qualityindooraerialmustsuffice.
For the best advice on an installation to meet the requirements in your area, we
recommend that you contact a local, reputable aerial installer. Your nearest Linn
dealershouldbeabletosuggestsuitablecompanies.
WARNING The tuner and the preamplifier must be switched off before connecting or
disconnectinganyoftheplugsontherearpanel.
