Internal and External AM and FM Switch

To use an external AM and FM antenna, set the switch to ‘Ext.’. The switch

must be on ‘Int.’ when using the built-in telescoping antenna. Extend the

antenna to its full length for best reception.

Cable and Connection Options (see next page).

Connecting to Audio Equipment

Remove your MultiStream HD receiver from its base unit.

Re-connect POWER to the receiver and connect either the AUX OUT or

OPTICAL OUT to the input of your audio device. (Refer to the manufactur-

er's instructions on the device to determine the proper connection point.) You

can now listen to the radio through your stereo system.

Connecting to Vehicles

Connecting the MultiStream HD receiver to a car or boat stereo

requires a 12VDC car power adapter that plugs into the cigarette

lighter. Remove the receiver from the base unit. Connect the

12VDC adapter to POWER on the MultiStream HD receiver.

Do not use a power adapter rated higher than 12VDC.

Vehicles with AUX (RCA) Connections

Connect AUX Out on the Multistream HD to AUX LINE IN on the vehi-

cle’s radio. (See owner’s manual for details.) The Multistream HD will play

through your vehicle’s stereo speakers.

Vehicles with Cassette Players

You will need a cassette adapter. Connect the adapter to HEADPHONE on

the receiver and plug the cassette into your cassette player. (See your

owner’s manual for details.) The MultiStream HD will play through your vehi-

cle’s stereo speakers.

Vehicles without Cassette Players or RCA Connections

You will need a mobile FM transmitter. Connect the mobile FM transmitter to

the HEADPHONE connection on the MultiStream HD. (Refer to the manu-

facturer’s instructions for tuning the mobile FM transmitter.) The MultiStream

HD will play through your vehicle’s stereo speakers.

This device sends the signal to your vehicle’s radio antenna. It is the sound

quality of "regular" radio, but you will be able to access multiple streams.

Note: Some locations have too much FM congestion for this to work well.

Transportable

The MultiStream HD receiver can be removed from its base and
connected to audio equipment that accepts an input, including car
and boat radios. You can take it with you!
