UnitiQute 2 Installation and Connection
2.2 Mains Power Connection
Connect UnitiQute 2 to a mains power socket using either
the mains cable supplied or a Naim Power-Line.
2.3 FM/DAB Aerial Connection
In order to enable high quality FM and DAB radio,
UnitiQute 2 requires a, strong, interference-free radio signal.
Its rear panel FM/DAB Aerial socket must be connected,
via 75 Ohm low-loss coaxial cable, to a suitable aerial. The
aerial should be mounted clear of large obstructions and
as high as possible; ideally on a roof.
Note: Your local retailer should be able to offer advice on
a suitable aerial and aerial installer.
