Frequently Asked Questions - FT441 PHILIPS

How do I connect the antenna?

For FM, connect the supplied dipole antenna to the FM antenna terminals (75 ohm). For AM, connect the loop antenna to the AM terminals and rotate for best reception.

What is RDS and how does it work?

RDS (Radio Data System) displays station identification and program information on the tuner's display. It works automatically when tuned to an RDS-enabled FM station.

How do I clean the tuner?

Unplug the unit. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasives, or solvents.

What fuse should I use for the mains plug?

Use a 5 Amp BS1362 fuse (ASTA or BSI approved). If replacing a plug, ensure the fuse is 5A and the cord grip secures the sheath.

How do I tune to a station?

Turn the tuning knob to select a frequency on the analog dial. Fine-tune for best sound and lowest noise.

Can I listen to stereo broadcasts?

Yes, the tuner automatically switches to stereo when a strong enough stereo signal is received. The stereo indicator will light.

What audio outputs are available?

The tuner provides RCA line-level outputs (left and right) for connection to an amplifier or receiver.

What are the dimensions and weight?

Approximate dimensions: 430 mm width, 80 mm height, 250 mm depth. Weight: about 3 kg.

How do I improve FM reception?

Extend the dipole antenna fully and adjust its orientation. Avoid metal obstructions. For weak signals, consider an external FM antenna.

Is the tuner compatible with a 240V supply?

The tuner is designed for 230V AC, 50Hz. It will operate safely on a 240V supply as the tolerance is typically ±10%.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or 12 ) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.
