Aerial Trimmer (200X, 202X, 220X, 212X)
Tune receiver to a weak signal on 12 Kc/s (250 meters) approximately and adjust aerial trimmer -- small set screw on right-hand side of Control Unit -- for maximum volume.

Aerial Trimmer (Model 4300)
Switch to "SW" band (41-90 meters) and tune receiver to a weak signal near the middle of the band. Adjust aerial trimmer -- small set screw on right-hand side of Control Unit -- for maximum volume.

SUPPRESSION

In is important to keep all wiring, i.e. ignition and capacitor leads, as short as possible and to scrape to bare metal each point at which the earth connection is made. The distributor incorporates a built-in resistor in the main H.T. lead and plug suppressors are fitted in each plug lead.
1.   Fit a 1 mfd. capacitor (3/16" tag hole) to "SW" terminal on coil. Earth to coil bracket.
2.   Fit a 1 mfd. capacitor (1/4" tag hole) to dynamo yellow lead. Earth to mounting bolt.
3.   Fit a 1 mfd. capacitor (no tag) to terminal "A" on control box. Earth to nearest point.
4.   4300 model only. Fit a 1 mfd. capacitor to Petrol Pump. Earth to nearest point.
5.   Models 200X, 202X, 220X and 212X. Fit the choke provided in the supply lead to the Control Unit at the fuse location.
