1. Carefully remove the stylus from the cartridge
¬
(see ).
2. Connect the wires from the headshell to the pins
­
on the cartridge (see ). Use the following table for
the correct connections. Note: To prevent "ground
loops" and hum, do not make common (ground)
connections at these terminals.

3. Mount cartridge in the headshell and replace sty-
® ¬
lus (see and ). Do not force. Note: Screws
can be threaded up from the bottom to provide max-
imum record clearance.
4. When the Dynamic Stabilizer brush is set to the
Ã
operating position (see A), it absorbs 0.5 grams
of tonearm tracking force. The proper tonearm set-
DYNAMIC STABILIZER/DE-STATICIZER
The M97xE's exclusive viscous-damped Dynamic
¯
Stabilizer ( ) maintains a uniform distance be-
tween the cartridge and the record under difficult
playing conditions, such as those caused by
warped records or mismatched tonearm mass.
When such stabilization is not required, the stabiliz-
er can be locked into its up position, which can im-
prove sound quality under ideal playing conditions.
Over 10,000 conductive fibers in the stabilizer
brush neutralize static charges on the record sur-
face and conduct them to the ground. Additionally,
the fibers sweep the record groove clean of dust
and dirt in front of the stylus tip. The Stabilizer also
absorbs impact to prevent record or stylus damage
if the arm is accidentally dropped on a record.
For monophonic playback of recordings, the left and right channels should be connected in parallel. This
is accomplished most conveniently by setting the function switch on the associated preamplifier to "A + B"
or "MONO." If the existing equipment has a single monophonic input, the two channels of the cartridge
should be paralleled and connected to this single input.
CARTRIDGE OPERATION
1. Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in
tonearm and stylus is properly inserted in cartridge.
2. Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting
turntable.
3. Regulate tonearm set-down to prevent stylus
from striking edge of turntable or record.
4. Do not handle tonearm while record is being
played. Use cueing device if available.
5. If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as
soon as stylus engages groove.
6. Do not activate arm without record(s) on turntable.
7. Do not use damaged records.
8. Check tracking force and anti-skate adjustments
periodically. The Shure SFG-2 Tracking Force
Gauge, available through your Shure dealer, pro-
vides a simple way to accurately set tracking force.

5. Make the following final adjustments. Consult
your turntable instructions.
Cartridge Overhang: If adjustable.
Anti-Skate: If this adjustment is not specified in
your turntable instructions, use the same setting
as for tracking force.
Tonearm Height: If adjustable.
SIDE GUARD STYLUS PROTECTION
The Side-Guard stylus protection system helps
prevent stylus damage if the cartridge accidentally
slides across a record. This system responds to
side thrusts on the stylus by withdrawing the entire
stylus cantilever and tip safely into the stylus hous-
ing before the cantilever can be damaged.
MONOPHONIC PLAYBACK
Use the supplied brush to clean the stylus and dy-
namic stabilizer. Brush only from back to front, as
shown (
brush. Use alcohol or an alcohol-distilled water
solution to clean the stylus. Commercial cleaning
solutions may damage the stylus.
