AM outdoor antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient
reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a
concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM
antenna.
Use either a high quality commercially available AM antenna or,
if not available, an insulated wire more than 16 ft (5 m) long, strip
one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown above.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a
window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a
reliable ground.
<
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the
AM loop antenna.
FM indoor antenna
Connect the supplied lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75
Ω
socket and extend the lead.
Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or
wall which gives the best reception and then fix the antenna in
that position with thumb tacks or the like.
FM outdoor antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use a
75
Ω
unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element
antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals
are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more
elements.
<
Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an FM outdoor
antenna.
