Q 5 Locating Your AM/FM Q For Best Results 1. All antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields. To maximize performance, position your AM/FM Q antenna away from direct contact with receivers, tuners, CD players, TVs and computers. Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs and computers are turned off. 2. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects. Placing the AM/FM Q near a window often provides the best results. 3. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be null points or dead spots where no radio signal can be received. This may also occur in metal-frame buildings and houses with aluminum siding. In this case, simply move your antenna, trying different locations, until the best reception is achieved. 4. In weak signal areas, optimum tuning is achieved with your receiver's scan button in the off position. 5. The Q's AM loop antenna is the BLACK rippled section of the antenna. For optimum AM results, position the "AM Loop" away from the FM portion of the antenna so that the AM Loop is at a 90˚ angle from the FM antenna. The AM portion of the Q is non-amplified. See Fig. 6.
