If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 32).
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
•
For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
•
Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•
For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
•
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-
ards.

cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
