Connecting antennas
Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire
antenna as shown below. To improve reception
and sound quality, connect external antennas
(see
Using external antennas
below).
1
Pull off the protective shields of both AM
antenna wires.
2
Push open the tabs, then insert one wire
fully into each terminal, then release the tabs
to secure the AM antenna wires.
3
Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached
stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the
direction indicated by the arrow (
fig. a
) then
clip the loop onto the stand (
fig. b
).
•
If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a
wall or other surface, secure the stand with
screws (
fig. c
) before clipping the loop to
the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.
4
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface
and in a direction giving the best reception.
5
Connect the FM wire antenna in the same
way as the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully
and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape
loosely or leave coiled up.
Using external antennas
To improve FM reception
Connect an external FM antenna as shown
below.
To improve AM reception
Connect a 5 to 6 meter length of vinyl-coated
wire to the AM antenna terminal without
disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.
For the best possible reception, suspend
horizontally outdoors.
