If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied 
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available 
outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable 

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 

possible 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 
hazards.

■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV 
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If 
circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, 
as shown.

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.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed 
horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be 
obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a 
window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left 
connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with 
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
