Connecting AM/FM antennas

Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire
antenna as shown below. To improve reception
and sound quality, connect external antennas
(see

Connecting external antennas below).

Pull off the protective shields of both AM

antenna wires.

Push open the tabs, then insert one wire

fully into each terminal, then release the tabs
to secure the AM antenna wires.

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.

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface

and in a direction giving the best reception.

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.

Connecting external antennas

To improve FM reception connect an external
FM antenna to the

FM UNBAL 75

Ω.

To improve AM reception, connect a 5 m to 6 m
(16 ft. to 20 ft.) length of vinyl-coated wire to the
AM LOOP terminals without disconnecting
the supplied AM loop antenna.

For the best possible reception, suspend
horizontally outdoors.
