Attach the antenna wires from the AM loop antenna to the 

 

and 

 (ground) 

 terminals.

Place the antenna on a flat surface and rotate it for the best AM 
reception.

Notes: 

• Keep the AM loop antenna connected even when you use 

another indoor antenna or an outdoor AM antenna.

• Ensure that the antenna does not touch the receiver or any 

other metal object.

• Do not place the antenna near a CD player, a personal 

computer, or a TV set.

• If the wire between the AM loop antenna and your 

receiver is too short, you can add extra wire, available at 
your local RadioShack store.

You can also use an optional RadioShack shortwave antenna 
kit (Cat. No. 278-758), which makes an excellent outdoor AM 
antenna. Connect the outdoor AM antenna wire to the 
receiver’s 

 terminal as shown.

FM Antennas

Note:

For the best results, use 75-ohm coaxial cable to connect 

an outdoor antenna to the receiver. Connect the supplied FM 
antenna to the 

Ω

 

 terminal as shown then 

extend it. 

For better FM reception, you can also use a rabbit-ear TV 
antenna (for indoor use only) or an outdoor VHF TV antenna. 
To connect the TV antenna to the receiver, you need a VHF/
UHF/FM splitter (not included). RadioShack stores carry a full 
line of quality antennas and antenna connection accessories.

Warning:

To prevent injury, read and follow all cautions and 

warnings that accompany the outdoor antenna.

For the best radio reception, use an outdoor antenna. Follow 
these steps to connect an outdoor FM antenna to the receiver 
using 75

Ω

 coaxial cable.

Note: If your antenna has 300

Ω

 twin-lead cable, connect it to 

the 

Ω

 

 terminals.

1. Disconnect the supplied FM antenna from the receiver’s 

Ω

 

 terminal. 

2. With a stripping tool, remove about 1

1

/

2

 inches of the 75

Ω

 

cable’s outer insulation to expose the cable’s shielding.

3. Fold back the shielding from the inner insulation.

4. Remove about 1 inch of the inner insulation from around 

the center wire.

5. Pull the shielding to one side. Connect the center wire to 

the receiver’s 

Ω

 terminal. Twist the 

shielding to secure any loose wire strands, and connect it 
to the 

terminal.

Caution:

The cable’s shielding should only touch the 

 terminal.
