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
Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each
terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna
wires.
2
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).
3
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction
giving the best reception.
4
Connect the FM wire antenna into the FM antenna
socket.
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
Use a PAL connector (not supplied) to connect an external
FM antenna.
To improve AM reception
Connect a 5 m to 6 m 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.
