Twist off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.
3
Insert one wire into each terminal. To open a terminal, press down
on the tab; release to secure.
4
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction
giving the best reception.
Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances (including the
display unit of this system), and do not let it come into contact with metal objects.
Note: The signal ground (H) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an antenna
is connected. It is not an electrical safety ground.
FM wire antenna
1
Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don't drape
loosely or leave it coiled up. The supplied FM antenna is a simple means of receiving FM
stations; using a dedicated, outdoor FM antenna will usually give you better reception and
sound quality. See below for connection details.
Connecting external antennas
If you find reception quality is poor with the supplied indoor antennas, try connecting
outdoor antennas (not supplied).
External AM antenna
Use 15 to 18 feet (5–6 meters) of vinyl-insulated wire and set up either indoors or
outdoors. Leave the AM loop antenna connected.
