Using the FM and AM Antennas
Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to make sure both the FM and AM antennas are positioned properly. Uncoil the FM antenna at the back of the unit, making sure it is fully extended (you may even want to tape it to the wall behind the unit if possible. The higher the better.) You’ll also need to connect the AM antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen to AM stations. Rotate the AM loop antenna for better reception.
Connecting the Speakers
Each speaker has a black (negative) / red (positive) wire and a black (negative) / purple
(positive) wire. When connecting the speakers, match the red / purple wires to the red / purple jacks and the black wires to the black jacks.
