EXTERNAL AMIFM

ANTENNA TERMINALS

Although the Superadio normally provides excellent reception utilizing its built- in antennas, it offers the additional capability of connecting outside AM or FM antennaa to the EXTERNAL ANTENNA terminals on the cabinet back. External antennae can be used in poor reception areas (inside steel and concrete buildings)

or to improve recemlon of dktant stations. The antenna required for FM differs from the type needed for AM reception.

AM -An AM antenna for outside installation connects to the screw terminals on the cabinet back marked AM and GND.

FM - You may use vour TV antenna or an outside FM antenna. The twin leads connect to the scr&v terminals marked FM (300 ohm) and GND.

NO SOUND

Is power cord plugged into a working 120V AC outlet? IS POWER oN/OFF switch in ON (depressed) position? Are batteries installed correctly? Are bat- teries weak?

WEAK OR DISTORTED SOUND

Check condition of batteries or operate on AC power. If sound is good on AC power, batteries are weak and should be replaced.

LONG DISTANCE AM LISTENING (DXing)

Because your Superadio Ill is designed for long-range AM recewlon you will gain added enjoyment receiving broadcasts from dietant AM stations. You may listen to newa, weather, spor@ and other special programming from ofher cities. A station log has been included on page 6 to help you keep a DX (long distance recep- tion) record of stations received.

Although daytime AM reception is limited to a maximum of a few hundred miles (depending on the strength of the radio station, atmospheric conditions, etc.), at night you maybe able to pick up powerful stations over a thousand miles away.

HEADPHONE

You can be alone in a crowd with optional headphone No. 3-5750 that lets you listen in complete privacy. The radio speakers are automatically silenced when PU plug headphone into Jack located on the right side of the cabinet.

NOTE: The Jack is designed to permit use of stereo headphones with your mono radio, but reception will be heard in mono only.

USERS CHECK LIST

Before seeking service, a simple review of the step-by-step instructions may eliminate or clarify your problem.

This is because AM “sky-wave” signals are reflected off the ionosphere and back to earth in the nighttime hours.
