Connecting an AM outdoor antenna
If reception is poor with the indoor AM antenna, stretch out the outdoor antenna (16 feet (5 meters) or more) above a window or outside.
• Keep the indoor AM loop antenna connected. Do not remove it.
Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.
