The strength of the incoming signal can be shown on the Information Display by pressing the Select button !8. The more segments are visible in the lower display line, the stronger the signal. By changing the position of the antenna, you can increase the signal strength. You can also opt for an external anten- na, available at your dealer.
For best reception, place the antenna away from the unit as well as from sources of RF emissions such as a television or computer. It should also be placed away from contact with any metal object. In areas where signals are weak, an out- door antenna may improve sound and reception quality. Connect the antenna making certain to also connect a ground wire to the GND termi- nals.
