• Some noise or spurious may be received when the inter-

nal bar or earphone cable is used for antenna.

• The supplied or third party’s antenna MUST BE con-

nected to the antenna connector to receive signals other

than AM or FM broadcast bands.

• When receiving an AM broadcast signal with internal bar

antenna, aim the receiver to better audio direction.

• When the internal bar or earphone cable is used for an- tenna, the attenuator function cannot be used.
