Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest sig- nal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position in which you receive the clearest sound. Locate it as far away as possible from the
