Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting the Antennas
In many cities, the supplied indoor AM loop and FM antennas provide adequate reception.
AM Antennas
Assemble the included antenna’s base by swinging the base in the direction of the arrow and inserting the antenna’s bottom tabs into the base’s slot. Then attach the antenna wires to the AM LOOP ANTENNA and GND terminals (bottom two terminals).
Place the antenna on a flat surface and rotate it for the best AM reception.
If the receiver is in a rack or on a shelf and there is no room for the AM loop antenna, use two screws (not supplied) to mount the base on the wall or another location as shown.
Notes:
• Keep the AM loop antenna connected even when you use another indoor antenna or an outdoor AM antenna.
• Ensure the antenna does not touch the receiver or other metal objects.

•Do not place the antenna near a CD player, a personal computer, or a TV set
•If the wire between your AM loop antenna and receiver is too short, you can add extra wire, available at your local RadioShack store.
You can also use a RadioShack shortwave antenna kit (Cat. No. 278- 758), which makes an excellent outdoor AM antenna.
Connect the outdoor AM antenna wire to the receiver’s AM terminal, as shown.

FM Antennas
Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω terminal and extend it as shown.
