1Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

2Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

3Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. b).

•If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

4Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction giving the best reception.

5Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
