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.

4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface

and in a direction giving the best reception.

5 Connect 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.
