Connecting antennas

The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see Connecting external antennas below.

AM loop antenna

Note

1 Assemble the stand as shown in the illustration.

fig. A fig. B fig. C

•Bend the stand in the direction indicated (fig. A).

•Clip the loop into the stand (fig. B).

•It’s possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall (fig. C). Before fixing, make sure that the reception is satisfactory.

2Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

3Press the AM LOOP antenna terminal tabs to open and insert one wire into each terminal.

4Release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

5Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best reception.

Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact with metal objects.

• The signal ground ( ) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety ground.

FM wire antenna

•Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω in the same way as the AM 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.

Connecting external antennas

To improve FM reception connect an external FM antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω.

75Ω coaxial cable
