What will I need?

• AM loop aerial (supplied) (1)

1Before assembling the supplied aerial, pull the lead wire out from the slot in the aerial frame.

2Unwrap 3 lengths of the braided lead wire from around the frame of the aerial. Be careful to unwrap only the braided section of the lead wire. Do not unwrap more than 3 lengths of the lead wire. Also, be careful not to unbraid the lead wire.

zFor stations that are difficult to receive

Try repositioning the loop aerial while tuning. Placing the supplied AM loop aerial near a window will help improve reception quality.

zFor best AM reception

Connect a 6 to 15-meter insulated wire (not supplied) to the AM aerial terminal in addition to the AM loop aerial. Try to extend the wire outdoors and keep it horizontal.

Do not disconnect the AM loop aerial.

Connecting a ground wire

If you connect an outdoor aerial, be sure to connect a ground wire (not supplied) to the AM ANTENNA y terminal (in addition to the AM loop aerial) for lightning protection.
