If you have poor AM reception

Connect a 6 to 15-meter (20 to 50 ft.) 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.

Connecting a ground wire

If you connect the receiver to an outdoor aerial, ground it against lightning as shown in the illustration in the left column. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Where do I go next?

If you want to connect other components, go on to the next section. If you’re only planning to use the receiver to listen to the radio, go to “Speaker System Hookups” on page 7.
