The
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals.
Press the lever, insert the end of the cord, then release the lever. Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord lightly. Make sure only the bare, stripped wire is inserted in the jack and that no plastic insulation is preventing contact between the antenna wire and terminal.
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.
<If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.
