Connect the FM antenna
Dipole Antenna
1) The dipole antenna provides the best reception of the
three antennas when properly positioned. The dipole an-
tenna consists of an active section and a lead-in section (see
illustration on previous page).
2) Position the active section of the dipole antenna against
a wall or along a flat surface of a non-metallic piece of
furniture. Keep the active section of the dipole as straight as
possible. Use thumbtacks or brads to secure the ends and
the middle of the active section.
3) Connect the dipole antenna to the SoundWorks Radio
820HD by pushing the connector plug onto the FM an-
tenna input. You can coil excess length of the lead-in
section, then secure it with twist ties or tape.
Note:
The active section of the dipole antenna can be positioned
horizontally or vertically. Placing the dipole antenna on an
outside wall improves reception. The active section of the
dipole antenna can also be positioned along a baseboard.
Try a different placements and orientations of the active
section to determine the best overall reception.
