Before assembling the supplied antenna, pull the
coaxial cable out from the slot in the antenna
frame.
Unwrap 4 lengths of the coaxial cable from
around the frame of the antenna. Be careful to
unwrap only the coaxial cable. Do not unwrap
more than 4 lengths of the coaxial cable.
Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM
terminals on the back of this unit. For best
reception, connect an insulated wire (not

Adjust the-antenna direction for the best
reception. The AM loop antenna has a directivity
which'detects the signal from some angles more
strongly than others. Set the antenna to the
orientation which provides the best receiving
condition.
For stations that are difficult to receive
Try repositioning the loop antenna while tuning.
Placing the supplied AM loop antenna near a window
will help improve reception quality.
For best AM reception
Connect a 20 to 48 foot (6 to 15 meter) insulated wire
(not supplied) to the AM antenna terminal in addition
to the AM loop antenna. Try to extend the wire
outdoors and keep it horizontal.
Do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.
