NOTE

0For best results with the supplied indoor antenna, orient the antenna along a wall such that it is stretched out horizontally and parallel to the floor (but above the floor), and then fasten the two end tabs to the wall. This type of antenna is directional and best results will be obtained when it is correctly oriented toward the transmitting location.

0For example, if the transmission tower is to the north, then the two ends of the antenna (with the tabs) should be stretched toward west and east.

0Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously.

0If you are unable to receive a good broadcast signal, we recommend installing an outdoor antenna. For details, inquire at the retail store where you purchased the unit.
