For 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.
0
For 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.
0
Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously.
0
If 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.
