Getting Started
Connecting the AM Antenna
Rear Panel of the Center Unit (CA-FSX3)
AM loop antenna (Supplied)
Attach the AM loop to its base by snapping the tabs on
the loop into the slot in the base.
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
