Antennas

AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod

antenna eliminates the need for an
outside antenna for AM reception.
Rotating the unit slightly may improve
reception of distant AM stations.

FM Antenna - The power cord acts as
your FM antenna. The power cord
picks up moderate to strong stations
and eliminates the need for an external
antenna in most strong signal areas.
Be sure the power cord is stretched out
to its full length. Do not coil or bunch
the cord together. Changing position
of the power cord may improve
reception.

Slide the band switch on the side of
the unit to select between FM and AM
band.
