• one user manual

Connections

Back view

1. AM loop antenna jack

2. FM pigtail antenna

3. Speaker jacks

Using FM and AM antennas

Before you use your audio system,

you’ll want to make sure both

the FM and AM antennas are po­sitioned properly. Uncoil the FM

antenna at the back of the unit,
making sure it is fully extended

(you may even want to tape it to
the wall behind the unit if pos­sible, the higher the better).

You’ll also need to connect the AM

antenna loop to the back of the

unit if you listen to AM stations.
Rotate the AM loop antenna for
better reception.
