ANTENNA SELECTION AND CONNECTION

Safety Alert
1. When you build an outdoor antenna, you must pay attention to personal
safety!
2. An outdoor antenna must be kept away from power lines! It must be
windproof, waterproof, and requires protection from lightning strikes.
3. During a thunderstorm, do not use an outdoor antenna! Disconnect the
outdoor antenna from the radio.
4. Do not use a gas pipeline or AC power outlet for grounding purposes.
1. Long Wave and Medium Wave antenna:
The S-8800 radio uses a built-in magnetic rod (ferrite) antenna to receive long wave
and medium wave signals. Since this ferrite antenna is directional, minimizing
interference and achieving the best reception for long wave and medium wave
signals requires repositioning of the radio. If necessary, you can connect an external
antenna to the "AM ANT." external antenna socket and a ground wire to the ground
(GND.) socket

to improve reception. Push the switch to "EXT ANT." position.
