AERIALS

Telescopic aerial

for FM and SW reception.
• When the aerial base is completely retracted, the telescopic
aerial can be tilted and swivelled into the position giving
best reception.
• For SW reception, fully extend the aerial and position it
vertically.
– Due to the much better propagation conditions in the
evening and night hours with respect to daytime reception,
interferences may occur during these hours
• These interferences can be reduced by partially pushing in
the telescopic aerial.
Please note:
Touching the telescopic aerial will affect the FM and SW
reception quality.
Ferrite rod aerial
for MW and LW reception (built-in).
• Turn the unit around its vertical axis to find the position
giving best reception.
