Using the Antenna
Before you use your audio system, you'll want to
make sure the FM antenna is positioned properly.
Connect the FM antenna to FM ANT jack on the back
of the unit. Uncoil it, 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.)
For AM reception, you need to connect the AM loop
antenna. For better AM reception, rotate the AM
loop antenna.
