Helpful Hint
• To prevent unwanted noise,
keep the antenna as far away
as possible from the TV, VCR,
or any other radiation source.
• You can also use an outdoor
AM antenna (not supplied).
Use an insulated wire more
than 15 feet long. Strip one
end and connect it to the AM
jack. Then connect the GND
jack to a reliable ground.
