Getting Started
Using the FM and MW Antennas
EN
Installation
To ensure sufficient ventilation, keep the spacings
Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to
make sure both the FM and MW 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 MW
antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen
to MW stations. Rotate the MW loop antenna for
better reception.
