ADJUSTING THE
TELESCOPING
ANTENNA
For the best reception, adjust the tele-
scoping antenna for the desired band.
FM — Pull up the antenna base about
halfway then fully extend the antenna
and rotate it for the best reception.
LW and MW (AM) — Rotate the re-
ceiver. The receiver uses a built-in an-
tenna for these bands.
SW — Pull up the antenna base then
fully extend the antenna and point it
straight up.
CONNECTING AN
EXTERNAL ANTENNA
To improve SW/MW/LW reception,
you can connect an optional external
antenna (such as Cat. No. 20-181) di-
rectly to the
AM EXT ANT jack on the
left side of the receiver. This automati-
cally disconnects the receiver’s built-in
antenna.
Follow the antenna’s supplied instruc-
tions to connect it to the receiver.
