Q If you have poor AM reception
Connect a 20 to 50 ft. (6 to 15-meter) insulated wire (not
supplied) to the AM antenna terminal in addition to the
AM loop antenna. Try to extend the wire outdoors and
keep it horizontal.
Connecting a ground wire
If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna,
ground it against lightning as shown in the illustration

connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Do not use the SIGNAL GND ih terminal for grounding the
receiver.
