Connecting Antenna
This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect com-
mercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
Once your CR-L5 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune
into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the
FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar
to fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution:
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor
FM antenna instead (see page 15).
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor
use only.
1
Assemble the AM loop antenna,
inserting the tabs into the base, as
shown.
2
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they
can be connected either way around.)
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that
the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the
insulation.
Once your CR-L5 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune
into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the
AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your
CR-L5, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially
available outdoor AM antenna (see page 15).
