Connecting Antennas
—Continued
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but accept-
able results can sometimes be obtained when
installed in an attic or loft.
•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situ-
ated well away from power lines and other high volt-
age equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-
ards.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and
TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If
circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter,
as shown.
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be
obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a win-
dow. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left con-
nected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
