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 acceptable
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 antennas should be located away from possible
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well
away from power lines and other high voltage equipment.
• Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local
regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.
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 it horizontally above a window.
Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.
