How to strip the 75-ohm coaxial cable and connect it to the FM terminals
1. Strip back the outside covering of the 75-ohm coaxial cable to expose the braided metallic mesh about 13/16 inches (20 mm).
2. Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector, as shown in the illustration above.
3. Strip the insulation about 7/16 inches (10 mm) back from the central wire.
4. Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna.
Before attaching a 75-ohm coaxial cable (the kind
with a round wire going to an outside antenna),
disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
Extend the FM wire antenna horizontally.
AM Antenna Connections
Note:
Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of
the base to assemble the AM loop.
Turn the loop until you have
the best reception.
AM Loop Antenna
If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna
connected.)
