cool down before reusing it 

(not available for

all versions).

Step 1:

Connecting FM / MW
antennas

– Place the MW loop antenna on a shelf or
attach it to a stand or wall.
– Extend the FM antenna and fix its ends to the
wall.
– Adjust the position of the antennas for
optimal reception.
– Position the antennas as far as possible from a
TV,  VCR or other radiation source to prevent
unwanted noise.
– For better FM stereo reception, connect
external FM antenna.
