You can also use an optional RadioShack shortwave antenna kit, 
which makes an excellent outdoor AM antenna. Connect the outdoor 
AM antenna wire to the receiver’s 

AM ANTENNA

 terminal as shown.

FM Antennas

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the 

FM 300

 ANTENNA

 

terminal as shown then extend it.

For better FM reception, you can also use a rabbit-ear TV antenna 
(for indoor use only) or an outdoor VHF TV antenna. To connect the 
TV antenna to the receiver, you need a VHF/ UHF/FM splitter (not 
included). RadioShack stores carry a full line of quality antennas and 
antenna connection accessories.

Warning:

 To prevent injury, read and follow all cautions and 

warnings that accompany the outdoor antenna. Use 75-ohm coaxial 
cable to connect an outdoor antenna to the receiver.

For the best radio reception, use an outdoor antenna. Follow these 
steps to connect an outdoor FM antenna to the receiver using 75

 

coaxial cable.

Note:

 If your antenna has 300

 twin-lead cable, connect it to the 

FM 

300

 ANTENNA

 terminals.

1. Disconnect the supplied FM antenna from the receiver’s 

FM 

300

 ANTENNA

 terminal.

2. With a stripping tool, remove about 1

1

/

2

 inches of the 75

 

cable’s outer insulation to expose the cable’s shielding.

3. Fold back the shielding from the inner insulation.

4. Remove about 1 inch of the inner insulation from around the 

center wire.

5. Pull the shielding to one side. Connect the center wire to the 

receiver’s 

FM 75

 ANTENNA

 terminal. Twist the shielding to 

secure any loose wire strands, and connect it to the 

GND

 

ANTENNA

 terminal.

Caution:

 The cable’s shielding should only touch the 

GND

 

ANTENNA

 terminal.

Note:

 Grounding is not necessary for reception, but we recommend 

it for better FM reception and to avoid damage from lightning when 
you use an outdoor FM antenna. Use a separate piece of thick 
polyvinyl insulated wire to connect the 

GND ANTENNA

 terminal to 

an earth ground, such as a metal cold-water pipe.

Warning: 

Never connect a wire to a gas pipe for grounding since 

sparks might ignite the gas.
