WIRE-STYLE FM ANTENNA
(OPTIONAL/NOT INCLUDED/FM ONLY)
See Figure 3, page 13.
The radio has a connection point for a standard wire-style
antenna for improving indoor FM reception.
For best results, use a simple 1-meter (39.4 in.) length of
22 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. If the wire is insulated,
strip one end to expose at least 1/2 in. of the conductor.
To attach a wire-style antenna, loosen the single screw in
the center of the connector and insert the stripped end of
the antenna wire into one side of the connector. Tighten
the screw.
