ICF-‐EX5MK2
External Antenna Connection
Inbound MW (Medium-‐Wave) broadcasts and Radio NIKKEI
For MW (Medium-‐Wave) reception, the orientation of the radio should be changed to
improve reception by the built-‐in ferrite antenna.
For Radio NIKKEI, vertically and fully extend the rod antenna to improve reception.
Under
noisy
conditions even with the AM SENS set to LOW, consider a grounded external
antenna connected to the terminal leads on the back of the receiver.
Unscrew connection.
Wrap wire around the connection.
Then securely tighten the screw & pull the line to check your connection.
1: Place Lead Wire as high as possible, such as an outdoor place.
P-‐2: Use copper for the Ground Wire and bury in the earth.
Note about the Ground Wire
:
The copper ground wire should be buried as deeply into the ground as possible
(commercial ground wire and a grounding rod are useful). Be careful not to bury the
Ground Wire near an underground gas pipe. Flammable gas is dangerous.
