Locating Your AM/FM Pi
For Best Results
1. All antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields.
To maximize performance, position your
AM/FM Pi
antenna away from direct contact with receivers,
tuners, CD players, TVs and computers.
Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs
and computers are turned off.
2. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects.
Placing the
AM/FM Pi
near a window often provides
the best results.
3. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be null
points or dead spots where no radio signal can be
received. This may also occur in metal-frame
buildings and houses with aluminum siding. In this
case, simply move your antenna, trying different
locations, until the best reception is achieved.
4. In weak signal areas, optimum tuning is achieved
with your receiver’s scan button in the off position.
5. For optimum AM results, position the ”AM Loop“
away from the FM portion of the antenna so that the
AM Loop is at a 90˚ angle from the FM antenna. The
LED will change from blue to purple. The AM portion
of the Pi is non-amplified.
