Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to  
make sure both the FM and AM antennas are  
positioned properly. Uncoil the FM antenna at  
the back of the unit, making sure it is fully  
extended (you may even want to tape it to the  
wall behind the unit if possible. The higher the  
better.) You’ll also need to connect the AM  
antenna loop to the back of the unit if you listen  
to AM stations. Rotate the AM loop antenna for  
better reception.
