Install the unit so that its AC power cord can be connected directly to a wall outlet. Do not use a converter or extension cord.

Install the unit as far from sources of noise (refrigerator, microwave oven, fluorescent lamp).

The unit has a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM radio reception. Confirm that AM reception is acceptable before finally attaching the unit.

Improving the reception

FM: Extend the AC power cord fully to improve FM reception.

AM: When installing the unit, rotate the unit horizontally for optimum reception and then install the unit. A ferrite bar antenna is built
into the unit.
