internal antenna switch in the back of your radio to internal antenna
position (i.e. INT. FM ANTENNA). As for external antenna, you
can use to improve FM reception. Two types of antenna can be
used. You can connect the supplied FM wire antenna to the F-type
antenna terminal and adjust the wire for best reception.
You can also connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable of outdoor antenna
to the terminal. Make sure to switch external/internal antenna
switch to external position while using the supplied wire antenna
or connecting the outdoor antenna. In some of the European
countries, you may have to connect the supplied antenna terminal
adaptor to connect with the outdoor antenna.
