Antenna information

MW - The MW rod antenna is located inside the casing. If MW reception is poor, you can move the radio until the internal antenna is receiving the best possible signal.

FM - The FM antenna cable is located at the rear of the case. Adjust the placement and direction of the antenna until you find a location with good reception.

Furniture protection

The product has rubber feet that prevent it from moving when the controls are used. The rubber feet are made of special rubber that will not leave marks or stains on the furniture. Some types of oil-based furniture polish, wood preservatives and cleaning spray can soften the rubber feet causing them to leave marks or rubber residue on the furniture. In order to prevent damage to furniture, we recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads in a hardware store or DIY store and put them under the rubber feet before placing the product on fine wooden furniture.
