The AM band has a built-in ferrite rod antenna. The FM Antenna is built-in to the headphone wire so be sure to extend the headphone wire for best reception. You may find you can improve AM reception by rotating the set or bringing it closer to a window.

CASSETTE TAPE OPERATION TIPS

1. To maintain good operation, the head should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use. It is also recommended that the tape be kept away from excessive heat or cold.
