Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper use and maintenance of your new Telescopic FM Radio Antenna. This antenna is designed to enhance FM radio signal reception for compatible portable radios and mobile phones equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack. Please read this manual carefully before use.
Safety Warnings
- Avoid Heat & Water: Do not expose the antenna to high temperatures or water.
- Do Not Disassemble: Do not attempt to disassemble the antenna. Disassembly by non-professionals may cause damage and void any potential support.
Setup
- Identify the 3.5mm Socket: Locate the 3.5mm audio jack on your portable radio or mobile phone. This is typically the headphone jack.
- Insert the Antenna: Carefully insert the 3.5mm plug of the antenna into the device's 3.5mm socket. Ensure a snug fit.
- Extend the Antenna: Gently extend the telescopic rod of the antenna to its full length for optimal reception.
Operating Instructions
- Once the antenna is connected and extended, turn on your radio or mobile phone's FM radio function.
- Adjust the position and orientation of the antenna to find the best signal reception for your desired station.
- For optimal performance, ensure the antenna is fully extended and not obstructed by other objects.

Maintenance
- Keep the antenna clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
- Avoid bending or forcing the telescopic rod, as this can damage the mechanism.
- When not in use, retract the antenna fully to protect it from damage.
Troubleshooting
Poor Signal Reception
- Ensure the antenna is fully extended.
- Try repositioning the antenna and your device. Sometimes a slight change in angle or location can significantly improve reception.
- Check for obstructions (walls, large metal objects) that might be blocking the signal.
- Verify that the 3.5mm plug is securely inserted into the device's socket.
Loose Connection
- If the jack feels loose, gently rotate it while inserted to see if it improves contact.
- Ensure the device's 3.5mm socket is clean and free of debris.
- Note that some devices may have slightly different jack tolerances, leading to a less secure fit.
