Setup Guide
Follow these steps to connect your deleyCON Dipole Wire Antenna to your audio system:
- Identify the FM Antenna Input: Locate the 75 Ohm coaxial FM antenna input on the back of your HiFi receiver, stereo system, or FM tuner. This input is typically labeled "FM ANT", "ANTENNA", or "75 Ohm FM".
- Connect the Antenna: Insert the coaxial connector of the deleyCON antenna into the corresponding FM antenna input on your audio device. Ensure a snug fit. If your device has a different type of input, use the provided adapter if necessary.
- Position the Antenna: Extend the dipole arms of the antenna into a "T" shape. For optimal reception, try to position the antenna as high as possible and away from large metal objects or electronic devices that may cause interference. You can use tape or small nails (through the pre-drilled holes at the ends of the dipole arms) to secure it to a wall or furniture.
- Test Reception: Turn on your audio system and tune to your desired FM radio station. Adjust the position and orientation of the antenna slightly to achieve the clearest signal and best sound quality.

Operating Your Antenna
Once connected, the deleyCON Dipole Wire Antenna operates passively, requiring no external power. The key to optimal performance lies in its placement:
- Experiment with Placement: Radio signals can be affected by building materials, nearby electronics, and geographical features. Try different locations in your room to find the spot with the strongest and clearest signal.
- Orientation: The "T" shape of the dipole antenna is directional. Rotating or slightly angling the antenna can significantly improve reception for specific stations.
- Height: Generally, placing the antenna higher up (e.g., near a window or high on a wall) can lead to better reception, as it reduces obstructions.

Care and Maintenance
The deleyCON Dipole Wire Antenna requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the antenna gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Storage: If storing the antenna, coil it loosely to prevent kinks or damage to the wire. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid Damage: Do not bend the wire sharply or expose it to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your antenna, consider the following:
- Poor Reception/Static:
- Ensure the antenna is securely connected to the FM input.
- Adjust the antenna's position and orientation. Try moving it closer to a window or higher up.
- Move the antenna away from other electronic devices (TVs, computers, Wi-Fi routers) that might cause interference.
- Check if the issue occurs on all stations or just specific ones. Some stations may have weaker signals in your area.
- No Signal:
- Verify that your audio system is set to the correct input source (e.g., FM tuner mode).
- Confirm that the antenna cable is not damaged.
- Ensure the adapter (if used) is correctly attached and functional.
