4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your Bingfu FM Antenna:

1. Identify Your Receiver's FM Antenna Input: Locate the FM antenna input on the back of your stereo receiver or music system. This is typically labeled "FM ANTENNA," "FM 75Ω UNBAL," or similar.
2. Select the Correct Adapter:
   • If your receiver has a standard F-Type coaxial input (threaded connector), you may not need an adapter.
   • If your receiver has a push-on TV Female Socket, use the TV Female Socket Connector Adapter.
   • If your receiver has a 3.5mm audio jack for the antenna, use the 3.5mm Audio Plug Connector Adapter.
   • If your receiver has a TV Male Plug input, use the TV Male Plug Connector Adapter.
3. Connect the Antenna:

   Attach the main F-Type connector of the antenna directly to your receiver or to the selected adapter, then connect the adapter to your receiver's FM antenna input.

4. Position the Antenna: Extend the antenna wire fully. 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. Experiment with different orientations and locations to find the best signal strength for your desired FM stations. The small loop at the end of the antenna cable can be used to hang it on a wall or other suitable surface.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the antenna is connected, operate your FM radio or receiver as usual. Tune to your desired FM stations. If reception is poor, adjust the antenna's position and orientation. The goal is to maximize signal strength and clarity for each station.

Tips for Optimal Reception:

• Experiment with Placement: FM signals can be affected by building materials, terrain, and other electronic devices. Try placing the antenna near a window or higher up in the room.
• Avoid Obstructions: Keep the antenna away from large metal objects, concrete walls, and other electronics that might block or interfere with the signal.
• Fine-tune Orientation: Slightly adjust the direction of the antenna wire while listening to a station to find the clearest signal.
