Troubleshooting Terk Tower Powered Indoor Radio Antenna

Troubleshooting the Terk Tower AM/FM Amplified Stereo Antenna
Problem	Solution(s)
Why won't the antenna work with my boom box?	You can only use a Terk antenna on a system where there is an input for an external antenna. Some portable boom box radios do not have such an input.
Why does the antenna work better when I touch it?	When you touch the antenna, and your feet are touching the ground, you are acting as a giant antenna. You can only accurately judge how the antenna is working when you let it go.
Why isn't the antenna improving my stereo reception properly?	All Antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields. To maximize performance, position your antenna away from direct contact with receivers, tuners, CD players, TVs and computers. Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs and computers are turned off. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects. Placing the antenna near a window often provides the best results. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be null points or dead spots where no radio signal can be received. This may also occur in metal-frame buildings and houses with aluminum siding. In this case, simply move your antenna, trying different locations, until the best reception is achieved. In weak signal areas, optimum tuning is achieved with your receiver's scan button in the off position.
