materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. During this

Q:

My TERK antenna does not work with my boom box. What can I do?  

A:

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.

Q:

Can I extend the wire on my FM antenna to place it on a window sill or
somewhere away from my receiver?  

A:

You can extend the wire with RG-59 cable and a two-way “F” connector.
These items are available at any electronics store.

Q:

When I touch the antenna, it works better. How come?

A:

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.
