4. ANTENNA HF

This switch selects between the internal TELESCOPIC antenna and the external antenna connector when receiving LW, MW, or SW frequency ranges.

5. ANTENNA FM

This switch selects between the internal TELESCOPIC antenna and the external antenna connector when receiving the FM Broadcast band (76 - 90 MHz or 87 – 108 MHz).

6. EXT ANTENNA

This PAL type male input connector is designed for an unbalanced 50 to 75 ohm input connection that is encountered with coaxial feeds.

GETTING STARTED

7. DC IN 9 V

Connect the AC ADAPTER wall transformer output cable to this connector. The receiver requires 9 VDC power at approximately 1 Amp current. With external DC power applied, the internal batteries are not used.

8. EXT SPEAKER

This 1/8“ monophonic connector provides 1.25 to 3.0 watts audio output for an external 4 to 8 ohm speaker.

9. HEADPHONE

This connector accepts a 1/8" (3.175 mm) stereo/mono headphone connector. Stereo reception is possible only in the FM mode. All speaker outputs are automatically switched off when

(B)The SW band (1.8 - 30.0 MHz) frequencies are dis- played and entered in kHz or MHz, depending upon the user’s selection from item 5 of the RADIO SET- TINGS menu. A maximum of 7 digits may be entered. To make the menu selection, press the ‘MENU’ softkey once. Then press ‘Direct-Key-Input’ key ‘5'. Repeatedly pressing the ‘5' key toggles between kHz and MHz as the display and entry method for the SW band. Leave the reverse video entry 0on the desired display method. For example, line 5 on the menu should appear as follows for entry in kHz:

“ 5 SW BAND ENTRY kHz / MHz“.

After making this selection, press ‘Direct-Key-Input’ key ‘9' to exit the menu. Note that if kHz is selected from the menu, the display will show frequencies from 1.8 -

30.0MHz in Kilohertz, and entries should be made in

kHz.

enter the frequency after a slight delay.

(C)FM broadcast band enters and displays in MHz (megahertz) regardless of the RADIO SETTINGS menu setting. A maximum of 5 digits may be entered for FM.

Examples:

97.7 MHz

Press ‘9', ‘7', ‘.’, ‘7' ‘.’ ** 107.7 MHz

Press ‘1', ‘0', ‘7', ‘.’, ’7', ‘.’ ** OR Press ‘1', ‘0', ‘7', ‘.’, ‘7', ‘0' *

Attempting toetónenter a frequency outside the tuning

range of the E1 receiver will cause the ERROR annunciator to flash and an error beep to be heard. The receiver will then return to its previous settings.

GENERALetón OPERATING INFORMATION

The E1 receiver has been designed for ease of use. Please take a few moments to read through this section and familiarize yourself with general operating information. In this manual, the term AM stands for Amplitude Modulation, not the commercial AM broad- cast band of 530 - 1710 kilohertz. When referring to the commercial AM broadcast band, the term MW (medium wave) is used.

FIRST STEPS

Please refer to the front panel illustration on page 13 and set the controls as described below.

(1)

Install 4 "D" batteries or connect AC ADAPTER.

(2)

Fully extend the telescopic antenna and adjust to a

 

vertical position, or connect an external antenna to

 

the side panel EXT. ANTENNA jack. Set side panel

 

‘ANTENNA HF’ and/or ‘ANTENNA FM' switch(es) to

 

appropriate position(s) (INTERNAL or EXTERNAL).

(3) Press ‘POWER’ and adjust ‘VOLUME’ to a

DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

Direct entry of a desired frequency is possible using the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keys. While entering a frequency, if an incorrect frequency is entered, pressing the ‘CLEAR/LOCK’ key will clear the entry in progress and return the receiver to its previous settings. The second depression of the decimal (.) key acts as an ‘ENTER' and causes immediate response to the entered fre- quency. If you do not press the decimal (.) key a sec- ond time at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the frequency after a slight delay. Enter frequen- cy as follows:

(A)The LW and MW (AM broadcast) bands enter and display in kHz (Kilohertz). A maximum of 6 digits may be entered.

Examples:

700 KHz

Press ‘7', ’0' , ’0' , ’.’ ,’ .’ ** 1290.00 kHz

Press ‘1', ‘2', ‘9', ‘0', ‘.’, ‘0’, ‘0’ *

Example:

14,258.1 kHz

Press ‘1', ‘4', ‘2', ‘5', ‘8', ’.’, ‘1', ‘.’ ** OR Press ‘1', ‘4', ‘2', ‘5', ‘8', ‘.’, ‘1', ‘0' *

If MHz was selected from the menu all frequency entries should be made in MHz.

Example:

14.2581 MHz

Press ‘1', ‘4', ‘.’, ‘2', ‘5', ‘8', ‘1', ‘.’ ** OR Press ‘1', ‘4', ‘.’, ‘2', ‘5', ‘8', ‘1', ‘0' *

*When the maximum number of allowed digits is entered, the 7th digit acts as an enter key, and a sec- ond ‘.’ need not be entered

**The second depression of the ‘.’ key acts as an ‘ENTER’ and causes immediate response to the entered frequency. If you do not press the decimal ‘.’ a second time at the end, the receiver will automatically

Shortwave Band Designators

news, information and music, the E1 receiver per- mits entry of the ‘METER' band designator. In some cases, the worldwide broadcast station may not announce its exact operating frequency, but will announce the ’METER' band in which it is operating or to which band it will move to improve worldwide reception at a particular time of day. By entering this 'METER' band number, the receiver automatically tunes to the low frequency end of the corresponding ‘METER' band. The search for the new station location is thus limited to a particular smaller section of the entire shortwave band spectrum.

The Shortwave Band Designators and corresponding frequency ranges are as follows:

comfortable level.

(4)Select the desired band by pressing the ‘FM’, ‘SW’ or ‘MW/LW’ softkeys until the desired band is dis played on the front panel display. The selected band will be indicated by reverse video on the display. For example: “MW / LW “.

(5)Enter the desired frequency by using one of several methods as described in “DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY” or use the ‘TUNING’ knob to tune until the desired frequency is displayed.

*When the maximum number of allowed digits is entered, the decimal point will be automatically placed between the 1 kHz and .1 kHz digits and need not be entered.

**The second depression of the ‘.’ key acts as an ‘ENTER’ and causes immediate response to the entered frequency. If you do not press the decimal ‘.’ a second time at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the frequency after a slight delay.
