TIME DISPLAY
The E1 incorporates dual time clocks allowing two 24 hour clocks to be set and maintained. During loss of AC power, or during battery changing, clock operation is maintained for a period of approximately 10 min- utes, if the receiver has been connected to an AC power source or had the batteries installed. The two- event timer functions are also derived from the dis- played clock. Therefore the clocks must be set first for proper TIMER operation, and the clock selected for dis-

DESCRIPTION etón
The T.SCAN function of the E1 allows the user to mark numerous channels in the MEMORY, and/or COUNTRY, memories for selective scanning. Once the channels are marked, pressing the T.SCAN key when in MEMORY or COUNTRY mode will cause the unit to scan through each of the marked channels in that mode, and to stop on each one which has a signal strength greater than a predetermined level which the user determines by the setting of the SQUELCH knob. The user then has two options as to how the T.SCAN will proceed. It can remain on the marked channel as long as the signal level exceeds the SQUELCH setting, or it can remain on the channel for 5 seconds and then resume the scan regardless of signal level. The selec- tion of which of these options is chosen is made from the RADIO SETTINGS menu, item 2 by selecting either TIME or CARRIER. The T.SCAN function works on MEMORY and COUNTRY modes. It does not work on the VFO mode.
Therefore, if T.SCAN is enabled, the scan will proceed through marked channels in CATEGORY or FAVORITES mode, whichever is currently active when the ‘T.SCAN’ key is pressed, and will remain on each one for approximately five seconds, regardless of whether TIME or CARRIER is selected on the RADIO SETTINGS menu item 2.
MARKING CHANNELS FOR T.SCAN
This discussion assumes that the user has already pro- grammed numerous channels in MEMORY or COUN- TRY modes. Programming in MEMORY and COUNTRY modes is covered on pages 26 and 28 respectively.
(1)Select either MEMORY or COUNTRY mode. The choice will depend entirely on the user’s preference and the number of channels programmed in MEM- ORY or COUNTRY modes.
(2)Using the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key, scroll through the programmed MEMORY or COUNTRY channels until the reverse video curser is on the one you want to mark for scan.
(3)To mark the channel for T.SCAN, press the ‘TAG’ key. (Number 11 on the Front Panel Description
drawing on page 13.) You will hear a beep tone and see a “T” appear to the left of the channel number.
UNMARKING T.SCAN CHANNELS
(1)To exclude a marked channel from a T.SCAN, select that channel in MEMORY or COUNTRY modes
as described previously.
(2)With the reverse video curser on the selected chan- nel, simply press the ‘TAG’ key again. You will hear a beep tone and see the “T” disappear from the left of the selected channel number.
SELECTING THE SCAN STOP METHOD
(1)Press the ‘MENU’ softkey twice to bring up the RADIO SETTINGS menu.
(2)Note that item 2 on the RADIO SETTINGS menu reads: “2 SCAN STOP MODE TIME / CARRIER” OR “2 SCAN STOP MODE TIME / CARRIER”
(3)Repeatedly pressing the ‘2' key on the
(4)If “TIME” is chosen, the scan will stop on a channel that has a signal strength that exceeds the SQUELCH setting, will remain there for 5 seconds, and will resume scanning. If CARRIER is chosen, the scan will stop on a carrier that has a signal strength that exceeds the SQUELCH setting, and will remain there until the carrier strength drops below the squelch setting.
INITIATING AND STOPPING THE T.SCAN
(1)Once desired channels have been marked and the SCAN STOP method has been selected, the T.SCAN can be initiated by pressing the ‘T.SCAN’ key. This will initiate the scan and will cause the “MEMO- RY” or “CHANNEL” entry on their respective dis- plays to be replaced with “SCAN”
(2)To stop a T.SCAN, simply press the ‘T.SCAN’ key again. This will cause the scan to stop and the “MEMORY” or “COUNTRY” labels on their respec- tive displays to return, replacing “SCAN”.
play must be the same one (GMT or Local) for which the timers are programmed.
TIMER settings are stored in non volatile memory and are maintained regardless of how long power has been removed. When the receiver is in the ON state, the time is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the display, regardless of which menu or operating mode is selected. When the receiver is in the OFF state, the time is displayed prominently in the upper portion of the display, and if either timer is enabled, timer set- tings are displayed in the bottom portion of the display.
If the time in any menu or display is observed to be flashing on and off at one second intervals, this is an indication that the selected clock is not set.
Selecting between Local time and GMT time is accom- plished by pressing and releasing the ‘TIME’ key three times. This will bring up the CLOCKS menu, which allows the user to press the softkey along the right hand side of the display labeled GMT or LOCAL. When the receiver is in the OFF state, pressing the ‘TIME’ key will toggle between Local and GMT.
SETTINGetón 24 HOUR CLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY
The E1 has the capability of setting both the GMT and Local clocks automatically. To do this, the receivers must be operating from the AC ADAPTER.
Reception must bo form one of the five available WWV or WWVH National Institute of Standards and Technology stations with a good quality signal. These stations are located at 2500.0, 5000.0, 10,000.0, 15,000.0, and 20,000.0 kHz. In addition, several items on the CLOCK MODES menu must be set properly. To do this proceed as follows:
(1)With the receiver turned on, press the ‘MENU ‘ soft key which will activate the MAIN MENU. Then press the ‘4' key on the
(2)Item 1 on the CLOCK MODES menu reads: “AUTO CLOCK SET OFF / ON ”. You will note that either “ON” or “OFF” is shown in reverse video. Pressing ‘1' on the

of Daylight Savings Time at the transition date |
through WWV or WWVH requires a good signal |
and that the receiver be in the OFF state. |
(4) Item 3 on the menu reads: “LOCAL TIME OFFSET |
+”. This refers to whether or not your Local time is |
less than or greater than GMT. For example, the |
Western hemisphere is less than GMT and the |
Eastern hemisphere is greater. Therefore, if you |
lived in the Western hemisphere, you would use the |
‘3' key to toggle the curser to ‘- ‘
(5) Item 4 on the menu reads: “LOCAL TIME OFFSET 00:00 HOURS”. This refers to how much your Local time is offset from GMT. For example, in the Eastern USA, the time offset is 5:00 hours.
•To make this setting, press ‘4' on the

•Then press the ‘STORE’ key to store the entry. You will hear a beep, the menu item numbers will reap pear, and the reverse video curser will disappear.
•Press the ‘9' key to exit the menu and return to normal operation.
Note that on the E1, for the clocks to automatically set, the receiver must be receiving power through the AC Adapter and must be in the OFF state. The clocks will not set automatically when operating from batter- ies. While in the OFF state, it will search for the WWV or WWVH signal that is the strongest, and will then use it to set the clocks. Allow at least 15 minutes for the clocks to set. This could take considerably longer under weak signal conditions.
SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS MANUALLY If you are not in a location where adequate signal quality can be obtained on one of the WWV or WWVH signals, the Local and GMT clocks will need to
