sion. After that time, the normal E1 display will be observed.

(1)Battery Condition Graph - This bar graph shows the relative charge of the batteries installed in the receiver. You will note that on the left, there is an “EMPTY” notation and on the right is a “FULL” notation. A fully charged set of batteries will pro- duce a graph reaching the “FULL” notation, and as the batteries discharge, the graph will extend only slightly passed the “EMPTY” notation.

(2)LOW BATT - If this flashing reversed video indicator is observed, the batteries are too low for satisfactory operation and must be replaced.

AC ADAPTER

Keep curtains and other flammable materials out of direct contact with the AC ADAPTER to avoid overheat- ing.

(5)Slide the battery to the right and continue in this manner until all four batteries are installed. Replace the inner door and close the outer door.

BATTERYetón OPERATION

The E1 receiver does not rely on the batteries for retention of memory channels. However, to insure that clocks are maintained following the loss of AC power

BATTERY CONDITION

Battery condition can be observed when the unit is turned on or if the ‘LIGHT’ button is pressed if no AC ADAPTER is connected to the receiver. W hen the POWER key is pressed, or when the ‘LIGHT’ button is pressed, a screen will be observed similar to the follow- ing illustration during the first two seconds after depres-

Note: Regardless of battery condition, neither items 1 or 2 above will be observed if the unit is connected to the AC ADAPTER. If the AC ADAPTER is not connected, the condition graph will only be observed upon power up or with depression of the ‘LIGHT’ button.

BATTERYetón INSTALLATION

The E1 receiver is also designed to operate from four "D” cell batteries (not supplied). NOTE: Check the

and battery removal, the receiver must first be connect- ed to a source of AC power or have batteries installed. Clock settings are maintained for a time period of

batteries periodically for leakage. IF UNIT IS TO BE STORED OR OTHERWISE NOT USED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, REMOVE THE BATTERIES TO PREVENT CORROSION AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE RECEIVER. Damage caused by battery acid leakage is not covered under the warranty.

(1)Position the receiver with the front panel towards you.

(2)Open the battery access door located at the lower left corner of the front panel. (Shown as #5 in the front panel drawing.)

(3)Inside you will find an additional door as shown in the following illustration.

approximately 10 minutes after all power is removed. New batteries should be installed before this time peri- od elapses or clock settings will be lost.

UNPACKING etón

Carefully remove the E1 receiver and included AC ADAPTER wall transformer from the shipping carton and examine them for evidence of damage. If any damage is noted, immediately contact the transportation company responsible for delivery, or return the unit to the dealer from whom it was purchased. Keep the shipping carton and all packing material for the transportation company to inspect. The original carton and packing material should be retained for repackaging should it be necessary to return the receiver. Inspect the packing material for any accessories or printed material before storing the box. Locate the retóngistration card, fill it out, and immedi-

ately return it to to insure registration and valida- tion of warranty.

LOCATION etón

For fixed locations, the E1 receiver should be oper- ated from the AC ADAPTER. Keep curtains and other flammable material away from direct contact with the A ADAPTER to avoid overheating the transformer which could result in failure or fire.

FIXED INSTALLATION

After unpacking the unit, connect the antenna system to the ‘EXT ANTENNA’ input, or select the INTERNAL anten- na and extend the build in telescopic antenna. Plug the Plug the AC ADAPTER into a source of AC power. Refer to the Figure 1 on page 12 for the diagram of a typical fixed installation.

PORTABLE OPERATION etón

For use in a portable environment, the E1 receiver is operated from four (4) internally mounted "D" cell bat- teries. These batteries are not supplied and must be installed prior to portable operation of the receiver. See BATTERY INSTALLATION section on page 9 of this manu- al. For longest battery life, alkaline batteries are recom- mended for this product. NOTE: REMOVE THE BAT-

TERIES IF THE RECEIVER IS TO BE STORED OR OTH- ERWISE NOT OPERATED FOR AN EXTENDEDetónPERI-

OD OF TIME TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE E1 DUE TO POSSIBLE BATTERYetón LEAKAGE OR CORRO-

SION EFFECTS. The E1 receiver does not rely on the batteries for retention of memory channels. If power is lost, clock settings are maintained for a period of approximately 10 minutes to allow time to install new batteries. As long as good batteries are installed in the unit, the clocks are maintained regardless of whether there is external power applied or not.

ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS

(Refetónr to Figure 1, page 12)

The E1 receiver incorporates side panel switches to select between the internal telescopic antenna and vari- ous types of external antennas. The built-in telescopic antenna is available for use on all bands. A PAL type antenna connector, also located on the left side panel, is provided for external antennas for LF, MW, SW (HF is used to designate these ranges) and FM bands. A PN
