E100 OWNER’S MANUAL

5 BASIC RADIO OPERATION

IMPORTANT INITIAL SET-UP

1.Assure that the radio is unlocked, using the LOCK switch (24) on right side of the radio by pushing it down, to the OFF position. This switch can be used to lock the radio when it is not in use or when traveling. (Note that this does not deactivate the alarm feature).

2.Assure that the antenna gain switch (17), on the left side of the radio is in the high-gain, H, position.

TURNING THE E100 ON AND OFF

The E100 can be turned on by the two methods shown below. To turn it off, press the POWER/SLEEP button (3).

1.Battery Saver/Timer Method

Perform a quick, short press of the POWER/SLEEP button (3). This turns the radio on with 120 in the display and causes the radio to shut off automatically after 120 minutes. The sleep timer symbol, (35), also appears in the display. To change the automatic shut off time from 120 minutes to a time of your preference, use the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (5,6) immediately after turning on the radio. This allows selection of 1 – 120 minutes of playtime before automatic shut-off occurs. The number of minutes that you last set are also used the next time the radio is turned on.

2.Timer-Defeat Method

This method defeats the automatic 120 minute timer and causes the radio to stay on until deliberately turned off, until the batter- ies drain or indefinitely if used with an AC adaptor. Hold down the

POWER button for about 3 seconds, then release. Note that ‘120’ and the sleep timer symbol do not appear when this method is used.
