Troubleshooting Guide

The best AM antenna made today for these buildings is the Twin Coil Ferrite® AM Antenna by C. Crane shown on page 22.

Poor reception on FM, Ham (VHF), or Weather band:

The CCRadio2 uses its telescopic, or “whip” antenna for FM, Ham (VHF), and the weather bands. To improve reception of these bands, fully extend the telescopic antenna. Reception of FM and weather broadcasts is normally improved with the antenna extended straight up. Note: The antenna must be fully extended to allow it to rotate. You can also try a piece of any type of insulated wire about 36" long. Remove about 1" of the insulation from one end of the wire. Wrap the bare wire around the telescopic antenna or use an alligator clip. Try various orien- tations of the wire and different heights of the telescopic antenna to obtain the strongest signal. If you want an antenna that is pre-made, we recommend the FM Reflect Antenna by C. Crane on page 22 for details.

Battery Power Level Indicator doesn’t show full charge when using

recharRechargeable battteriesries:will never show a full charge on your radioʼs display. The CCRadio2 is calibrated to read the charge of your Alkaline batteries, which is 1.5 volts at full charge. Rechargeable batteries, how- ever, are fully charged at just 1.25 volts, and so your radio will show a partial charge even if the rechargeable batteries have been fully charged.
