then manual setting of the clock may result in only a temporary change of the time settings.

TIMER OPERATION

The E1 includes two programmable event timers allow- ing the receivers to turn ON or OFF at preset times. The timers may be used separately or together and may recall a currently displayed frequency, MEMORY channel, COUNTRY channel, or a combination of those. In addi- tion, programming only an OFF time provides a Sleep timer, and programming only an ON time provides a Wake timer.

Note that the timers, when activated, respond to the last displayed clock. Programming the timers is a three step process. Step one is to set the ON time, and step 2 is to assign the OFF time. Step three is to assign a MEMORY or COUNTRY channel to a timer.

SETTING TIMER ON/OFF TIMES

Enter the TIMERS menu by pressing the ‘MENU’ key to reach MAIN MENU, and then pressing the ‘5' key on the ‘Direct-Key- Input’ keypad. This brings up the TIMERS menu as shown below.

TIMERS

(1)Press ‘1' on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad. This will cause the menu numbers on the left to disappear and the ON time entry for TIMER 1 will turn to reverse video, as shown here: “TIMER 1 ON TIME 11:30“

(2)Key in the desired ON time for TIMER 1, ignoring the colon. For example, for an ON time of 18:41, press the following keys: ‘1', ‘8', ‘4', ‘1'. The TIMER 1 ON TIME curser will now show “18:41”.

(3)Press ‘STORE’ to save the TIMER 1 ON time in memory. You will hear a beep, the reverse video window will change to normal video, and the menu numbers will return.

To set the OFF time for TIMER 1, select item 2 from the menu by pressing ‘2' on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad and follow the same procedure as you used to set ON time.

SETTING A WAKE OR SLEEP TIMER

If you want a timer to act as a wake timer only, you would program an ON time and clear an OFF time. This will cause the receiver to turn on at the designated time and stay on until turned off manually.

If you want the timer to act as a sleep timer only, you would clear any existing ON time and program an OFF time. This will cause the receiver to turn off at a designated time and stay off until turned on manually.

To program only an off time, or only an on time, clear the unwanted time on the selected timer as follows:

(1)Select the timer ON time or OFF time to be cleared by pressing the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad key corresponding to the menu number of the desired timer ON time or OFF time. This will cause the menu numbers to disappear and a reverse video curser to appear on the selected timer ON time or OFF time.

(2)Press the ‘CLEAR/LOCK’ key on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad. This will cause the numbers in the reverse video curser to disappear. Only the colon will remain.

(3)Press ‘STORE’. This will cause the reverse video curser to disappear, a beep will be heard, the menu numbers will reappear, and the null time information will be stored in memory.

SETTING TIMER MEMORY CHANNELS

To set the memory channel on the E1 receiver which will be activated by TIMER 1, press ‘3' on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad, and then key in the number of the MEMORY or COUNTRY channel. For example, assume you want TIMER 1 to activate COUNTRY channel 1460.
