    5BASIC RADIO OPERATION
    IMPORTANT INITIAL SETUP 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 highgain, 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 shutoff occurs. The number of minutes that you
    last set are also used the next time the radio is turned on.

    BASIC RADIO OPERATION continued
    SETTING UP AM AND FM OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA You can skip this section if you are in North America and just purchased
    the E100. It is already setup in the factory for use in North America.
    If you travel to other world regions, make the changes below as necessary.
    Outside of North America, AM stations (MW in the E100’s display) are
    spaced in 9 KHz tuning steps. The FM frequency range may be different
    from that used in North America, e.g. like that used in Japan, 76108MHz.
    To make these changes please see the instructions titled SYSTEM SET
    CODE TABLE, on pages 2122.
    TUNING IN STATIONS Four Ways to Tune in Stations Below, four ways to tune stations are described. They are Regular
    Tuning, Autoscan Tuning, Direct Frequency Entry and Fine Tuning.
    1. REGULAR TUNING (also called manual tuning)Quick, short presses of the Up/HourDown/Min. buttons (5,6)
    enables tuning up or down frequency.
    2. AUTOSCAN TUNINGPressing the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (5,6) for just over 1
    second enables automatic scantuning. The radio will then auto
    matically stop on the next station encountered. Use the Up/Hour
    button to autoscan upward in frequency and the Down/Min. button
    to autoscan downward in frequency.
    2. TimerDefeat Method This method defeats the automatic 120 minute timer and causes
    the radio to stay on until deliberately turned off, until the batteries
    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 isused.
    SELECTING FM, AM OR SHORTWAVE After turning on the E100, pressing the button labeled ‘FM/MW/SW
    Band’ (11), allows selection of FM, AM and SW. Note that when the
    AM band is selected, the display shows MW, not AM. The frequency
    digits (36) appear in the lower portion of the display.. The local stations
    of the area that you are currently in will be heard on AM and FM.
    Shortwave stations from around the world will be heard on SW.

    SETTING THE CLOCK The factory has set the clock to function as a 24hour format clock.
    If you prefer a 12 hour, AM/PM clock format, see the section titled
    CHANGING THE CLOCK FROM 24 TO 12 HOUR FORMAT, on page 22.
    To set the clock:1. Turn the radio off. The clock digits appear in the lower part of the 
    display (43).
    2. Press/release the button labeled ‘Time Set’ (15). The clock’s digits 
    flash in the display.
    3. Within 5 seconds, set the hour using the Up/Hour button and the 
    minutes using the Down/Min. button. Make sure that AM or PM
    (32) appear in the display, to the left of the time, if your clock is
    set up in the 12 hr. AM/PM format.
    4. Within 5 seconds of finishing, press/release the ‘Time Set’ button 
    twice or just wait until the clock digits stop flashing.
    SETTING THE ALARM Set the alarm with the instructions below. Note that the alarm must
    be activated to function. After setting the alarm time, be sure to read
    the next section titled ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE ALARM.
    The alarm will wake you to the last radio station tuned, unless set for
    Favorite Station WakeUp (Use system set code 01. See page 21).
    When the alarm activates, it turns the radio on and the alarm activation
    symbol (31) appears flashing in the display. The radio will play for 30
    minutes, until you turn it off or until you press the SNOOZE/LIGHT
    button (see USING THE SNOOZE FEATURE, below).
    3. DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY When the desired frequency is known, it can be entered via the
    numeric keypad (14) and the ‘Enter’ button (13). First, make sure
    that the correct band is selected  AM, FM or SW.
    Most AM and Shortwave frequencies are designated in kilohertz
    (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz. All FM frequencies are designated
    in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz. To enter such frequencies:
    1. Press/release the ‘Enter’ (13) button.
    2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.
    Sometimes Shortwave frequencies are designated in megahertz
    (MHz). If you encounter such a shortwave frequency and it has less
    than three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15.10 MHz or 6.92
    MHz), then use the following method to enter it. However, if there
    are three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15110 MHz or 5.975
    MHz), use the method described previously.
    1. Press/release the ‘Enter’ (13) button.
    2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.
    3. Press/release the ‘Enter’ button again.
    4. FINE TUNING The FINE TUNING control (4) is located on the right side of the
    radio. It tunes in 1 Kilohertz steps in AM and Shortwave and .05
    Megahertz steps in FM. Use it to ‘finetune’ stations to your liking,
    or use it as you would a tuning knob.
