Getting Started

1) Position the radio on a soft surface

face down, with the bottom of

the radio facing you.

2) On the battery compartment arrow

marked “OPEN”, use two fingers to

press down and towards you until

the cover slides off.

3) nsert four “D” batteries as shown

in the diagram inside the battery

compartment. Notice that the fourth battery is inserted between the

second and third batteries for easiest insertion. Be sure that the “+”

polarity mark on the batteries point to the right.

4) Replace the battery compartment door by sliding it towards the top

of the radio.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

31 2

Note: When the batteries are very low you may notice a decrease in

volume or radio operation has become irregular. Test the radio by using

the AC power adapter to confirm that low batteries are the problem.

Important: Since batteries have been known to sometimes leak, we

recommend removing the batteries when not in use for more than 30

days or if the radio is primarily used with the AC power adapter.

Troubleshooting Guide

The CCRadio-EP will not turn on:

1. Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly.

2. Make sure all batteries are good.

3. f using the AC Adapter, make sure that it is plugged fully into the

power jack.

The CCRadio-EP has poor reception on FM:

1. Fully extend and rotate the FM whip antenna.

2. Adjust the band switch to “FM” instead of “FM ST” which requires a

better signal.

3. Check the “EXT/ N ANTENNA” switch on the back of the radio for

the proper setting.

4. Consider trying a more powerful external FM antenna like C. Craneʼs

FM Reflect Antenna.

The CCRadio-EP has poor reception on AM:

1. Rotate the radio for the best reception.

2. Try positioning the TW N CO L FERR TE®AM F NE TUN NG Knob

in the “Normal” position. f the reception still needs improvement,

adjust the knob for best station tuning accuracy.

3. Adjust the MUS C-VO CE switch to VO CE for best AM audio clarity.

4. Move the radio away from electronic devices like computers and TV

sets.

5. Use the radio on batteries. Sometimes interference can be transmit-

ted to the radio over the AC power lines.

6. Concrete, brick, and metal buildings can greatly reduce radio recep-

tion. Try the radio outside. f the reception is improved, add an exter-

nal AM antenna like C. Craneʼs Twin Coil Ferrite®AM Antenna.
