About the CCRadio2E
Thank you for purchasing the CCRadio2E. Please read through these
instructions thoroughly before using the product.
The CCRadio2E has many of the renements and improvements
requested by customers who have used previous versions of our 4-band
CCRadios. This radio is built for the highest performance ever on AM.
Traditional FM reception is amazing in its ability to bring in a weak station
clearly. The CCRadio2E also has the NOAA Weather band & alert along
with the 2-Meter Ham band.
With the new CCRadio2E, the audio has been enhanced and can be
accurately tuned for realistic human voices. It can also be adjusted for
good musical performance. Five memory buttons on top of the radio makes
it easier to change stations rather than front mounted buttons.
For many radio listeners, the addition of the 2-Meter VHF Ham band will be
their rst experience with amateur (ham) radio. I hope you have the time to
explore this band. What you’ll hear is a lot of dedicated radio people using
a communication device with pride. You will especially want to tune in to
2-Meter VHF during a local, area wide emergency when communications
will be very di󰀨erent. When the power in an area is down and cell phones
and other modes of communication are unavailable, many hams use
portable equipment that lets them work as beacons of information. They
have direct communication with federal agencies and the Red Cross. We
recommend that you nd out which local 2-Meter frequencies are
used during an emergency in your area and have them installed into the
ve memory locations.
The CCRadio2E has been designed to be long lasting. We hope it will give
you many years of learning, news, and entertainment. If you have any
questions about your radio, please give us a call or check out ccrane.com.
Also, if you have a problem and you purchased the CCRadio2E from
another company, call us and C. Crane may be able to help you faster.
Thanks! From all of us at C. Crane.

Safety Instructions
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before the
radio is operated.
2) Retain Instructions: The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
3) Heed Warnings: All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
instructions should be followed.
4) Water and Moisture: The appliance should not be used near water. Do
not use near a bathtub, washbowl, laundry tub, kitchen sink, wet
basement, swimming pool, etc.
5) Cleaning: Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before clean ing.
Use only a dry cloth for cleaning the exterior of the receiver.
6) Placement: Do not place the radio on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or
table. The radio may fall, causing serious personal injury and dam age to
the receiver.
7) Ventilation: This radio should be situated so that its location or posi tion
do not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the radio should
not be used on a bed, sofa, rug or other soft surfaces that may block
the ventilation openings. It should not be placed in a built-in situation like
a cabinet that may reduce air ow through the ventilation openings.
8) Heat: Never put the radio in direct sunlight in an unventilated area or
behind glass like a car’s interior. The appliance should be away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances that produce heat.
9) Power Cords: The power cord should be positioned so it is not walked
on, pinched, or have items placed on top of it. Pay particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the unit. Unplug the power cord by gripping the power plug,
not the cord. Operate the radio using only the correct type of power
source indicated. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
10) Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords. This can result in a risk
of re or electrical shock. Never insert objects of any kind into the
receiver through openings. The objects may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts. This could cause a re or electrical shock.

Page 6 CCRadio2E
11) If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage caused by
lightning or power line surges.
12) If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
remove the batteries. The batteries may leak and damage furniture or
your radio.
13) Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself. Removing the cover
may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the warranty. Refer
all servicing to authorized service personnel.
14) The receiver is equipped with a polarized type plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will t into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to
t, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of this plug.
15) The appliance should be serviced by qualied service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the radio, or
C. The radio has been exposed to rain, or
D. The radio does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance, or
E. The radio has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
16) The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that
described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be
referred to qualied service personnel. This symbol is to alert you
to important operation or servicing instructions that may appear in the
owner’s manual.
17) Antenna installations can be dangerous because many times it
involves the use of a ladder and a possible fall. The antenna can be
struck by lightning, which can be fatal. We recommend a licensed and
insured installation by a qualied person.
18) Long-term exposure to loud sounds may cause hearing damage. It is
best to avoid high volume levels when using headphones or earbuds,
especially for extended periods.

CCRadio2E
WEATHER ALERT SYSTEM
The WEATHER ALERT modes on the CCRadio2E can alert you to special
weather related emergencies. During an emergency or weather related
hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that will set o󰀨 an audible and/or
visual alarm on the radio.
NOTE: Hazard warnings are not available in all areas.
There are seven standard NOAA weather channels used in the US and
Canada. This radio receives broadcasts up to 40 miles from transmitting
stations.
1) To listen to the standard NOAA weather channels, turn the radio on,
press the Weather Alert button until WX shows on the display. The
telescopic whip antenna may need to be fully extended and in a vertical
position to receive a station clearly.
2) The channel number of the weather station is shown on the display.
Pressing the Tuning Up or Down Buttons will toggle you through the
seven programmed channels. There should be one or more weather
service stations broadcasting in your local area. You will hear a report
that is updated usually once or more per day for your area. If there is
a severe weather or weather-related emergency, NOAA will update the
weather broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather emergency, the
NOAA will issue an alert tone.
The WEATHER ALERT mode enables you to listen to your favorite AM or
FM station, Auxiliary device, 2-Meter Ham frequencies or turn the radio o󰀨,
and still receive an alert signal warning you of a special emergency. There
are three active WEATHER ALERT modes on the CCRadio2E.
NOTE:
1) When activated, the WEATHER ALERT consumes power even when the
radio is turned o󰀨.
2) Be aware that if you are not using AC power the WEATHER ALERT
will completely drain your batteries. If your batteries are dead and
AC power is o󰀨, the WX Alert Alarm will not work.
SETTING THE WEATHER ALERT
1) To place the radio in WEATHER ALERT mode, press and hold the
Weather Alert button for two seconds: You will hear a short beep and
see the alert symbol, shown on page 16, on the display. When the radio
is o󰀨, the beep volume is signicantly reduced.
Radio Operation

Page 16 CCRadio2E
Radio Operation
This symbol is the WEATHER ALERT mode with ashing
light only (no Alarm). If NOAA issues a weather related emergency, the
radio will automatically alert you with a small ashing light near the top of
the radio. The Alert light will continue to ash until any button is pushed.
2) To access the second mode, (WEATHER ALERT with NOAA Audio).
Press and hold the Weather Alert button again for two seconds until
you hear a long beep. This symbol will be displayed in
this mode. In this mode, if the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light
ashes and the radio switches to Weather Audio automatically.
3) To access the third mode, (WEATHER ALERT with ashing light and
siren). Press and hold the Weather Alert button again for two seconds
until you hear a double beep. This symbol will
appear and the red light near the top radio comes on continuously.
In this mode, if the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light on the top of
the radio ashes and a siren turns on for up to 1 minute. In this mode,
when the siren is active, pressing any button on the radio instantly turns
the radio to the Weather Audio and cancels the siren.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you have the headphones plugged in and a weather
alert is issued, the audio to the headphones will be cut-o󰀨 and the siren
will sound through the radio’s speaker.
TURNING OFF THE WEATHER ALERT
Press the Weather Alert button again for two
seconds. The alarm will go o󰀨 and become
inactive. The ALERT symbol will disappear from
the display.
In any of the active WEATHER ALERT modes, the
weather receiver stays on and listens for an
emergency tone issued from NOAA in case of
emergency.
You may get a periodic test tone from the NOAA that will cause an
unexpected alarm on your CCRadio2E. This tone is only a test and will
happen periodically, usually every Wednesday at noon, or whenever the
agency decides to test their emergency alert system. Simply pressing any
button on the receiver will shut the alert tone o󰀨. After an alert has been
issued, the WEATHER ALERT light and/or siren will stay on for one minute
or until you turn it o󰀨 by pressing any button.

CCRadio2E
2-METER HAM (VHF) BAND (144 TO 148 MHZ)
The 2-Meter Ham Band is a popular radio band used by amateur radio
operators for civil defense. After a hurricane, earthquake or other calamity,
90% of emergency coordination at the local level takes place on this band.
Listening to this band during an emergency can be extremely valuable and
even life saving. For most people, the CCRadio2E will probably be their
rst experience with Ham radio.
We have preprogrammed some of the most popular frequencies into the
ve memories of the CCRadio2E. Di󰀨erent frequencies may be active at
your location, other than those preprogrammed into the memories. The
following are the frequencies and memory locations as they were originally
preprogrammed:
1) 146.520
2) 146.760
3) 146.880
4) 146.940
5) 147.000
You can program your frequencies of interest into a memory location at any
time.
To scan the ve memory channels when in 2-Meter Ham, momentarily
press both of the Up and Down Tuning Buttons at once, the radio
will scan the memories and automatically stop when it detects a voice
transmission. Raise the telescopic antenna up fully in a vertical position. It
is best to set the squelch level prior to scanning the memory stations. See
“Setting the Squelch” below.
SETTING THE SQUELCH
Background noise or static is present to some
degree at every location and on every frequency of the
2-Meter Ham Band. This is a normal con dition. If you set
the squelch above the background noise level, the radio
will remain silent until a voice
transmission is detected. It is best to set the squelch as low as possible
(to just before static is constant). This way you can hear signals that may
be weak. If you set the squelch too high, you may miss some weak voice
transmissions.
To adjust the squelch level, press and hold the main Tuning Knob in for
three seconds until the display changes. Turn the Tuning Knob slowly
clockwise from OFF through 12 (increasing squelch) until the radio just
becomes silent. NOTE: Squelch operates on the 2-Meter Ham Band only.
Radio Operation

Page 18 CCRadio2E
SEARCHING FOR A NEW ACTIVE FREQUENCY
At times, more frequencies will become active than have been
prepro grammed into the radio. You can search the 2-Meter Ham band by
pressing the Up or Down Tuning Button and holding it momentarily.
You can also start scanning by pressing and releasing the main Tuning
Knob. The radio will begin searching the entire 2-Meter Ham band until it
nds an active frequency and then it will stop. You may want to write down
this frequency to keep track of which frequencies are active. With time you
may nd a frequen cy of interest.
During non-emergency times, you can listen and learn more about the
Ham radio operators that live around you. After listening to them for a time,
you may nd you would like to be a Ham, too. Joining requires passing
an entry level multiple choice test and purchasing reasonably priced Ham
radio equipment. The 2-Meter band is the most popular place to start for a
Ham. You can contact the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) toll free
at 888-277-5289 or at arrl.org to nd out what you need to learn and the
nearest testing location.
C. Crane salutes every Ham who has volunteered to be a part of
emergency radio operations.
DEFAULT CLOCK/ FREQUENCY SETTING
When listening to AM and FM bands the default setting is for the
Frequency to be displayed for approximately 5 seconds and then return to
the Clock Display. This can be changed to show just the Frequency unless
the Clock/Freq button is pushed and then the clock will display for
approximately 5 seconds and then show the Frequency.
To change the display to show Frequency - turn on the power, and press
and hold the Clock/Freq button. Then quickly press the Memory 1 button
until you hear a beep. Release. You should now see the frequency
displayed unless you push the Clock/Freq button, in which case you will
see the clock for approximately 5 seconds.
Reverse the process to return to the default of showing the clock.
