Thank you for purchasing the CCRadio 2E. Please read through these
instructions thoroughly before using the product.
With the new CCRadio-2 Enhanced version, audio can be accurately
tuned for realistic human voices. It can also be adjusted for good
musical performance. Traditional FM reception is also a full step up in
its ability to bring in a weak station clearly.
The CCRadio-2E Enhanced also has the Weather band/Alert along the
2-meter Ham band. Five memory buttons on top of the radio makes it
easier to change stations rather than front mounted buttons. The
CCRadio2E has many of the refinements and improvements requested
by customers who have bought other CCRadios. The CCRadio 2E is
built for the highest performance ever on AM and has been designed to
be long lasting.
You’ll notice that we removed the television (TV) band from the radio.
This change was necessary because of the new government mandated
digital format set for February of 2009. We have replaced the TV band
with the 2-Meter VHF Ham band. For many radio listeners the addition
of the 2-Meter VHF Ham band will be their first 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 different.
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 com-
munication with federal agencies and the Red Cross. We recommend
that you find out which local 2-Meter frequencies are used during an
emergency in your area and have them installed into the five memory
locations.
We hope the CCRadio2E 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 ccradio.com. You can find many questions
answered at ccradio.com/faqs/ccradio2E
Also, If you have a problem and you purchased the CC Radio 2E from
another company, call us and C. Crane may be able to help you faster.
Thanks! From all of us at C. Crane

The CCRadio2E will run on (4) “D” size NiMH or alkaline batteries or on
120V AC house current using the included power cord. Batteries are
optional. The batteries are necessary to retain the timer, clock, and
memory settings if the power cord is removed from the radio for more
than three minutes.
Rechargeable batteries work well in this radio. The Battery Power Level
Indicator will be lower because the total voltage is lower for recharge-
able batteries.
Before powering your radio be sure to read
the Safety Instructions on pages 27 and 28.
Before you plug the AC cord into the radio be sure the AC voltage is
120Volts/60Hz. If you have batteries in the radio and you use the AC
power cord, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.
NOTE: If you remove the power cord without turning the radio OFF, the
radio will automatically revert to the batteries.
Insert the plug on the end of
the supplied power cord into
the AC power jack on the
back of the radio.

Radio Operation
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 off 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 Band button until WX shows on the display. The telescopic
whip antenna may need to be fully extended and in the “up” 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.
After locating and tuning in your weather station the radio can now be
placed into WEATHER ALERT mode. The WEATHER ALERT mode
enables you to listen to your favorite AM or FM station or turn the radio
off, 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 off.
2) Be aware that if you are not using AC power the WEATHER
A ERT will completely drain your batteries. If your batteries are
dead and AC power is off, 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 13 (top right), on the
display. When the radio is off, the beep volume is significantly reduced.
WEATHER A ERT SYSTEM
Manual_ccradio2E_Linear-HQ-R2_1_ccrane 2/14/14 9:20 AM Page 12

CCRadio2E Page 13
Radio Operation
This is WEATHER ALERT mode with flashing light
only (no Alarm). If NOAA issues a weather related
emergency, the radio will automatically alert you with
a small flashing light near the top of the radio. The Alert light
continues to flash 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. The symbol shown at
right will be displayed in this mode. In this mode,
if the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light
flashes and the radio switches to Weather Audio automatically.
3) To access the third mode, (WEATHER ALERT with flashing light and
siren) . Press and hold the WEATHER ALERT
Button again for two seconds until you hear a
double beep. The symbol shown at right, 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 flashes 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.
SPECIA NOTE: If you have the headphones plugged in and a weather
alert is issued, the audio to the headphones will be cut-off and the siren
will sound through the radio’s speaker.
Press the WEATHER ALERT Button again for two seconds:
The alarm goes off and is 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 off. After an alert has
been issued, the WEATHER ALERT light and/or siren will stay on for
one minute or until you turn it off by pressing any button.

Radio Operation
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 first experience with Ham radio.
We have preprogrammed some of the most popular frequencies into the
five memories of the CCRadio2E. Different 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 five 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 SQUE CH
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 one second 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
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 search-
ing the entire 2-Meter Ham band until it finds 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 find 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 find 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 arr .org to find out what
you need to learn and the nearest testing location.

Radio Operation
The Lock switch can be used when transport-
ing the radio to prevent accidentally turning it
on. When the switch is pushed up you will see
the Lock symbol appear on the display.
It can also be used to disable all functions of
the radio when it is turned on. Push the
switch down to release the lock for
normal operation.
You can use a stereo or mono headphone with a 3.5
mm plug. When you insert the headphone plug, the speaker is discon-
nected. This radio delivers FM in stereo through the headphones.
Once in a while glitches may occur on any portable digital radio. This
can be caused by static electricity, unusual key strokes or a power dis-
ruption. If this happens, use the end of a paper clip or ball point pen and
push it into the hole briefly to reset the radio. You will lose the clock
time and all the stations stored in memory when the radio is reset.

Radio Operation
The jacks on the back left side of the radio are for audio input (AUX IN),
audio output (LINE OUT) and a timer activation switch .
AUDIO & RECORDING JACKS
AUX IN Jack
The green jack, labeled AUX IN, is used to connect an external audio
source such as a CD Player or recorder, so you can listen through your
CCRadio2E’s speaker. To do this, you will need the appropriate patch
cord. (Refer to page 22 for patch cord specifications).
Warning: If a “ INE OUT” is not available on your external audio
source, you can use the headphone jack. However, the volume
must be kept low or damage to the CCRadio2E may result.
1) Plug your patch cord into the LINE OUT or Headphone Jack of your
external audio source.
2) Plug the other end into the AUX IN jack on the CCRadio2E.
3) With the power on, press and hold the Band/AUX Button until you
hear a short beep and AUX appears on the display.
4) Turn on your external audio source to hear the audio played
through the CCRadio2E.
5) To turn the AUX off, press the Band/AUX Button again and the AUX
will disappear from the display.
NOTE: Volume can be controlled from the CCRadio2E.

Radio Operation
INE OUT Jack
The red jack, labeled LINE OUT, is used to output the audio from the
CCRadio2E to another device such as a recorder, your home stereo, or
some other unit. To do this, you will need an 1/8" stereo patch cord.
Note: The LINE OUT jack differs from a headphone jack because the
volume level of a headphone jack varies depending on the volume of
the radio. The LINE OUT jack has a set line level so the volume is con-
sistent no matter what the position of the volume knob.
1) Plug your patch cord into the LINE OUT jack on the CCRadio 2E.
2) Plug the other end of the patch cord into the LINE IN or AUDIO IN
of the device you want to send the audio to and you will hear the
radio through the other source. You can still listen to the
CCRadio2E while using the LINE OUT jack.
Timer Activation Switch
The black jack labeled with this symbol is for use with a recorder
that has a timer activated switch. You would use this switch if you want-
ed to do a timed recording. It is used in conjunction with the LINE OUT
jack. See your recorder’s instructions to determine if this function will
work with your recorder.
SETTING THE TIMER
Please read this entire section carefully before you start. You must
go through the 3 steps listed below without stopping. If you stop
for more than 15 seconds, press and hold the Timer Button until
you hear a single beep. Then start at step one again.
Before you begin, program the stations that you will want to record into
memory. Refer to page 11 for instructions on programming memory pre-
sets. The timer has an ON TIME and an OFF TIME. You must set
both in order for the timer to work correctly.
STEP 1: TOSET THE ON TIME
1) Press and hold the Timer/Set Button until you hear a beep and see
the word ON, the hour digit and TIMER flash on the display.
