5BASIC RADIO OPERATIO
IMPORTANT INITIAL SET-UP
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 high-gain, 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 shut-off occurs. The number of minutes that you
last set are also used the next time the radio is turned on.

BASIC RADIO OPERATIO 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 set-up 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, 76-108MHz.
To make these changes please see the instructions titled SYSTEM SET
CODE TABLE, on pages 21-22.
TUNING IN STATIONS
Four Ways to Tune in Stations
Below, four ways to tune stations are described. They are Regular
Tuning, Auto-scan Tuning, Direct Frequency Entry and Fine Tuning.
1. REGULAR TU I G (also called manual tuning)
Quick, short presses of the Up/Hour-Down/Min. buttons (5,6)
enables tuning up or down frequency.
2. AUTO-SCA TU I G
Pressing the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (5,6) for just over 1
second enables automatic scan-tuning. The radio will then auto-
matically stop on the next station encountered. Use the Up/Hour
button to auto-scan upward in frequency and the Down/Min. button
to auto-scan downward in frequency.
2. Timer-Defeat 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 is
used.
VOLUME AND TONE CONTROLS
• The volume control (23), labeled VOLUME, is located on the right
side of the radio. To change the volume, rotate the volume control
knob.
• The tone control (22), on the right side of the radio is labeled
LOW/HI H. Use the position that you like best.
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 24-hour format clock.
If you prefer a 12 hour, AM/PM clock format, see the section titled
CHAN IN 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 ACTIVATIN AND DEACTIVATIN THE ALARM.
The alarm will wake you to the last radio station tuned, unless set for
Favorite Station Wake-Up (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/LI HT
button (see USIN THE SNOOZE FEATURE, below).
3. DIRECT FREQUE CY E TRY
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. FI E TU I G
The FINE TUNIN 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 ‘fine-tune’ stations to your liking,
or use it as you would a tuning knob.
7WORKI G WITH MEMORY
CLOCK A D ALARM FEATURES continued
To set the alarm:
1. Turn the radio off. The alarm clock digits (30) appear in the upper
right corner of the display.
2. Press/release the button labeled ‘Time Set’ twice. The alarm clock’s
digits flash in the display.
3. Within 5 seconds, set the hour using the Up/Hour button and the
minutes using the – button. Make sure that AM or PM (29) appear
in the display if your clock is set up in the 12 hr. AM/PM format.
4. Within 5 seconds of finishing, press the ‘Time Set’ button once or
just wait until the alarm digits stop flashing.
USING THE SNOOZE FEATURE
When the alarm activates and turns the radio on, the alarm activation
symbol (31) appears flashing in the display. While it is flashing,
press/release the SNOOZE/LI HT button (10). The radio will turn off
and then turn on again in 10 minutes. This process can be repeated
3 times.
ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE ALARM
The alarm is activated and deactivated by pressing the button
labeled ‘Alarm’ (9). When it is activated, the alarm activation symbol
(31) appears in the display. When this symbol is not in the display,
it is deactivated. Note that once the alarm turns the radio on, with
the alarm symbol flashing, except for the SNOOZE/LI HT button,
the radio’s controls will not function until the ON/OFF-TIMER button
is pressed.

ACCESSING WHAT IS STORED INTO MEMORY
There are three ways to access what has been stored into memory:
Direct Memory Access, Memory Search and Memory Auto-scan. These
three methods are described below. When the memory page and
memory preset numbers appear in the upper right corner of the display,
as it will in the descriptions below, the radio is in MEMORY ACCESS
MODE. This mode can be exited any time with a press/release of the
M.Scan/Page button (7).
Direct Memory Access
If you are already on the desired memory page, simply key- in the
memory number with the numeric keypad. For example, if the desired
radio station is in memory number 01, just press ‘0’, then ‘1’, and it
will go to memory 01.
If you first need to change memory pages, see the previous section,
SELECTIN /CHAN IN MEMORY PA ES.
Memory Search
Memory Search enables manual searching through the memories
within a memory page, as shown below:

SELECTING/CHANGING MEMORY PAGES
If you are not interested in changing memory pages and wish to
keep the original factory memory page setting, skip this section.
At the factory, the E100 is set up to access memory page 1 when
storing a frequency. You can leave this as-is or change to a different
memory page. We suggest learning first to store stations into
memory page 1 before changing to other pages. To do this, go to
the previous section, STORIN STATIONS INTO MEMORY. To change
to the memory page, follow the directions below.
1. Press/hold the M.Scan/Page button (7) for about 3 seconds. Then
release it. Note that the memory page (38) is flashing in the upper
right corner of the display.
2. Within 5 seconds select the desired page with the Up/Hour and
Down/Min. buttons (5,6). You will see the memory page change
with each press. When the page of your choice is reached, stop
pressing.
3. When finished, either press/release the M.Scan/Page button, or
wait about 3 seconds, causing the memory page to be entered.
The clock (34) will reappear in the display’s upper right corner.
