E10 OWNER’S MANUAL
USING THE LIGHT
A quick, short press/release of the SNOOZE/LIGHT
button (7), located on the front of the radio’s upper
right corner, will turn on the display light, shining
from the left side of the display, for about 5 sec-
onds. A longer press/release of the button (about
3 seconds) will cause it to stay on indefinitely
(note that this will decrease battery life). Turn off
the light with a quick short press of the button.
The E10 has a ‘timed backlight’ feature. When this
feature is activated, pressing any key during the
hours of 6 pm to 7 am activates the backlight for 3
seconds. Follow the instructions below to turn this
feature on or off.
1. Turn on the radio.
2. Press/release the ‘ENTER/SYSTEM SET button.
3. Press/release the LIGHT/SNOOZE button.
The display shows either ON or OFF, depending
on its last state.
USING THE ANTENNA GAIN SWITCH
The Antenna Gain switch (23) has three positions,
DX, NORMAL and LOCAL. This switch should
normally be in the DX position, providing maximum
receiving performance. If the AM or Shortwave
station that you are listening to is overwhelmingly
powerful and causes distortion, try the NORMAL
or LOCAL position. This switch is not used for FM
stations.
USING THE ANTENNA
TRIMMER CONTROL
This control knob, labeled ANT TRIM and located
on the right side of the E10, enables optimization
of the E10’s telescopic antenna when listening to
shortwave. While listening to the station, adjust
the knob for best reception.
USING THE LOCK BUTTON
Pressing the LOCK button causes all button-acti-
vated controls to be ‘locked’ and the lock symbol
appears in the lower right corner of the dis-
play. A quick, short press engages the LOCK feature. A
longer press disengages it and the symbol disappears.
This is an excellent feature to use when traveling,
as it keeps the radio from being accidentally turned
on. Before placing the radio into a suitcase, purse or
briefcase, turn it off and then lock it. This control does
not disengage timer functions.
USING THE EXTERNAL
ANTENNA SOCKET
The external antenna socket is used to improve
shortwave or FM performance. There are many such
antennas on the market today. Typing in ‘shortwave
antennas’ or ‘FM antennas’ on your favorite Internet
search site will provide further information
