Troubleshooting Guide
Poor reception on Shortwave band:
Fully extend the whip antenna and adjust its orientation to obtain the strongest signal.
There are several bandwidth filters which can help to reduce interference. Select which one
sounds best by pressing the “BAND WIDTH” button. For even more reception, use an external
SW antenna, available at
www.ccrane.com
Battery Power Level Indicator doesn’t show full charge when using rechargeable batteries:
Rechargeable batteries will not show a full charge on your radios display. The CC Skywave is
calibrated to read the charge of your alkaline batteries, which is 1.5 volts at full charge.
Rechargeable batteries, however, are fully charged at just 1.25 volts, and so your radio will
show a partial charge even if the rechargeable batteries have been fully charged.
