Troubleshooting Guide
The CCRadio2E will not turn on and none of the buttons work:
The Lock Switch, located on the right side of the radio between the
tuning and the volume knobs, is in the up position. Push the switch
down to release the lock and resume normal operation of the radio.
(Please see Lock Switch on page 16.)
The CCRadio2E comes on by itself or changes to a different
station while I’m listening:
The Timer has been set. The word TIMER will appear in the display if
the Timer is set. To cancel the Timer setting, press and hold the
Timer/Set button until you hear a short beep and the word TIMER
disappears from the display.
My radio shuts off after just a few seconds:
Low batteries can cause this situation. Replace them with a new set of
batteries. If the radio is operating on the power cord, check for solid
connections at the wall outlet and the back of the radio. Also make sure
there is power at the wall outlet.
Stations won’t hold in memory:
The memory button settings are being overwritten. When recalling a
station from memory, if you hold the memory button down too long it will
program the current station over your previously stored station. To recall
a station that has been stored in memory, always press and release the
button quickly. To program a new station into memory, tune to the
desired station and then press and hold the memory button for two
seconds until you hear a beep. Also, please see the section on Memory
Tuning on page 11.
The AM reception is poor inside of my building:
Many building materials have adverse effects on AM band listening.
Brick, concrete, stucco, and aluminum siding all have a tendency to
absorb or reflect the AM signal. Spanish tiles or metal roofs are also
culprits. To test your AM reception, put batteries in your radio and take it
outside of the building, especially at night. If your reception is notably
stronger outside than inside the building, an external AM antenna may
be necessary to bring the signal into the building. See the AM Tuning
and Listening Tips section on page 26 for a quick and easy antenna.
