5 GETTING STARTED

WHAT THE E10 INCLUDES

• Earbud style earphones

• Carrying pouch

• AC adaptor/charger

• 4 - 1100 mAh, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

• Owner’s manual

NOTE: In the instructions below, numbers in parenthesis ( ), refer to the diagrams.

CHARGING BATTERIES IN THE E10

The E10 will play using whatever type of AA batteries are in the battery compartment, but only nickelmetal-hydride batteries can be charged within it. If non-rechargeable batteries are installed, the E10 has a built-in safeguard system that will prevent them from being charged. This safeguard system works with the E10 set to either SYSTEM SET CODE 28 or

29, as described below, and only with the included AC

Adaptor/Charger.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

The battery compartment is located on the back of the E10. Its cover is on the lower right corner of the back. To remove the battery compartment cover, apply thumb pressure and slide it towards the bottom of the radio. Install 4 AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, observing the battery polarity diagram on the back of the radio.

WARNING: Use only the included AC Adaptor/Charger to recharge Ni-MH batteries. Use of any other device may cause the rechargeable batteries to overheat, become damaged and possibly damage the E10.

The built-in safeguard system, described above, works only with the included AC Adaptor/Charger. Damage caused to the E10 resulting from failure to observe this warning is not covered by the warranty and voids the warranty.

NOTE: If you don’t plan to use rechargeable batteries at all, then it’s a good idea to set SYSTEM SET

CODE 29. To do this, see the section titled SYSTEM

SET CODES. This assures that the battery strength indicator will display correctly for your non-rechargeable batteries. This is not a mandatory procedure and the E10 will function if it is not done.

PREVENTING BATTERY ACID LEAKAGE

To avoid battery acid leakage, only use high quality alkaline, lithium or rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries. Never intermix old with new, or different brands or types of batteries. Damage caused by battery acid leakage is not covered by this product’s warranty. If the batteries leak, don’t throw them away and immediately contact the manufacturer of the batteries to inquire about their battery leakage warranty program.

The included AC Adaptor/Charger may be used to charge 4 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (included) when installed onto the E10’s battery compartment.

Before charging, the E10 must be set up for use with

Ni-MH batteries and the correct charging rate must be selected for them to be charged. Ni-MH batteries are manufactured with specific capacities rated in milliamp-hours (mAh). These capacities vary from about

1100 mAh up to 2400 mAh at the time of this writing

(usually printed on the batteries). For proper charging without damage to the batteries, the correct charging rate must be set. To set the charging rate, plug in the

AC adaptor and turn the E10 off. Then follow the instructions below.

1. Enter SYSTEM SET CODE 28. See instructions in the section titled SYSTEM SET CODES.

2. While ‘1100’ flashes in the display, use the UP

HOUR/DOWN MIN buttons to select the mAh rating of your Ni-MH batteries.

USING THE INCLUDED AC

ADAPTOR/CHARGER

To power the E10 with the included AC Adaptor/

Charger, plug it into a wall outlet first, and then into the socket on the left side of the E10, labeled DC 6

V. Batteries can be in the radio while using the AC

Adaptor/Charger.

To charge Ni-MH batteries:

1. Install 4 Ni-MH AA batteries.

2. Connect the adaptor/charger to the AC wall

3. Press/release the CHARGER ON/OFF button.

‘CHARGE’ will flash in the display and the charge

5 GETTING STARTED continued

indication bars will advance from left to right on the 0 – 5 scale in the upper left corner of the display. The digits in the upper right corner of the display will change to 00:00 and will count up in minutes and hours until charging is finished.

Once charging is finished, ‘CHARGE’ will stop flashing and the charging indicator bars in the upper left corner will stay on 5.

Charging time varies depending on the milliamphour rating of the batteries. The charging circuit automatically senses the milliamp-hour rating of the batteries and will charge them for the correct amount of time. Charging time can take from 6 hours for 1100 mAh batteries to 13 hours for 2300 mAh batteries. The charging circuit will sense when the batteries are fully charged and automatically go into trickle-charge mode, thus safeguarding the batteries from being overcharged. Disconnecting the adaptor/charger ACG-10 from the E10 or pressing the CHARGER ON/OFF button will also stop charging.

6 BASIC RADIO OPERATION

TURNING THE E10 ON AND OFF

The E10 can be turned on by the two methods shown below. To turn it off, press the POWER/SLEEP button (1).

1. BATTERY SAVER/TIMER METHOD:

Perform a quick, short press of the POWER/SLEEP button (1). This turns the radio on with 90 in the display and causes the radio to shut off automatically after 90 minutes. The sleep timer symbol, , also appears in the display. To change the automatic shut off time from 90 minutes to the number of minutes-to-play of your preference, use the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (9, 10) immediately after turning on the radio. This allows selection of 1 – 480 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.

SIGNAL STRENGTH AND

BATTERY STRENGTH INDICATOR

When the radio is turned off, the upper left corner of the display (6) shows battery strength on the 1–5 scale (36), with the triangle pointer (33) under the battery symbol (34) on the far left side of the scale.

When the radio is turned on, the pointer is under the antenna symbol (35) and the 1-5 scale shows relative signal strength.

VOLUME AND TONE CONTROLS

• The volume control (31), labeled VOLUME, is located on the right side of the radio. To change the volume, rotate the volume control knob.

• The tone control (24), on the left side of the radio is labeled TREBLE/BASS. Use the position producing the sound that you like best.

2. TIMER-DEFEAT METHOD:

This method defeats the automatic 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

‘On’ appears in the display and that he sleep timer symbol does not appear when this method is used.

USING EARPHONES

Earphones/headphones with a 1/8 inch stereo plug can be used. Plug them into the earphone socket

(25) on the left side of the radio.

6 BASIC RADIO OPERATION continued

SELECTING FM, AM or SHORTWAVE

When listening to FM or shortwave, fully extend the telescopic antenna (5). It need not be extended when listening to AM stations. After turning on the

E10, perform quick, short presses of the ‘FM/AM-

ATS’ button (15) to select FM or AM. Note that when the AM band is selected, the display shows

MW, not AM. To select SW press the ‘SW METER

BAND’ button (16). Each sequential press of the SW

METER BAND button or of the UP/HOUR or DOWN/

MIN buttons places the radio at the beginning of a specific shortwave meter band. The frequency digits (46) appear toward the center portion of the display. The local stations of the area that you are currently in will be heard on AM and FM, while shortwave stations from around the world can be heard on SW.

MANUAL TUNING

Quick, short presses of the Up/Hour-Down/Min. buttons (9,10) enables tuning up or down frequency.

AUTO-SCAN TUNING

Pressing the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (9, 10) for just over 1 second enables automatic scan-tuning. The radio will then automatically 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.

DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

When the desired frequency is known, it can be entered via the numeric keypad (17) and the ‘Enter’ button (20). First, make sure that the correct band is selected - AM, FM or SW.

NOTE: If you are new to shortwave, see the special shortwave sections later in this manual.

LISTENING IN FM STEREO

FM stereo can be heard when using earphones/ headphones. To hear FM in stereo, press the FM

STEREO button (14). ‘FM-STEREO’ will appear in the display.

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’ (20) button.

2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad

(17).

SETTING UP AM AND FM

OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA

You can skip this section if you are in North America and just purchased the E10. It is already set-up in the factory for use in North America. Outside of North America, AM stations (MW in the E10’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, see the

SYSTEM SET CODE TABLE and the instructions

CHANGING SYSTEM SET CODES.

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’ (20) button.

2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad

(17).

TUNING IN STATIONS

There are four ways to tune-in stations, described below. They are Manual Tuning, Auto-scan Tuning,

Direct Frequency Entry and Fine Tuning.

3. Press/release the ‘Enter’ button again.

6 BASIC RADIO OPERATION continued

TUNING KNOB

The TUNING knob control (28) is located on the right side of the radio. Use it to ‘fine-tune’ stations or as you would a tuning knob.

LOCKING THE TUNING KNOB

To prevent accidentally tuning off of the radio station, the tuning knob can be locked while the radio is turned on. To lock it, press and hold the TUN-

ING MODE button for about three seconds. Notice that the key-lock symbol flashed twice in the lower right side of the display. The tuning knob is now locked. If turned, the frequency does not change and the key-lock symbol flashes. To unlock it, press the TUNING MODE button for about three seconds.

TUNING MODE – FAST TUNING – SLOW TUNING

The TUNING MODE button (8) allows selection of fast or slow tuning when using the tuning knob or the UP/HOUR and DOWN/MIN controls. FAST or

SLOW appear in the display. When tuning with the tuning knob (28), fast tuning is usually appropriate.

When tuning with the UP/HOUR and DOWN/MIN buttons, use slow tuning to tune in stations and fast tuning to move up or down frequency at a rapid rate. Then use slow to actually tune in stations.

Experiment with this control to see which tuning mode that you prefer.

CANCELLING TUNE-MUTE

The tune-mute cancellation capability makes the

E10 ‘feel’ more like an analog tuned radio, even though it’s a high-tech digital tuner. The difference is somewhat subtle and is mainly noticeable in slow tuning mode using the tuning knob. Note that it may be difficult for some to actually hear the difference.

For those who can hear the difference, tuning may sound somewhat ‘smoother’ when using the tuning knob. To cancel Tune-Mute, press/release the SYS-

TEM SET button, then the TUNING MODE button.

The display will read OFF. The Tune-Mute feature is now cancelled. To reactivate, do the same and the display will read ON.

USING THE BANDWIDTH

BUTTON

The BANDWIDTH button (14) is used when listening to AM and SW stations. Its purpose is to help minimize interference. The preferred setting is

WIDE, which provides best audio fidelity. Use NAR-

ROW when there is interference. W or N will appear in the display.

USING THE SW IF SET

CONTROL

The SW IF SET control (13) shifts the intermediate frequency oscillator, which may help to minimize interference. This functions both for AM and shortwave. When activated, pIF shows in the display.

The E10 is configured at the factory with 10 memory pages, each page having 50 memories, for a total of 500 memories. You can change this set-up via the SYSTEM SET CODES, shown below.

HOW TO USE THE ATS FEATURE

To automatically store your strongest local AM and FM stations into memory, press and hold the

FM/AM-ATS button for 2 seconds. The E10 scans FM stations first and then AM stations, from the lowest frequency to the highest, storing the strongest stations into memory. Once they are stored, use the

UP/HOUR and DOWN/MIN buttons to recall the stations. During the searching/storing process, pressing

“FM/AM.ATS” stops the process, with the E10 in memory access mode, allowing the “UP/HOUR” or

“DOWN/MIN” to access stations that were stored in memory.

If undesired weak or noisy FM stations are stored into memory, shorten the telescopic antenna and run the ATS scanning process again. If undesired weak or noisy AM stations are stored, switch the gain control switch to NORMAL or LOCAL and run the ATS scanning process again.

Stations are stored on page 0, starting with location

01, until 50 frequencies have been stored. If the number of stations is less than 50, ATS search automatically stops and the last station stored is heard.

Whenever a new ATS search is performed, the new searched/stored stations will replace any previously stored stations in the ATS memory.

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 seconds. 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. 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

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.

11 LISTENING TO SHORTWAVE STATIONS

Are you new to shortwave listening? If so, you’ll want to read this section and the next section called UNDERSTANDING SHORTWAVE BANDS.

• Around sunset and sunrise, both the day and night bands may be good, sometimes exceptionally good. Listening at these times can often be quite rewarding.

WHAT ARE SHORTWAVE STATIONS?

These are radio broadcast stations around the world broadcasting on frequencies that can be heard over vast distances, often many thousands of miles. In the United States, there are also about 30 domestic shortwave broadcasters with religious, politically and ideologically oriented broadcasts.

• The construction materials of some buildings severely block shortwave signals. To counteract this, hold the radio in your hands and get very close to a window.

WHY LISTEN TO SHORTWAVE STATIONS?

There are many reasons why you may enjoy shortwave stations. Here are just some, as reported to us by our customers.

• Listening to news and information from other world sources often exposes you to different and unique perspectives on national and world events.

SELECTING A SHORTWAVE METER BAND WITH

THE E10

All 14 of the international broadcast bands can be accessed with the E10. The bands are numbered

120, 90, 75, 60, 49, 31, 25, 22, 19, 16, 15, 13 and

11 meters and are commonly called ‘Meter Bands’.

The E10 offers two ways to access a shortwave band. Each method places the tuner at the beginning of the band’s frequency range.

• Exposure to other languages and cultures, including their music and perspectives. Hearing a country’s native or ‘folk’ music can be very enjoyable, even if you don’t understand the language.

• Learning a language by hearing native speakers.

1. Each successive quick, short press of the button labeled SW METER BAND (16) places the radio at the beginning of a band. While pressing the button, the band number shows in the upper right corner of the display (50) and disappears a few seconds after it is released, causing the clock to reappear in the corner.

Start tuning only after the clock reappears. If you don’t wait, then method 2, below will automatically be used.

• Keeping in touch with another part of the world, perhaps your original homeland or that of your family’s heritage.

• Religious, politically and ideologically oriented broadcasts.

2. Perform one quick, short press of the button labeled SW METER BAND, immediately followed by quick, short presses of either the Up/Hour or Down/

Min. tuning buttons. The band number appears in the upper right corner of the display. Once the band of choice is selected, start tuning after the clock reappears in the upper right corner.

GENERAL SHORTWAVE ‘RULES-OF-THUMB’

• Night shortwave reception is usually better than daytime shortwave. This can change from timeto-time, so it’s worth checking the bands during the day too.

• During daytime the most active shortwave bands are 13, 15, 16, 19, and 22 meters. 16 and

19 usually being the best. At night, the most active bands are 25, 31, 41 and 49 meters, with

31 and 49 usually best.

AUTO-SCAN TUNING WHILE IN SHORTWAVE

In shortwave, auto-scan tuning scans in the shortwave frequency ranges noted in the Band Chart below. To tune shortwave frequencies that are inbetween these ranges, or outside of these ranges, use one of the other tuning methods, e.g. Regular

Tuning (manual tuning) or Direct Frequency Entry as discussed titled TUNING IN STATIONS.

THE KEY TO ENJOYING YOUR

SHORTWAVE RADIO

Now that you have a shortwave radio, no doubt you’ll want to hear worldwide stations right away. If you’re new to shortwave, please take some time to learn the basics outlined below. Even if you are an experienced shortwave listener, you may find this a useful refresher.

WHAT ARE BANDS?

To fully enjoy shortwave listening, this is the most important concept to learn right away.

names like 25 meters, 31 meters, 49 meters, etc.

These are abbreviated 25m, 31m and 49m. Just like in AM and FM radio, one simply gets into the shortwave band and tunes around, looking for stations.

For example, the 19 meter shortwave band encompasses the frequency range of 15100 to 15600 kilohertz. In the chart below is a list of the shortwave bands used for international shortwave broadcasts and their corresponding frequency ranges. Since some radios show frequency in megahertz and some in kilohertz, both are shown here. The E10 shows shortwave radio frequencies in kilohertz, KHz.

To successfully listen to shortwave stations you must know how to find them. They are found in the shortwave bands. If you have ever listened to AM or FM radio, then you already know what a band is.

The AM band is a frequency range stretching form

530 to 1600 kilohertz, the FM band is 66-108 megahertz. A band is simply a frequency range where stations are located. When you look for stations in these “bands”, you simply tune around with your tuning buttons (or the tuning knob on an analog radio) until you find a station you like.

Shortwave is similar and the shortwave bands have

The following information can be used with any shortwave radio. Look at your radio’s tuning scale or digital display (or owner’s manual) to determine which frequency designation it uses in shortwave.

Most radios use the abbreviations KHz or MHz. On some shortwave radios these frequencies will look like 15100 KHz, 15105 KHz or 15110 KHz, but on other radios they might look like this: 15.1 MHz,

15.105 MHz or 15.11 MHz. That’s because some radios show frequencies as kilohertz and others show the frequencies as megahertz, as in the accompanying table. The exact frequency ranges for these

bands may vary somewhat from one radio model to another. This is perfectly OK. On some radios the bands are clearly marked, on others they are not marked at all. If it is not apparent how to get into a band on your radio, consult the owner’s manual, the Etón Corporation web site (www.etoncorp.com) or contact Etón Corporation and we’ll show you how this is done for your model.

A HELPFUL ANALOGY:

a shortwave band is like a street with many individual addresses on it.

Think of a shortwave band as you would a street with a full range of individual addresses on it, each address is a specific frequency. The 19 meter band could be called 19 Meter Street. As on any street, we have a range of addresses encompassing individual house numbers such as 15100, 15105, 15110, etc., each of these house numbers representing an individual house that you could visit on the street. In the 19 meter shortwave band, these ‘addresses’ or ‘house numbers’ are called frequencies and on each frequency you might visit a different shortwave radio station.

DAY BANDS AND NIGHT BANDS

THE DIFFERENCE IS IMPORTANT

Because shortwave signals depend on such factors as the sun, the ionosphere and interaction with the earth itself, signals cannot be heard on all bands throughout the day. Some bands are best during the daylight hours, and some are best at night. In general, the bands with frequencies below 13 MHz (13000 KHz) are better at night and the bands with frequencies above 13 MHz (13000 KHz) are best during the day. Listed below are the characteristics of the major shortwave bands. Follow these guidelines for best listening results. How to get into a specific band will vary from one radio to another. Consult your owner’s manual for instruction on how to access the bands on your radio or call Etón Corporation if it’s not clear to you.

SUNSET AND SUNRISE

OFTEN THE VERY BEST TIME TO LISTEN.

We are often asked whether there is a truly best time for listening to shortwave, when signals are strongest and clearest. Often, this is a window of hours right around sunset and sunrise. Sometimes it’s a two-hour window, other times three or four hours. Experiment to determine when it’s best in your area.

DAYTIME LISTENING

Shortwave listening is generally at its poorest during the daylight hours of about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The major reason for this is that the broadcasters are not transmitting to North America at this time, assuming that we are all either at work or at school and are not able to listen during the day. If you want to try daytime listening, use the guidelines below. Typically, daytime shortwave tends to be better in Eastern North America than in Western

North America. The best daytime bands are shown in BOLD print in the table below.

EVENING/NIGHT LISTENING

This is the best time to listen, because the broadcasters are deliberately transmitting to North

America.

These bands may be extremely good around sunset and sunrise too. Best night bands are shown in

BOLD print in the table below.

IF YOUR BUILDING BLOCKS SIGNALS:

If you notice that the signal strength of a stations substantially improves when you get very close to a window or when you go outside, then it is certain that your building blocks shortwave signals. This blockage is due to the construction materials of your building or to having one or more stories or levels above you. The solutions to this are to do your listening very close to a window, to go outside or to set up an outdoor shortwave antenna. For ideas on how to set up an outdoor shortwave antenna, use your favorite Internet search site and type in

‘shortwave antennas’. If you don’t have Internet access, contact us, Etón Corporation, using the contact methods noted at the beginning of this manual.

13 TROUBLESHOOTING

RESET PROCEDURE

The RESET button is on the bottom of the E10.

When performing a reset, have good batteries in the radio or power it with an AC adaptor and turn it off. Perform a reset if the solutions outlined below don’t resolve the issue. To perform a reset, press the reset button with a paper clip or similar object.

WILL NOT TURN ON

1. Assure that the LOCK feature is not engaged.

2. Assure that the radio has power (batteries installed or AC adaptor plugged in.

3. Assure that batteries are inserted with correct polarity

4. Assure that the batteries are not depleted

5. If using an AC adaptor, assure that it is plugged into the household outlet (mains socket) and into the radio’s DC socket. Take care not to plug it into the earphone socket. Also, assure that the AC adaptor is of the correct DC voltage output and polarity and that its plug-tip is of the correct inner and outer diameter.

SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE PLAYING

DURING BATTERY USE

This is caused by depleted batteries. Replace them.

SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE BEING MOVED

DURING AC ADAPTOR USE

This is usually caused by a broken wire or loose connection in the AC adaptor’s cord or if the AC adaptor’s plug-tip is of the wrong diameter.

OPERATES ERRATICALLY

Perform a RESET, as described in the section titled

RESET PROCEDURE.

STATIONS ARE RECEIVED TOO WEAK

• Assure that the ANTENNA GAIN switch is set to the DX position.

• Assure that the telescopic antenna is pulled up all the way for FM and Shortwave reception.

• When listening to AM stations, swivel the radio.

The AM internal ferrite bar antenna is highly directional.

• On shortwave, adjust the ANTENNA TRIMMER.

THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE SPEAKER
