Getting Started
POWERING YOUR RADIO
Before powering your radio be sure to read the Safety Instructions on page 11.
The CCRadio -EP will run on four “D” size NiMH or alkaline batteries or on 120V AC house current using the included power cord. Batteries are optional.
AC OPERATION
Before you plug the AC power adapter into the radio, be sure the AC voltage is 120Volts/60Hz.
Note:
If you have batteries in the radio and you use the AC power cord, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.
CCRadio - EP
Plug the supplied AC power adapter into the “DC IN 6V” power jack on the left side of the radio.
Page 7
Getting Started
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
1) Position the radio on a soft surface face down, with the bottom of the radio facing you.
2) On the battery compartment arrow marked “OPEN”, use two fingers to press down and towards you until the cover slides off.
3) Insert four “D” batteries as shown in the diagram inside the battery compartment. Notice that the fourth battery is inserted between the second and third batteries for easiest insertion. Be sure that the “+” polarity mark on the batteries point to the right.

4) Replace the battery compartment door by sliding it towards the top of the radio.
Note:
When the batteries are very low you may notice a decrease in volume or radio operation has become irregular. Test the radio by using the AC power adapter to confirm that low batteries are the problem.
Important:
Since batteries have been known to sometimes leak, we recommend removing the batteries when not in use for more than 30 days or if the radio is primarily used with the AC power adapter.

Troubleshooting Guide
The CCRadio -EP will not turn on:
1. Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly.
2. Make sure all batteries are good.
3. If using the AC Adapter, make sure that it is plugged fully into the power jack.
The CCRadio-EP has poor reception on FM:
1. Fully extend and rotate the FM whip antenna.
2. Adjust the band switch to “FM” instead of “FM ST” which requires a better signal.
3. Check the “EXT/IN ANTENNA” switch on the back of the radio for the proper setting.
4. Consider trying a more powerful external FM antenna like C. Crane
’ s
FM Reflect Antenna.
The CCRadio-EP has poor reception on AM, or is receiving
1. Rotate the radio for the best reception.
2. Try positioning the TWIN COIL FERRITE
®
AM FINE TUNING Knob in the “Normal” position. If the reception still needs improvement, adjust the knob for best station tuning accuracy.
3. Adjust the MUSIC-VOICE switch to VOICE for best AM audio clarity.
4. Move the radio away from electronic devices like computers and TV sets.
5. Use the radio on batteries. Sometimes interference can be transmitted to the radio over the AC power lines.
6. Concrete, brick, and metal buildings can greatly reduce radio reception. Try the radio outside. If the reception is improved, add an external AM antenna like C. Crane
’ s Twin Coil Ferrite ® AM Antenna.

Safety Instructions
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent damage to your radio or possible injury to you or others, read these safety precautions and instructions entirely before applying power to your radio. Keep these precautions and instructions where all who use this radio will read them.
1)
COMMON CARE
Check the radio, AC adapter, batteries and any accessories regularly. Do not use the radio if there is any sign of damage. Only operate in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
2)
PROPER BATTERY HANDLING
Never mix different type of batteries or use old batteries with new. This may cause the batteries to leak or explode. Dead batteries are prone to leakage.
Remove the batteries when no charge remains. Orientate the batteries correctly in the unit according to the diagram. Do not store batteries with metal objects like paper clips. We recommend you remove batteries from the radio if you are not going to use the radio for one month or more.
3)
DISCONNECT THE RADIO IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION
If you smell or notice smoke, disconnect the AC adapter and remove the batteries immediately taking care to avoid burns. Contact C. Crane Company Inc. or their representative for inspection and service before any future operation. Only use the AC adapter supplied with the unit and replace it if wires become frayed or exposed.
4)
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
The radio is heavy, especially when batteries are installed. Use only on a stable, level surface. Dropping the radio can cause damage or injury. Keep the AC
Adapter cord in a position so someone cannot trip and cause the radio to fall.
5)
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER AND MOISTURE
Keep the radio dry. Liquids and moisture can damage the radio. If a liquid leaks into the radio do not operate and seek a qualified service shop. To clean radio, remove the power adapter and use a damp cloth on the exterior only.
6)
KEEP AWAY FROM EXTREME TEMPERATURES
Extreme temperatures can damage the radio. Do not leave or use the radio where it can be subjected to high or very cold temperatures.
7)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE RADIO
Refer all service work to a qualified service shop when the radio does not appear to operate normally, exhibits a change in performance or the radio has received damage. Never open the radio as this may expose you to dangerous voltages and this will void all warranties.
8)
OUTSIDE ANTENNAS OR CABLES
