ENABLING/DISABLING TIMER OPERATION

Press the 'TIME' button. This will activate the TIMER 1 display. It will appear as shown in the "ENABLING/DISABLING
TIMER" illustration which follows.
ENABLING/DISABLING TIMER
This display shows the start time and stop time set for TIMER 1 as well as the MEMORY or COUNTRY menu number, fre-
quency, and name (if any) programmed in for the TIMER 1 MEM CH.
To enable TIMER 1, press the 'ENABLE' softkey. This will cause "TIMER 1" to appear in the upper right hand corner of
this display (as well as all other displays and menus), indicating that TIMER 1 is enabled.
To disable TIMER 1, press the 'DISABLE' softkey. If TIMER 1 was the only one enabled, "TIMER 1" will disappear from
the display. If TIMER 2 was also enabled, only the '1' will disappear. If both timers are enabled you will see "TIMER 1
2"in the upper right hand corner of this and all other displays and menus.
To enable or disable TIMER 2, press the 'TIME' key again. This will activate the TIMER 2 display. This display is identical
to the TIMER 1 display except for its name. Follow exactly the same procedure to enable or disable TIMER 2.
To return to normal operation from the TIMER 2 display, press the 'TIME' key twice. The first press will take you to the
CLOCKS display, and the second will take you back to the VFO, MEMORY, COUNTRY, or XM display. Note that repeat-
edly pressing the 'TIME' key will cycle through the TIMER 1, TIMER 2, CLOCKS, and normal screens.

SPECIAL USE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

The etón E1 receiver has several special features that
are referred to in the main body of this USE AND CARE
GUIDE, but may require additional explanation.

LOCK ALL ENTRY TO KEYPAD

The receiver front panel keys with the exception of the
'CLEAR/LOCK' key may be locked or disabled by press-
ing and holding the 'CLEAR/LOCK' key for 3 seconds.
Press the 'CLEAR/LOCK' key and hold for 3 seconds. An
54
acknowledging beep will be heard, and both "LOCK"
and "TUN LOCK" will appear on the front panel dis-
play after 3 seconds to indicate that the front panel
keys and 'TUNING' control are locked.
Press the 'CLR/LOCK' again for 3 seconds to unlock
the front panel keys and 'TUNING' control. The beep
will again be heard when the key is pressed and the
"LOCK" and "TUN LOCK" indications on the front
panel display will disappear after 3 seconds, indicating
SPECIAL USE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS continued
that the 'TUNING' control and front panel keys have
been released.
This control can also be used when the receiver is
turned off. Press 'CLEAR/LOCK' for 3 seconds. A mes-
sage will appear confirming lock. If power is then
pressed, a "Press CLEAR/LOCK for 3 seconds to
unlock" message will appear. The user must perform
this action before the 'POWER' key will allow the
receiver to be turned on.

BROADCAST BAND TUNING STEP SIZE

In the AM broadcast band, the E1 receiver increments
the frequency in 10 kHz steps when pressing the '<
SELECT >' keys. The 10 kHz step size is practical for
tuning the U.S. and Canadian broadcast bands.
However, the step size can be changed to 9 kHz to
permit practical tuning of European broadcast stations.
The tuning step size is held in nonvolatile memory and
thus is not lost during power failure or battery chang-
ing. To select the alternate step size:
Press the 'MENU' softkey to activate the MAIN MENU.
Then press '1' on the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad. This
will take you to the RADIO SETTINGS menu. On that
menu, item number 4 reads as follows:
"4 MW TUNING STEPS 9 / 10 kHz"
Pressing '4' on the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad will tog-
gle the reverse video curser between 9 kHz and 10
kHz. Leave the curser on the desired MW band step
size.
If the step size was 10 kHz prior to performing the
above procedure, then the 9 kHz step size for the
broadcast band is now programmed. To change back
to 10 kHz, repeat the same procedure.
To exit the RADIO SETTINGS menu, press '9' (EXIT) on
the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad.

DELETE ALL MEMORY OR COUNTRY CHANNELS

The following procedure will delete either all MEMORY
or all COUNTRY channels. It will not clear XM
FAVORITE channels.

mode by pressing the 'MEMORY' or 'COUNTRY'
softkeys.

• While holding the 'POWER' key, press the 'MEMO-
RY' or 'COUNTRY' softkey for two seconds.

• While the "DELETE PAGE ?" message is still visible,
press the 'DELETE' key for two seconds to delete
the page.

from the display before you press the 'DELETE' key, you
must start over.

DELETE ALL MEMORY AND COUNTRY CHANNELS

If it is desired to delete all MEMORY AND COUNTRY
channels in one operation, proceed as follows:
• Place the receiver in either MEMORY or COUNTRY
mode by pressing the 'MEMORY' or 'COUNTRY'
softkey.
• Turn the receiver off by pressing the 'POWER' key.
• Press and hold the 'POWER' key.
• Press the 'DELETE' key for two seconds while still
holding down the 'POWER' key.
• This will cause the message "Are you really sure you
want to delete the program information in all 1700
memory channels?" to appear.
• While this message is still displayed, press the
'DELETE' key for two seconds to clear MEMORY and
CHANNEL memories.
Note that the above memory clearing procedures do
NOT clear XM favorite channels. To do this, refer to
"CLEAR FAVORITES" on page 47.

DISPLAY LIGHTING

With AC Adapter
When the unit is operating from the external AC
adapter or other DC power source and is turned OFF,
the display lighting will revert to one of the following
states.
• If Dim, Medium, or Bright was selected using the
'LIGHT' key when the unit was ON, the display will
be Dim when the unit is turned OFF.
• If no backlighting was selected using the 'LIGHT'
key when the unit was ON, the display will not be
illuminated when the receiver is turned OFF.
• When the receiver is in the OFF state, the display
illumination can be toggled on and off with the
'LIGHT' key. If toggled on, the illumination will
remain on indefinitely.
Regardless of display lighting, the LCD display will
remain ON, displaying the time indefinitely, and can be
switched between Local and GMT time using the
'TIME' key.
