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 19.)
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 a few seconds or shows the letter 'E" in the
display:
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 14.
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 28 for a quick and easy antenna.
