Power the E5 by installing 4 AA alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH batteries

or by plugging in the included AC adapter. A symbol appears in the

upper right of the LCD, indicating battery or AC adapter power.

To minimize the possibility of battery acid leakage, only use high

MORE E5 INFORMATION

The F1-7 buttons have dual functions, noted on the diagram under

the E5’s rear tilt ap.

With its included AC adapter/charger connected, the E5 internally

recharges 4 Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable batteries

(not included). Note that the E5 can still play while the batteries are

charging and the alarm functions will work.

To charge batteries:

1. With the E5 turned off, install 4 NI-MH batteries and connect the

AC adapter/charger.

2. Press the F7 button for about 3 seconds, or until CHG appears in

the upper right of the display and the charging hours appear in

the display.

3. Use the tuning knob to select the charging time in hours (00-23)

based on the mAh rating of your batteries: 11 hours for 1100

mAH rating; 23 hours for 2300 mAH rating; etc.

4. Press the PAGE/TIME button when nished. In the display, the

battery symbol’s segments continuously activate from left to

right during charging. Battery charging terminates once the set

charge time has been reached.

Assure that it is powered with the AC adapter or batteries; that it is

unlocked; that the DX/LOCAL switch is in the DX position.

SETTING UP AM AND FM OUTSIDE OF NORTH

AMERICA

E5 OWNER’S MANUAL

To use the E5 in North America (U.S. or Canada), no changes to the

initial factory settings are needed.

In North America, AM stations are spaced by 10 KHz. In Europe and

other areas, they are spaced by 9 KHz. In North America, the FM band

begins at 87.5 MHz. In other parts of the world, it may begin at 87

MHz or 76 MHz. Follow these steps to set this for your area:

1. With the E5 off, press the F5 button for about 3 second - ‘9’ or

‘10’ ashes in the display.

2. Use sequential F5 presses to select 9 or 10, then press the

‘PAGE/TIME’ button – the FM frequency ashes in the display.

3. Sequentially press the F5 button until the beginning FM fre-

quency of your area appears.

4. Press PAGE/TIME to nalize the procedure.

The sleep timer enables the E5 to play for a specied number of

minutes (00-99), then shut off. It can be activated and programmed

with the E5 turned on or off. In sleep mode, the sleep symbol ap-

pears in the display.

1. With the E5 on or off, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired

time (00-99 minutes).

2. Within 3 seconds press the SLEEP button. The E5 plays for the

specied time.

To change the sleep time:

After the sleep time has been selected, press SLEEP for about two

seconds, then use the tuning knob to change it and press PAGE/TIME.

USING THE SLEEP TIMER

VOLUME CONTROL

E5 OWNER’S MANUAL

With the E5 on or off, use the +-/VOL buttons or the numeric keypad

to adjust to volume levels 0-31. The level number appears in the

display. To adjust the volume with the numeric keypad, enter the

desired volume level and press either the + or – VOL button within 3

seconds.

Turn on the E5. To select LW/AM press the AM BAND button; for

FM press the FM BAND button. To enter a specic shortwave band,

sequentially press the ‘METERBAND’ button to select the band of

your choice. The most popular shortwave bands can also be accessed

with the F1-F7 buttons (F1=49m, F2=41m, F3=31m, F4=25m,

F5=22m, F6=19m and F7=16m).

When listening to FM or shortwave, fully extend the telescopic

antenna. It need not be extended when listening to AM stations (the

AM antenna is located inside the E5).

To learn about shortwave we recommend the two publications be-

low, published yearly and available from major booksellers. Addition-

ally, the Internet is a great resource for learning about shortwave.

SELECTING FM, AM and SHORTWAVE

SHORTWAVE LISTENING

OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION

E5 OWNER’S MANUAL

Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances

including other countries and continents. The following information

will help you get the best results.

• During the day, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best.

• At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best.

• Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be

good.

• Getting very close to a window and holding the radio improves

shortwave reception.

SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications us-

ing the single-sideband mode such as amateur radio, Morse code,

weather-fax transmissions and other signals often referred to as

‘utility’ signals. The Internet and your local library are great resources

to learn more.

Turn on the E5. To use SSB, turn on the SSB circuit by pressing the

SSB button. Note that SSB appears in the display. Tune to the short-

wave frequency of your choice. Use the tuning knob to coarse-tune

the SSB signal, then ne-tune with the –FINE+ knob. This SSB circuit

allows tuning of both upper and lower sideband signals. For best SSB

signal clarity, placing the DX/LOCAL switch in the LOCAL position

may be desirable.

The DX/LOCAL switch on the left side of the E5 adjusts sensitivity.

Use DX as the default setting for maximum sensitivity to signals. If

TUNING SSB (Single Side Band)

USING THE DX/LOCAL SWITCH

strong stations seem distorted, then use LOCAL. This switch does not

function in FM mode.

Turn on the E5. Stations are tuned with the Buttons, Tun-

ing-Knob, Direct Frequency Entry and Auto-Search. Quick, s hort,

sequential presses of the buttons enables tuning up or down

frequency. Alternately, the TUNING knob can be used. Continuous

tuning in shortwave can only be done with the tuning knob and via

direct frequency entry.

Turn on the E5. Use this method when the desired frequency of a

radio station is known. AM and SW frequencies are entered in kilo-

hertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz.; FM frequencies are entered in

megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz, ignoring the decimal point.

1. Use the numeric buttons to enter the frequency.

2. Within 3 seconds, press the AM button if it’s an AM or SW fre-

quency, or the FM button for FM frequencies.

With the E5 on, auto-search tuning starts by pressing either the

up or down frequency button for about 2 seconds. The E5 has

3 selectable auto-search modes: STOP, ATS or D-5. The factory

programmed default mode is STOP. These are described below. When

USING THE DX/LOCAL SWITCH continued

auto searching shortwave stations, place the bandwidth switch into

the WIDE position.

STOP: Auto-searching stops on the next encountered station.

D-5: Auto-searching stops for 5 seconds on each next encountered

station, then moves on.

ATS: (Auto Tuning Storage): Auto-searching automatically stores

the strongest FM local stations into memories starting with page 99

and counting downward until all are stored, e.g. 98, 97, 96, etc. Tune

to the FM band and perform auto-search. After the ATS scan, select

your memory with the buttons and the station with the F1-7

buttons. If too many memories are lled with static, try the scan

again with the DX/LOCAL switch set in the LOCAL position.

To select an auto-search mode:

1. Hold down the F6 button for about 2 seconds, then release. Note

that the last chosen mode ashes in the screen.

2. While the mode ashes, perform quick, short presses of the F6

button to select alternate modes.

3. Press PAGE/TIME button.

(Use this same procedure to change your time zone when traveling).

1. With the E5 turned on, perform a quick, short press of TIME ZONE

button. ‘Tzone’ appears in the display.

2. Use the tuning knob to select your home time zone (see time

zone abbreviation list below).

3. Long, 3 second press of TIME ZONE button. ‘Tzone disappears

from the display.
