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 H 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.
THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE SPEAKER
Assure that earphones/headphones are not plugged in and that the
volume control is turned up.
A STATION CAUSES SEVERE AUDIO DISTORTION, BUT
SEEMS TO BE VERY STRONG IN SIGNAL STRENGTH
This is probably a strong, local station, very close to your location.
Because of its close proximity to you, its signal is too strong. To
reduce signal strengths, place the ANTENNA GAIN switch into the
M or L position. Also, try retuning the station with the FINE TUNING
control.
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT HAS A STICKY LIQUID
OR DRIED WHITE POWDER IN IT
This is the result of battery acid leakage. Battery acid leakage is not
covered by warranty. Do not throw away the leaked batteries and
immediately contact their manufacturer.
RESET PROCEDURE
When performing a ‘reset’, assure that the batteries in use are good.
If the radio does not function and the solutions below do not resolve
the problem, perform a ‘reset’. To do this, slide the RESET switch, on
the bottom of the E100, in the direction of the arrow.
WILL NOT TURN ON
1. Assure that the LOCK switch is in the OFF position (pushed down).
2. Assure that the radio has power (batteries installed or AC adaptor
plugged in.
3. 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.
4. Assure that batteries are inserted with correct polarity
5. Assure that the batteries are not depleted
CLOCK SHOWS IN DISPLAY,
BUT RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON
There are two possibilities: dead batteries or the LOCK switch is ON.

This is caused by depleted batteries. Replace them.
SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE BEING MOVED
