not the cord. Operate the radio using only the correct type of power source indicated. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. 11) Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords. This can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings. The objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the high performance digital CCRadio. The CCRadio incorporates the highest quality parts and superior engineering to produce the most sensitive AM receiver available. It also covers FM, Weather, and TV audio channels 2-13. The special Weather Alert System will sound an alarm when a signal is broadcast from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. Canada also has a similar system.

GETTING STARTED POWERING YOUR RADIO Before powering your radio be sure to read the Safety Instructions on page 4. The CCRadio will run on (4) “D” size nicad or alkaline batteries or on 120V AC house current using the included power cord. Batteries are optional. The batteries are necessary to keep the time clock and memories if the power cord is removed from the radio for more than three minutes. AC OPERATION Before you plug the AC cord into the radio be sure the AC voltage is 120Volts/60Hz.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES 1) Position the radio face down on a soft surface to protect it. 2) Remove the battery compartment cover. 3) Insert the (4) “D” cell batteries into the compartment as indicated in the drawing below. Be sure the negative (-) end is against the spring. Refer to the drawing below to insure correct installation of your batteries. 4) Replace the battery cover. You are now ready to operate your radio.

SETTING THE CLOCK Please read this entire page carefully before you start. The correct time must be set with the radio off. If you do not finish setting the clock or alarm in 15 seconds you will have to start over. 1) Press the Band/Time Set button. The hour digit will flash. 2) Using the Up/Down tuning button, select the appropriate hour digit. 3) Press the Band/Time Set button again to select the minute digit. Use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the minute to the appropriate time.
NOTES ON THE ALARM: To stop the alarm from going off every day press the Alarm button on top of the radio until both symbols disappear. Once the alarm is set, it will automatically go off the next day at the same time. Use the POWER button to shut off the alarm until the next day. If the radio alarm is selected, turn the radio to your favorite station before setting the alarm. When the alarm activates the radio will play the last station listened to.
RADIO OPERATION The CCRadio features four bands: AM / FM / TV 2-13 and Weather. MANUAL TUNING: 1) Press the POWER button to turn on the radio. 2) Select the band by pressing the BAND button. 3) A single press of the Up or Down tuning button will change the frequency up or down for AM and FM bands, and channel up or down for weather and TV bands. Each press of tuning Up and Down buttons will change the frequency by 10 KHz in AM mode and 100 KHz in FM mode.
WEATHER ALERT SYSTEM The unique WXALERT mode on the CCRadio will alert you to special weather related emergencies. During an emergency or weather related hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that will set off an audible and/or visual alarm on the radio. NOTE: Hazard warnings are not available in all areas. There are seven standard NOAA weather channels used in the US and Canada. This radio receives broadcasts up to 50 miles from transmitting stations.
near the top radio comes on continuously: WXALERT with Alarm and flashing light will be active. Display shows ALERT and red light near the top of the radio. In this mode, if the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light on the top of the radio flashes and a siren turns on for 1 minute. To cancel the WXALERT, press any button on the radio.
LOCK SWITCH The Lock switch can be used when transporting the radio to prevent turning it on. When the switch is pushed up you will see the Lock symbol appear on the display. It can also be used to disable all functions of the radio when it is turned on. Push the Lock down to release the lock switch.

AM TUNING & LISTENING TIPS Most portable radios including the CCRadio have an internal AM antenna. Best performance is achieved when the radio is swiveled on its base for maximum signal pickup from the transmitting tower. This same technique can be used to help nullify unwanted signals or radio noise. Experimentation is the best way to see how it works for you. Top View CCRadio The CCRadio has two external antenna terminals for AM.
RADIO NOISE TROUBLESHOOTING AM RADIO NOISE PROBLEMS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Annoying buzzes are many times transmitted through an AM radio. Here is a check-off list of the most likely causes: • Dimmer switch. • Fluorescent light. • “Touch lamp” type light fixture (even when turned off). • Automatic on and off night lights. • Outdoor yard lights which come on automatically. • Electronic bug and pest controllers. • A light bulb that is about to burn out. • A faulty electrical switch of any kind.
