E10 OWNER’S MANUAL
SELECTING FM, AM or SHORTWAVE
When listening to FM or shortwave, fully extend
the telescopic antenna (5). It need not be extended
when listening to AM stations. After turning on the
E10, perform quick, short presses of the ‘FM/AM-
ATS’ button (15) to select FM or AM. Note that
when the AM band is selected, the display shows
MW, not AM. To select SW press the ‘SW METER
BAND’ button (16). Each sequential press of the SW
METER BAND button or of the UP/HOUR or DOWN/
MIN buttons places the radio at the beginning of
a specic shortwave meter band. The frequency
digits (46) appear toward the center portion of
the display. The local stations of the area that you
are currently in will be heard on AM and FM, while
shortwave stations from around the world can be
heard on SW.
NOTE: If you are new to shortwave, see the special
shortwave sections later in this manual.
LISTENING IN FM STEREO
FM stereo can be heard when using earphones/
headphones. To hear FM in stereo, press the FM
STEREO button (14). ‘FM-STEREO’ will appear in the
display.
SETTING UP AM AND FM
OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA
You can skip this section if you are in North America
and just purchased the E10. It is already set-up
in the factory for use in North America. Outside
of North America, AM stations (MW in the E10’s
display) are spaced in 9 KHz tuning steps. The FM
frequency range may be different from that used
in North America, e.g. like that used in Japan, 76-
108MHz. To make these changes, see the
SYSTEM SET CODE TABLE and the instructions
CHANGING SYSTEM SET CODES.
TUNING IN STATIONS
There are four ways to tune-in stations, described
below. They are Manual Tuning, Auto-scan Tuning,
Direct Frequency Entry and Fine Tuning.
MANUAL TUNING
Quick, short presses of the Up/Hour-Down/Min.
buttons (9,10) enables tuning up or down frequency.
AUTO-SCAN TUNING
Pressing the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (9, 10)
for just over 1 second enables automatic scan-tun-
ing. The radio will then automatically stop on the
next station encountered. Use the Up/Hour button
to auto-scan upward in frequency and the Down/Min.
button to auto-scan downward in frequency.
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
When the desired frequency is known, it can be
entered via the numeric keypad (17) and the ‘Enter’
button (20). First, make sure that the correct band is
selected - AM, FM or SW.
Most AM and Shortwave frequencies are designated
in kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz. All FM
frequencies are designated in megahertz (MHz), e.g.
102.9 MHz. To enter such frequencies:
1. Press/release the ‘Enter’ (20) button.
2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad
(17).
Sometimes Shortwave frequencies are designated in
megahertz (MHz). If you encounter such a shortwave
frequency and it has less than three digits after the
decimal point (e.g. 15.10 MHz or 6.92 MHz), then use
the following method to enter it. However, if there
are three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15110
MHz or 5.975 MHz), use the method described
previously.
1. Press/release the ‘Enter’ (20) button.
2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad
(17).
3. Press/release the ‘Enter’ button again.
