E10 OWNER’S MANUAL
WHAT THE E10 INCLUDES
• Earbud style earphones
• Carrying pouch
• AC adaptor/charger
• 4 - 1100 mAh, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
• Owner’s manual
NOTE: In the instructions below, numbers in paren-
thesis ( ), refer to the diagrams.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
The battery compartment is located on the back of
the E10. Its cover is on the lower right corner of the
back. To remove the battery compartment cover, ap-
ply thumb pressure and slide it towards the bottom
of the radio. Install 4 AA alkaline batteries into the
battery compartment, observing the battery polar-
ity diagram on the back of the radio.
NOTE: If you don’t plan to use rechargeable batter-
ies at all, then it’s a good idea to set SYSTEM SET
CODE 29. To do this, see the section titled SYSTEM
SET CODES. This assures that the battery strength
indicator will display correctly for your non-re-
chargeable batteries. This is not a mandatory
procedure and the E10 will function if it is not done.
PREVENTING BATTERY ACID LEAKAGE
To avoid battery acid leakage, only use high quality
alkaline, lithium or rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride
batteries. Never intermix old with new, or different
brands or types of batteries. Damage caused by
battery acid leakage is not covered by this product’s
warranty. If the batteries leak, don’t throw them
away and immediately contact the manufacturer of
the batteries to inquire about their battery leakage
warranty program.
USING THE INCLUDED AC
ADAPTOR/CHARGER
To power the E10 with the included AC Adaptor/
Charger, plug it into a wall outlet rst, and then into
the socket on the left side of the E10, labeled DC 6
V. Batteries can be in the radio while using the AC
Adaptor/Charger.
CHARGING BATTERIES IN THE E10
The E10 will play using whatever type of AA batteries
are in the battery compartment, but only nickel-
metal-hydride batteries can be charged within it. If
non-rechargeable batteries are installed, the E10 has
a built-in safeguard system that will prevent them
from being charged. This safeguard system works
with the E10 set to either SYSTEM SET CODE 28 or
29, as described below, and only with the included AC
Adaptor/Charger.
WARNING: Use only the included AC Adaptor/Char-
ger to recharge Ni-MH batteries. Use of any other
device may cause the rechargeable batteries to over-
heat, become damaged and possibly damage the E10.
The built-in safeguard system, described above, works
only with the included AC Adaptor/Charger. Damage
caused to the E10 resulting from failure to observe
this warning is not covered by the warranty and voids
the warranty.
The included AC Adaptor/Charger may be used to
charge 4 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (included)
when installed onto the E10’s battery compartment.
Before charging, the E10 must be set up for use with
Ni-MH batteries and the correct charging rate must
be selected for them to be charged. Ni-MH batteries
are manufactured with specic capacities rated in mil-
liamp-hours (mAh). These capacities vary from about
1100 mAh up to 2400 mAh at the time of this writing
(usually printed on the batteries). For proper charging
without damage to the batteries, the correct charging
rate must be set. To set the charging rate, plug in the
AC adaptor and turn the E10 off. Then follow the
instructions below.
1. Enter SYSTEM SET CODE 28. See instructions in
the section titled SYSTEM SET CODES.
2. While ‘1100’ ashes in the display, use the UP
HOUR/DOWN MIN buttons to select the mAh
rating of your Ni-MH batteries.
To charge Ni-MH batteries:
1. Install 4 Ni-MH AA batteries.
2. Connect the adaptor/charger to the AC wall
3. Press/release the CHARGER ON/OFF button.
‘CHARGE’ will ash in the display and the charge
