through openings. The obiecls may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts. This could cause a lire or electrical shock.
9 lf the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This Will prevent damage caused by light-
ning or power line surges.
10, If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,

Thank you for purchasing the high per»
wrmance 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 Specla| Weather
Alert System will sound an alarm when
a signal is broadcast from National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, (NOAA) , in the us.
Canada has a similar system,

weather related emergencies, During an emergency or weather related
hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that Wl|| set oft an audible
and/or visual alarm on the radio.
NOTE: Hazard warnings are not available in all areas.

LISTENlNG TIPS
Most portable radios including the CCHadio have an internal AM anten-
na. Best penormance is achieved when the radio is swiveled on its base
for maximum signal pickup from the transmitting tower. This same tech—
mode can be used to help nullity unwanted signals or radio noise.
Experimentation is the best way to see how it works for you.
Top View CCRadio
The CCRadio has two antenna terminals for AMA good antenna would
be 50” 0! insulated wire attached to one terminal and a ground to the
other terminal. Safety directions and precautions trom your antenna
supplier should be followed to prevent injury from lightning or any
accident.
The CCRadio is made for long distant or weak AM signal listening,
Daytime reception is limited to about 500 miles maximum because you
can only receive the signal direct lrorn the transmitter site. You may
receive AM stations thousands of miles away at dawn, dusk and at
night, depending on the time oi year and atmospheric conditions. The
ionosphere is a layer oi ions above the earth. At night it slows and cone
geals into a giant mirror and can reflect radio waves back to the earth;
allowmg you to receive Signals much farther away than during the day.
Distant listening is called Dxing. One club that is devoted to DXing is
National Fladio Club at: PO Box 164, MannsVille, NY 13661-0164. They
maintain a website at: http.‘//Wcail Dam/~gnbc/.

FiAoio NOiSE
AM HAoio Norse PROBLEMS AND
POSSIBLE Soumons
Annoying buzzes are many times
transmitted through an AM radio.
Here is a check-oil list of the most
likely causes:
-Dimmer SWitch.
-Fluorescent light.
-’Touch lamp" type light lixture (even
when turned oft)
rAutomatic on and oil night lights.
-Outdoor yard lights which come on
automatically.
~Electronic bug and pest controllers.
-A light bulb that is about to burn
out.
-A iauity electrical swuch oi any kind.
»A nearby television set.
-A store that has a fluorescent light
or a public recreation room that has
fluorescent lights located near you.
Blinking bulbs oi all kinds such as
Christmas tree lights.
—lt you live in an apartment 3 neigh-
bor's dimmer switch could be the
culprit.
-Scanners oi all types.
-Dirty insulators on a nearby power
pole allowmg arcing
-Electric blanket.
'Sm0k€ detectors that run lrorh AC
current (battery operated is OK).
It is best to eliminate the interfer-
ence at its source. Here‘s a list of
possible solutions:
-The most obvious is to turn ott the
oilending device.
-Try a battery operated radio to see it
the interterence is coming in trom the
AC 120V line. through the air, or both,
-Turn ott the circuit breakers to see it
the noise stops. it it does. then you
know it is something in your house
Turn off one circuit at a time to isolate
where the noise is coming from.
-Use a battery operated radio as a
direction tinder. Turn the radio until the
loudest noise is heard and the lront
and back of the radio Wl|| point to the
noise origin.
Carry a radio around the neighbor-
hood and see it you can find the origin
oi the noise. Ask other neighbors it
they have the same problem.
-|l a power pole is suspected, call the
utility company and they Will check the
area and possibly wash the insulators.
Dirty power pole insulators are some»
times a cause of dilticuit-to-tind radio
interierence.
-|l you have a hum in your receiver
trom AC line noise sometimes ground-
ing the radio can reduce the hurn
greatly. Finding a good earth ground
may be diiiicult.
