Features and Operation Explained Introduction The CCRadio-SWP is the perfect size for packing around. It is unusually good at picking up stations. Audio is clear for its size, while taking as long as 70 hours to wear down a set of two AA batteries. Using the Tuning knob can be wearisome as it is with any small radio. The SWP has a novel way to zip around the bands to your favorite stations.
Features and Operation Explained each successive press. You have a choice of “on”, and from 90 minutes down to 5 minutes by 5-minute steps. Stop on the setting you desire and it will be remembered for your convenience each time you turn the radio “on” again. If you select any one of the sleep settings, except “on”, the SLEEP symbol will be displayed while the radio is “on”. When “on” is selected, the radio will simply turn on and off each time the power button is pushed.
Features and Operation Explained E LIGHT Pressing the “LIGHT” button will give you about eight seconds of light on the display. R SETTING CLOCK TIME /SAVING A STATION TO MEMORY The Memory/Time SET key works in two ways: 1. When the radio is “off” press and hold for one second until “Hour” flashes. You have eight seconds to set the hour. Use either the Tuning Knob or “UP” and “DOWN” buttons. Press again to set the minutes. Press a third time to confirm when done.
Features and Operation Explained station. There is a log in the back of this manual on pages 28-31 to help you organize your stations. Your memories will not be lost when batteries go dead or if you reset the radio. T DISPLAY button The DISPLAY button works in two ways: 1. When the radio is “on” the LCD display normally shows the frequency. Pressing the “DISPLAY” button will toggle the display through “ALARM TIME”, “TIME” of day, and “SLEEP” timer status.
Features and Operation Explained Y SETTING THE ALARM You can activate or deactivate the alarm if the radio is “on” or “off”. Pushing the “ALARM” button once sets the alarm to and the “radio” alarm. (The radio will alarm on the last station listened to.) A second push of the “ALARM” button sets the alarm to “buzzer” . A third press of the “ALARM” button turns off both icons and the radio will not alarm. Press the “Power” button to stop the alarms when they come on.
Features and Operation Explained tune the stations you have installed in memory exclusively. You can use the Tuning Knob, “Up” and “Down” buttons, or 0-9 Keys to change memory channels. This can save you much time if you are familiar with the stations in your area. There is no other function to this button. Press “FAVORITES” again to go back to regular tuning. I VOLUME This is easy, up + and down -.
Features and Operation Explained change the AM tuning steps from 10 to 9 kHz. The U.S. uses 10 kHz. Most of the rest of the world uses 9 kHz steps. It could be important to change the AM step rate if you use the “Up” and “Down” button to scan for stations and you happen to be in a foreign country. } “FREQ” UENCY Button This is used to directly enter a frequency. You must be in the radio band of your choice before you enter a frequency. AM and SW is straightforward.
Features and Operation Explained must be entered with a “00” in front of the channel number. Channel numbers 10 through 19 must have a “0” entered in front of the channel number. Example: Channel “1” must be entered as 0-0-1. w LCD DISPLAY Learning the features and the corresponding display icons can make your radio easier to use. Performance Tips While excellent for fine tuning, the Tuning Knob moves in only 1 kHz steps.
Performance Tips usually gives best reception. The antenna can also be rotated and shortened until the best signal is received. Always fully extend the telescopic antenna for the best Shortwave reception. SW reception can easily be improved with the addition of a very simple antenna. A portable SW antenna available from C. Crane works well for travel. Also, any insulated small diameter wire can be wound around the whip antenna and extended out 20' to 60'.
Troubleshooting Guide This radio has a microprocessor. If the display disappears or has odd characters, try resetting the radio. Use a toothpick or paperclip to momentarily stick in the “reset” hole gently. It is located on the bottom of the radio. The radio can be “on” or “off” when this is done. There must be power to the radio either by AC Adapter or batteries. NO AUDIO: Be sure the volume is up and headphone jack does not have something in it. The alarm will not work if headphones are plugged in.

Shortwave Tips The CCRadio-SWP covers all of the important international broadcast bands. A “ * ” symbol signifies where you most likely find the best listening. They are listed by frequency and then the (meter band). There are exceptions to every rule in Shortwave. Reception will vary when you are in a foreign country. The CCRadio-SWP has plenty of memory. If you install active frequencies into memory, you can recall them easily.
Shortwave Tips SWII 9250~9995 kHz (31m) – all year, night/winter * 11.50~12.16 MHz (25m) – summer; near sunset 13.57~13.87 MHz (22m) – day and summer 15.00~15.825 MHz (19m) – day and summer * 17.48~17.90 MHz (16m) – day and summer 18.90~19.02 MHz (15m) – day, not much 21.45~21.85 MHz (13m) – day, not much Shortwave broadcasters use Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) time to coordinate their shows. You can normally find a UTC time signal at 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 kHz.
