(B) The SW band (1.8 - 30.0 MHz) frequencies are dis-
played and entered in kHz or MHz, depending upon
the user’s selection from item 5 of the RADIO SET-
TINGS menu. A maximum of 7 digits may be entered.
To make the menu selection,press the ‘MENU’ softkey
once. Then press ‘Direct-Key-Input’ key ‘5'. Repeatedly
pressing the ‘5' key toggles between kHz and MHz as
the display and entry method for the SW band. Leave
the reverse video entry 0on the desired display
method. For example, line 5 on the menu should
appear as follows for entry in kHz:
“ 5 SW BAND ENTRY kHz / MHz“.
After making this selection, press ‘Direct-Key-Input’ key
‘9' to exit the menu. Note that if kHz is selected from
the menu, the display will show frequencies from 1.8 -
30.0 MHz in Kilohertz, and entries should be made in
kHz.
Example:
14,258.1 kHz
Press ‘1', ‘4',‘2', ‘5',‘8', ’.’, ‘1',‘.’ **
OR Press ‘1', ‘4',‘2', ‘5',‘8', ‘.’, ‘1', ‘0' *
If MHz was selected from the menu all frequency
entries should be made in MHz.
Example:
14.2581 MHz
Press ‘1', ‘4',‘.’,‘2', ‘5', ‘8',‘1', ‘.’ **
OR Press ‘1', ‘4',‘.’,‘2', ‘5', ‘8',‘1', ‘0' *
* When the maximum number of allowed digits is
entered, the 7th digit acts as an enter key, and a sec-
ond ‘.’ need not be entered
** The second depression of the ‘.’ key acts as an
‘ENTER’ and causes immediate response to the

enter the frequency after a slight delay.
(C) FM broadcast band enters and displays in MHz
(megahertz) regardless of the RADIO SETTINGS menu
setting.A maximum of 5 digits may be entered for FM.
Examples:
97.7 MHz
Press ‘9', ‘7',‘.’,‘7' ‘.’ **
107.7 MHz
Press ‘1', ‘0',‘7', ‘.’, ’7', ‘.’ **
OR Press ‘1', ‘0',‘7', ‘.’, ‘7',‘0' *
Attempting to enter a frequency outside the tuning
range of the etón E1 receiver will cause the ERROR
annunciator to flash and an error beep to be heard.
The receiver will then return to its previous settings.
SHORTWAVE ‘METER' BAND DESIGNATOR ENTRY
To facilitate tuning to particular sections of the short-
wave band that contain many worldwide broadcasts of
news, information and music,the etón E1 receiver per-
mits entry of the ‘METER' band designator. In some
cases, the worldwide broadcast station may not
announce its exact operating frequency, but will
announce the ’METER' band in which it is operating or
to which band it will move to improve worldwide
reception at a particular time of day. By entering this
'METER' band number, the receiver automatically tunes
to the low frequency end of the corresponding
‘METER' band. The search for the new station location
is thus limited to a particular smaller section of the
entire shortwave band spectrum.
The Shortwave Band Designators and corresponding
frequency ranges are as follows:

4. ANTENNA HF
This switch selects between the internal TELESCOPIC
antenna and the external antenna connector when
receiving LW, MW, or SW frequency ranges.
5. ANTENNA FM
This switch selects between the internal TELESCOPIC
antenna and the external antenna connector when
receiving the FM Broadcast band (76 - 90 MHz or 87 –
108 MHz).
6. EXT ANTENNA
This PAL type male input connector is designed for an
unbalanced 50 to 75 ohm input connection that is
encountered with coaxial feeds.
7. DC IN 9 V
Connect the AC ADAPTER wall transformer output
cable to this connector.The receiver requires 9 VDC
power at approximately 1 Amp current. With external
DC power applied, the internal batteries are not used.
8. EXT SPEAKER
This 1/8“ monophonic connector provides 1.25 to 3.0
watts audio output for an external 4 to 8 ohm speaker.
9. HEADPHONE
This connector accepts a 1/8" (3.175 mm)
stereo/mono headphone connector. Stereo reception is
possible only in the FM mode.All speaker outputs are
automatically switched off when

GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
The etón E1 receiver has been designed for ease of
use. Please take a few moments to read through this
section and familiarize yourself with general operating
information. In this manual, the term AM stands for
Amplitude Modulation, not the commercial AM broad-
cast band of 530 - 1710 kilohertz. When referring to
the commercial AM broadcast band, the term MW
(medium wave) is used.
FIRST STEPS
Please refer to the front panel illustration on page 13
and set the controls as described below.
(1) Install 4 "D" batteries or connect AC ADAPTER.
(2) Fully extend the telescopic antenna and adjust to a
vertical position, or connect an external antenna to
the side panel EXT. ANTENNA jack. Set side panel
‘ANTENNA HF’ and/or ‘ANTENNA FM' switch(es) to
appropriate position(s) (INTERNAL or EXTERNAL).
(3) Press ‘POWER’ and adjust ‘VOLUME’ to a
comfortable level.
(4) Select the desired band by pressing the ‘FM’, ‘SW’
or ‘MW/LW’ softkeys until the desired band is dis
played on the front panel display.The selected
band will be indicated by reverse video on the
display. For example: “MW / LW “.
(5) Enter the desired frequency by using one of several
methods as described in “DIRECT FREQUENCY
ENTRY” or use the ‘TUNING’ knob to tune until
the desired frequency is displayed.
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
Direct entry of a desired frequency is possible using the
‘Direct-Key-Input’ keys. While entering a frequency, if
an incorrect frequency is entered, pressing the
‘CLEAR/LOCK’ key will clear the entry in progress and
return the receiver to its previous settings.The second
depression of the decimal (.) key acts as an ‘ENTER'
and causes immediate response to the entered fre-
quency. If you do not press the decimal (.) key a sec-
ond time at the end, the receiver will automatically
enter the frequency after a slight delay. Enter frequen-
cy as follows:
(A) The LW and MW (AM broadcast) bands enter and
display in kHz (Kilohertz). A maximum of 6 digits may
be entered.
Examples:
700 KHz
Press ‘7', ’0' , ’0' , ’.’ ,’ .’ **
1290.00 kHz
Press ‘1', ‘2',‘9', ‘0',‘.’, ‘0’,‘0’ *
* When the maximum number of allowed digits is
entered, the decimal point will be automatically placed
between the 1 kHz and .1 kHz digits and need not be
entered.
** The second depression of the ‘.’ key acts as an
‘ENTER’ and causes immediate response to the
entered frequency. If you do not press the decimal ‘.’ a
second time at the end, the receiver will automatically
enter the frequency after a slight delay.
