TIME DISPLAY
The E1 incorporates dual time clocks allowing two 24
hour clocks to be set and maintained. During loss of
AC power, or during battery changing, clock operation
is maintained for a period of approximately 10 min-
utes, if the receiver has been connected to anAC
power source or had the batteries installed. The two-
event timer functions are also derived from the dis-
played clock. Therefore the clocks must be set first for
proper TIMER operation, and the clock selected for dis-
play must be the same one (GMT or Local) for which
the timers are programmed.
TIMER settings are stored in non volatile memory and
are maintained regardless of how long power has
been removed.When the receiver is in the ON state,
the time is displayed in the upper right hand corner of
the display, regardless of which menu or operating
mode is selected.When the receiver is in the OFF state,
the time is displayed prominently in the upper portion
of the display, and if either timer is enabled, timer set-
tings are displayed in the bottom portion of the display.
If the time in any menu or display is observed to be
flashing on and off at one second intervals, this is an
indication that the selected clock is not set.
Selecting between Local time and GMT time is accom-
plished by pressing and releasing the ‘TIME’ key three
times. This will bring up the CLOCKS menu, which
allows the user to press the softkey along the right
hand side of the display labeled GMT or LOCAL. When
the receiver is in the OFF state, pressing the ‘TIME’ key
will toggle between Local and GMT.
SETTING 24 HOUR CLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY
The etón E1 has the capability of setting both the
GMT and Local clocks automatically.To do this, the
receivers must be operating from the AC ADAPTER.
Reception must bo form one of the five available WWV
or WWVH National Institute of Standards and
Technology stations with a good quality signal.These
stations are located at 2500.0, 5000.0, 10,000.0,
15,000.0, and 20,000.0 kHz. In addition, several items
on the CLOCK MODES menu must be set properly. To do
this proceed as follows:
(1) With the receiver turned on, press the ‘MENU ‘ soft
key which will activate the MAIN MENU.Then
press the ‘4' key on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad,
to activate the CLOCK MODES menu.
(2) Item 1 on the CLOCK MODES menu reads: “AUTO
CLOCK SET OFF / ON ”.You will note that either
“ON” or “OFF” is shown in reverse video. Pressing
‘1' on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad, will toggle the
reverse video curser between “ON” and “OFF”. If
necessary, press the ‘1' key to move the curser to
“ON”.
(3) Item 2 on the menu reads: “2 AUTO CLOCK DST
OFF / ON”. Pressing the ‘2' key on the ‘Direct-Key-
Input’ keypad will toggle the curser between
“OFF” and “ON”.You should leave this on “ON” if
you live in a location that has daylight savings time
(DST). If you live in a location that does not have
DST, then you should select “OFF”. (DST applies
only in North America). Note that automatic update
of Daylight Savings Time at the transition date
through WWV or WWVH requires a good signal
and that the receiver be in the OFF state.
(4) Item 3 on the menu reads: “LOCALTIME OFFSET - /
+”.This refers to whether or not your Local time is
less than or greater than GMT. For example, the
Western hemisphere is less than GMT and the
Eastern hemisphere is greater.Therefore, if you
lived in the Western hemisphere, you would use the
‘3' key to toggle the curser to ‘- ‘
(5) Item 4 on the menu reads: “LOCALTIME OFFSET
00:00 HOURS”.This refers to how much your Local
time is offset from GMT. For example, in the
Eastern USA, the time offset is 5:00 hours.
• To make this setting, press ‘4' on the ‘Direct-Key-
Input’ keypad.This will cause the menu item
numbers to disappear, and the time entry for item 4
to be displayed in reverse video.
• Use the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad keys to enter the
desired offset, ignoring the colon. For example, for
5:00 hours press ‘0',‘5',‘0',‘0'. Line 4 of the dis
play will then read: “LOCAL TIME OFFSET 5.00
HOURS”.
• Then press the ‘STORE’ key to store the entry.You
will hear a beep, the menu item numbers will reap
pear, and the reverse video curser will disappear.
• Press the ‘9' key to exit the menu and return to
normal operation.
Note that on the E1, for the clocks to automatically
set, the receiver must be receiving power through the
AC Adapter and must be in the OFF state. The clocks
will not set automatically when operating from batter-
ies. While in the OFF state, it will search for the WWV
or WWVH signal that is the strongest, and will then
use it to set the clocks. Allow at least 15 minutes for
the clocks to set. This could take considerably longer
under weak signal conditions.
SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS MANUALLY
If you are not in a location where adequate signal
quality can be obtained on one of theWWV or WWVH
signals, the Local and GMT clocks will need to

that signals breaking the squelch are not noisy.)
(3)Press the ‘SEEK’ key. The receiver will step through
all programmed MEMORY or COUNTRY locations
until it finds a signal that exceeds the squelch
setting. It will stop on that signal and will stay there
until the ‘SEEK’ key is pressed again.

T.SCAN FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
The T.SCAN function of the etón E1 allows the user to
mark numerous channels in the MEMORY, and/or
COUNTRY, memories for selective scanning. Once the
channels are marked, pressing the T.SCAN key when in
MEMORY or COUNTRY mode will cause the unit to
scan through each of the marked channels in that
mode, and to stop on each one which has a signal
strength greater than a predetermined level which the
user determines by the setting of the SQUELCH knob.
The user then has two options as to how the T.SCAN
will proceed. It can remain on the marked channel as
long as the signal level exceeds the SQUELCH setting,
or it can remain on the channel for 5 seconds and then
resume the scan regardless of signal level. The selec-
tion of which of these options is chosen is made from
the RADIO SETTINGS menu, item 2 by selecting either
TIME or CARRIER. The T.SCAN function works on
MEMORY and COUNTRY modes. It does not work on
the VFO mode.
Therefore, if T.SCAN is enabled, the scan will proceed
through marked channels in CATEGORY or FAVORITES
mode, whichever is currently active when the ‘T.SCAN’
key is pressed, and will remain on each one for
approximately five seconds, regardless of whetherTIME
or CARRIER is selected on the RADIO SETTINGS menu
item 2.
MARKING CHANNELS FOR T.SCAN
This discussion assumes that the user has already pro-
grammed numerous channels in MEMORY or COUN-
TRY modes. Programming in MEMORY and COUNTRY
modes is covered on pages 26 and 28 respectively.
(1) Select either MEMORY or COUNTRY mode.The
choice will depend entirely on the user’s preference
and the number of channels programmed in MEM-
ORY or COUNTRY modes.
(2) Using the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key,
scroll through the programmed MEMORY or
COUNTRY channels until the reverse video curser is
on the one you want to mark for scan.
(3) To mark the channel for T.SCAN, press the ‘TAG’
key. (Number 11 on the Front Panel Description
drawing on page 13.) You will hear a beep tone
and see a “T” appear to the left of the channel
number.
UNMARKING T.SCAN CHANNELS
(1) To exclude a marked channel from a T.SCAN, select
that channel in MEMORY or COUNTRY modes
as described previously.
(2) With the reverse video curser on the selected chan-
nel, simply press the ‘TAG’ key again. You will hear
a beep tone and see the “T” disappear from the
left of the selected channel number.
SELECTING THE SCAN STOP METHOD
(1) Press the ‘MENU’ softkey twice to bring up the
RADIO SETTINGS menu.
(2) Note that item 2 on the RADIO SETTINGS menu
reads: “2 SCAN STOP MODE TIME / CARRIER” OR
“2 SCAN STOP MODE TIME / CARRIER”
(3) Repeatedly pressing the ‘2' key on the ‘Direct-Key-
Input’ keypad will cause the reverse video curser to
toggle back and forth between “TIME” and “CAR-
RIER”. Leave the curser on the desired option, and
press ‘9' to exit the menu.
(4) If “TIME” is chosen, the scan will stop on a channel
that has a signal strength that exceeds the
SQUELCH setting, will remain there for 5 seconds,
and will resume scanning. If CARRIER is chosen,
the scan will stop on a carrier that has a signal
strength that exceeds the SQUELCH setting, and
will remain there until the carrier strength drops
below the squelch setting.
INITIATING AND STOPPING THE T.SCAN
(1) Once desired channels have been marked and the
SCAN STOP method has been selected, the T.SCAN
can be initiated by pressing the ‘T.SCAN’ key. This
will initiate the scan and will cause the “MEMO-
RY” or “CHANNEL” entry on their respective dis-
plays to be replaced with “SCAN”
(2) To stop a T.SCAN, simply press the ‘T.SCAN’ key
again.This will cause the scan to stop and the
“MEMORY” or “COUNTRY” labels on their respec-
tive displays to return, replacing “SCAN”.
