TIMER OPERATION
The E1 includes two programmable event timers allow-
ing the receivers to turn ON or OFF at preset times.The
timers may be used separately or together and may
recall a currently displayed frequency, MEMORY channel,
COUNTRY channel, or a combination of those. In addi-
tion, programming only an OFF time provides a Sleep
timer, and programming only an ON time provides a
Wake timer.
Note that the timers, when activated, respond to the
last displayed clock. Programming the timers is a three
step process. Step one is to set the ON time, and step 2
is to assign the OFF time. Step three is to assign a
MEMORY or COUNTRY channel to a timer.
