CCRadio-EP PRO

Troubleshooting Guide

The CCRadio-EP PRO will not turn on:

1. Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly.
2. Make sure all the batteries are good.
3. If using the AC Power Adapter, make sure that it is plugged fully into

the power jack.

The CCRadio-EP PRO has poor reception on FM:

1. Fully extend and rotate the FM whip antenna.

2. Adjust the band switch to “FM” instead of “FM ST” which requires a

better signal.

3. Check the “INT/EXT ANTENNA” switch on the back of the radio for

the proper setting.

4. Consider trying a more powerful external FM antenna.

The CCRadio-EP PRO has poor reception on AM, or is receiving 

multiple stations:

1. Rotate the radio for the best reception.
2. Try positioning the TWIN COIL FERRITE

©  

AM FINE TUNING Knob to

the “Normal” position. If the reception still needs improvement, adjust

the knob for the best station tuning accuracy.

3. Adjust the WIDE/NARROW switch to NARROW for best AM audio

clarity.

4. Move the radio away from electronic devices like computers and TV

sets.

5. Use the radio on batteries. Sometimes the interference can be

transmitted to the radio over the AC power lines.

6. Concrete, stucco, brick and metal buildings can greatly reduce radio

reception. Try the radio outdoors; if the reception is improved, try an

external antenna.
