The CCRadio SW will not turn on:

The CCRadio SW has poor reception on FM and SW:
1. Check the FM/SW ANTENNA switch on the right side of the radio for the proper setting.
2. Check the position of the AM SENSITIVITY switch for LOCAL or DISTANT setting.
3. Check the position of the AM RF GAIN control. It should be fully clockwise.
The CCRadio SW has poor reception on AM:
1. Check the position of the AM RF GAIN control. It should be fully clockwise.
2. Rotate the radio for the best reception.
3. Concrete, brick, and metal buildings can greatly reduce radio reception. Try the radio out-
side. If the reception is improved, add an external AM antenna like C. Cranes Twin Coil
Ferrite
AM Antenna or see feature a on page 20.
I changed the AM Tuning Steps from 10 kHz to 9 kHz, but my radio does not respond:
You must press the RESET to activate the change. To press the RESET, use the end of a
paperclip and push it into the hole briefly.
