BATTERY CHARGING NOTES AND CAUTIONS
• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!
• The E5 can be played while charging.
• Alarm settings and action are function while charging.
• The AC adapter/charger will not charge the batteries unless the E5
is set to charge mode.
• For improved life of rechargeable batteries, do not repeatedly
charge fully charged batteries.
• When using new rechargeable batteries or ones that have not been
in use for a lengthy period of time, charge them fully, then use
them until they are fully exhausted. Repeat this cycle several more
times to condition the batteries.
• At some point in their life cycle, all rechargeable batteries lose their
ability to charge. When this occurs, it may be all four batteries at
once, or only one of them. When this occurs, replace them all, not
one at a time. Never mix old rechargeable batteries with new and
always start with four, fresh, new Ni-MH batteries.
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!
CAUTION!

Assure that it is unlocked. See lock button instructions below.

POWER/SLEEP button (1).

USING THE SLEEP TIMER FEATURE

The sleep timer feature enables the E-5 to play for a specified number
of minutes (00-99), then shut off. The sleep timer feature can be acti-
vated and programmed with the E-5 turned on or off. Note that in
sleep mode, the radio plays and the sleep symbol (26) appears in the
display. There are two methods to activate and program the sleep
timer. With either method, the sleep symbol (26) appears in the dis-
play after the sleep time is set.
Method 1
1. Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired time (00-99 minutes).
2. Within 3 seconds press the SLEEP button (1). The E5 turns on and
plays for the specified time.
Method 2
1. Press the SLEEP button for about 3 seconds or until the sleep
symbol (26) appears in the display and the E5 turns on.
