INDEX INTRODUCERE PAG.3

WARRANTY 15 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 16 INTRODUCTION ALAN 52 MULTI is a small-size portable transceiver which guarantees the best performance during the years even under heavy conditions. What is uni- que to this innovative transceiver is the capability to select any of the Europe- an CB bands with an easy and fast procedure. ALAN 52 MULTI has a built-in Channel Phase Loop synthesizer (PLL) circuit. The wide display can be illuminated and allows the night use. Optional micro- phones can be connected to the equipment thanks to the external mike plug situated on the upper side of the radio. The unit is preset at the factory on the “EC“band , 40CH FM 4W. Important Note Following national regulations have been modified: Residents of Spain and Switzerland need a CB licence in their countries, whi- le visitors may use their CB radios in FM free of licence, for AM they should be able to present their home-country’s licence document or the “Circulation card”. In Italy, even visitors need a valid Italian authorization. Austria does not accept any multi-standard or programmable CB radio. Plea- se respect this requirement and do not use your radio during driving through Austria. In Germany transmitting as a base station on channels 41-80 is restricted in some areas along the country borders. No restrictions apply for mobile use. More details can be obtained from the local BNetzA authority office.13

j. RX/TX: TX=transmit mode; RX=receive mode k. Frequency band selected

7. EMG button: emergency channel. By pressing this button, the unit

automatically skips to Channel 9 (emergency channel). The display will show EMG. It will not be possibile to change accidentally the channel. To cancel this function, press the button again.

8. A/F–LCR button: to select AM mode or FM mode; the modulation
