Do not attempt to adjust the radio while driving; is dangerous.
This radio is designed for power supply at 13.8V DC. Do not use a 24V battery to power the radio.
Do not place the station on an excessively dusty, damp or unstable surface.
Do not connect the antenna during transmission, risk of burning or electric shock.
Please keep distance from devices that cause interference (such as TV, generator, etc.)
People who use pacemakers are advised to keep distance from the antenna during transmission and especially not to touch it.
Do not connect metal objects to the internal electrical side; danger of electric shock.
Avoid exposing the radio to temperatures below -30^ and above +60^ , the temperature on a vehicle may sometimes exceed 80^ , which can cause irreparable damage to electric devices. Do not expose the radio to sunlight.
Do not place anything on the radio, it will prevent it from cooling down.
Check to see if you have enough charged battery to avoid rapid discharge.
It is important to stop the radio before starting the engine, to avoid damage caused by high starting voltage.
You must use a 2A 250V fuse type F. Under no circumstances use a higher value.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected as coming from the radio, switch off the appliance immediately.
Do not transmit for a long time, the radio may warm up.
Keep the station away from children.

OTHER WARNING:

INSTALLATION

Check the radio and all accessories before installing.

Power the radio with the cigarette lighter plug included in the package. The radio must be powered at a voltage between 12 - 13.8V. The fuse mounted on the power cord protects the radio against damage caused by technical defects or wrong polarity. If the fuse is blown, first eliminate the cause and then replace it using the F3A 250V type.

Check the connections correctly before starting the radio. Make sure there is no risk of shortcircuit.

Operation with AC Adapter

Operate your radio only at a stabilized radio power supply, which is capable to provide at least 2A at 12 -13.8V DC. Unregulated power supplies or battery chargers are unsuitable and can cause damage. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply, the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the power supply.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

Connect the CB antenna to the ANT socket on the back of your radio. The antenna must be tuned to the CB radio band. For this use a SWR meter. For a good radio range, the SWR should not exceed a value of 2. A high SWR also points to defects in antenna, cable, or a short circuit in the antenna line. Never transmit without connected antenna!.

Note: The radio antenna is to be mounted from other antennas and interference sources as much as possible. CB antennas must be mounted usually in the vehicle highest part on a metal surfaces. A sufficiently large metal surface is essential for the function of the antenna. For installation on a fiberglass cabs or plastic wind deflectors, special ground less antennas can be used.

OPERATION

• Power On/Off the radio: Turn the radio on by turning the knob [6] clockwise. The current standard, then the selected channel, will appear on the screen for one second. Turn knob [6] anti-clockwise to stop the radio.

Note: The radio is preset from the factory on Channel 22, the CE standard.

Volume control: Continue to turn the knob [6] clockwise to adjust the volume to the desired level.
- Channel selection: Press the keys [5] on the radio or the up/down keys on the microphone to change the channel number.
- Squelch level control: Press the [2] key briefly. The current squelch level will appear on the screen. Use the up/down keys to select the desired SQ level (from 0.1 to 2.8) or OF to disable the function.

0.F = Squelch off
0.1 = Lowest Squelch level
2.8 = Highest Squelch level

Note: Higher SQ level require a stronger signal to open the speaker and hear the spo-kesman.

• ASQ control: Long press the [2] key to activate the ASQ function. The "AQ" icon and the current ASQ level will appear on the screen. Use the up/down keys to select the desired ASQ level (from A.1 to A.9). Press the [2] key long to deactivate the ASQ function.

A. 1 = lowest level

A. 9 = highest level

Notes:

Higher DS level require a stronger signal to open the speaker and hear the spokesman.

For automated Squelch, we recommend level A.2 (or A.3 for louder areas).

• Modulation type: Briefly press the [7] key to change between AM and FM. The selected modulation will appear on the screen.

Note: Before modifying the modulation, check the selected standard.

• RF Gain control: Press the [3] key briefly. The "R" icon will appear on the screen and the current RF gain level will blink. Use the up/down keys to change the level (06, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54).

Note: We recommend RFG function disabled (or level 06 for louder areas).

• Emergency channel: Press the [4] key briefly. The channel number 09 blinks on the screen. Press again, the channel number will blink 19 on the screen. Press the third time to return to the normal channel.
  Key Lock: Press long the [4] key. The "LC" icon will appear on the screen. Key lock function is active. Press the [4] key again, OF will appear on the screen. The key lock function is disabled.
