Legal and General Information
The legal regulations in some countries demand a printout of our CE Declaration of Conformity in its original
wording (editorial status: February 2009). The latest regulations, announcements and other documentation for this
device are published in the service download area at
www.hobbyradio.de
or
www.alan-albrecht.info
. Please
observe the country-specific regulations when using this device and take the obligatory registration in individual
countries and possible operation restrictions serious! Although entrainment for the device when traveling to other
EU countries is generally permitted according to European law, for its operation still the national regulations apply.
CE- Declaration of Conformity / Konformitätserklärung
We hereby declare that our product: / Wir erklären hiermit, dass unser Produkt
CB-Radio Albrecht AE 5800
satisfies all technical regulations applicable to the product within the scope of EU Council Directives, European Standards and
national frequency applications:/ alle technischen Anforderungen im Geltungsbereich der EU Richtlinien, europäischer Normen
und nationaler Frequenzanwendungen einhält:
EN 301 489-1 V.1.8.1, EN 301 489-13 V1.2.1, EN 60 950-1:2006
Alle für das Produkt vorgeschriebenen Funktestreihen wurden durchgeführt.
This declaration is issued under our sole responsibility. Basing on not harmonized frequency applications, the CB radio may be
used only in listed countries according to selected channel programming. An individual license for operating this radio in AM +
SSB +FM is requested from residents of B, CH, E, FL, I, while travelers may use their radios free of charge and license. In
Germany, France, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland and Portugal
for all users. This radio may be subject of restrictions in other countries, where SSB is not accepted.
Use of additional accessories like Packet Radio modems via MIC socket is only intended to be used in FM mode and may be
restricted to individual channels depending on national frequency allocations.
Diese Erklärung wird unter unserer alleinigen Verantwortung abgegeben. Dieses Funkgerät darf wegen der nicht harmonisierten
Frequenzanwendungen in AM + SSB + FM von Bewohnern von B, CH, E, FL, I nur mit gültigen CB Funkgenehmigung in
Betrieb genommen werden, während ausländische Reisende Ihr Gerät frei benutzen dürfen. In Deutschland, Finnland,
Frankreich, Griechenland, Lettland, den Niederlanden, Polen und Portugal ist die Benutzung für alle Benutzer allgemein
freigegeben und anmelde- und gebührenfrei. Dieses Gerät darf in Ländern, in denen SSB nicht freigegeben ist, nicht
benutzt werden.
Der Anschluss von Audio-Zubehör, wie z.B. Packet Radio Modems, ist nur in der Betriebsart FM vorgesehen, die Benutzung
von Packet Radio kann in einigen Ländern auf bestimmte national freigegebene Kanäle begrenzt sein oder auch generell nicht
gestattet sein.

Preparation for Use
General Use Instructions
This AM-FM-SSB transceiver AE 5800 is a universal CB radio for 12VDC power supply. It an be connected to
powerful 12V batteries, such as rechargeable lead batteries, but also via a suitable 12V power adapter with at least
6A stabilized constant current to 230V mains power supply. Due to its SSB operation, demanding repeated finetuning and delicate operation, the radio is not intended for the use in vehicles when driving.
The radio is intended for intermittent operation with an average transmission time of approx. 10% of its duty cycle,
as it is typical for CB operation. This device is not intended for continuous transmission without regular reception
periods as cooling phases. Avoid subjecting your radio to high humidity, extremely high or low temperatures, dust
and direct sunlight. Only open the casing of your radio if you are knowledgeable in this regard, have the correct
tools and measuring devices.
The device comes with the internationally common CB radio range with 40 channels in all modes AM, FM, USB
and LSB switchable. The Declaration of Conformity according to the new European standard EN 300 433-2 is only
valid, as long as the device is not modified and is used according to this user manual. Any extension of the
frequency range und the use of other channels and modes than permitted in the individual countries may lead to
prosecution.
Connect to Power Supply
Connect your device with the supplied DC cable to a 12V network or a 12V power adapter. Voltage fluctuation
between 11V and 14V for power adapters and max. 15.6V, as in vehicles, campers or boats with rechargeable lead
battery, chargers or alternators, are permissible. Battery and/or power adapter must supply at least 6-8 Ampere
with good stabilization. Do not extend the power cord. In vehicles always try to connect directly to the battery
terminals. In this case you have best immunity against interferences from ignition and alternator and the most
stable supply voltage.
In case the fuse integrated in the DC cable blows, please check the possible cause first (commonly voltage
reversal and a flyback diode has reacted) and replace the fuse only with same type (10 Ampere, American glass
fuse), and never bypass with foil or similar measures!
Connect the red cable to the + terminal, and the black cable to the – terminal of the power source.
The minus terminal for this radio is on the casing, as usual for all modern vehicles. When installing in boats safety
measures against electrolytic and/or galvanic corrosion, such as insulated installation and galvanic insulation of the
antenna connections may be necessary due to the grounding of the casing.
Safety Precautions and Vehicle Installation
The device contains no components that must be accessible for the user during operation. Leave the opening of
the casing to experts. Do not open the casing before disconnecting from 12V power supply. Only work on the
device with dead voltage. For use in vehicles mount your radio with the supplied screws and bracket in a suitable
position. Ensure that no risk of injuries for driver and passengers comes from the mounting position and avoid
close proximity of air vents. Do not use your radio when driving. The device is neither intended not approved for
this kind of operation. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority the device is due to its risk potential only
to be used in parked vehicles.
Select Antenna
Vehicle Antenna
This radio is not to be used with common CB radio makeshift antennae, such as a mini magnetic antenna, window
clip antenna or adhesive window antenna. For electromagnetic compatibility in combination with near electronic
components a powerful vehicle antenna with antenna base earthed via the chassis is to be used. When selecting
the antenna position keep the greatest possible distance to passengers and all vehicle electronics. Avoid the side
of the mudguard as mounting position which is nearer to passers-by on walkways. (this may be the left side in UK
and the right side in continental Europe). Ensure best grounding for antenna base, as this ensures that no HF
reaches the interior of the vehicle via sheath waves.
According to the latest EU directives vehicle manufacturers have the right to stipulate antenna positions and
maximum compatible transmission power for their vehicles. Please observe these guidelines, as you may
otherwise risk loosing the operating license for your vehicle. Ask your vehicle manufacturer for further information.
Have your vehicle manufacturer verify that he has no objections against the CB radio operation in connection with
the vehicle electronics!
