To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight.

1.

Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws and at washers.

2.

Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws



Double check that all screws are tightened to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.

Mobile Operation

In some cars,the 12V plug is always powered. If this is the case, you cannot use it for the ignition key on/off function.

The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.

7.

When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON (Start) position with the radio turned off, the power switch illuminates. The illumination will be turned off when the ignition key is turned to the off position.

1.

Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.



We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.



The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables.

2.

After installing cable, to avoid the risk of moisture, please use heat-resistant tape to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to reinforce whole cable.

3.

In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please remove negative (-) terminal of battery, then connect with radio.

4.

Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black connects to the negative (-) terminal.



Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable.

5.

Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.

optional 12V Plug cable. Connect one of the cables between the ACC terminal or a 12v Plug that operates with the vehicle ignition or ACC switch on the vehicle and EXT POWER jack on the rear side of the unit.

Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible.

Initial Installation



Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver, be sure to switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.



Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.

In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included). Please contact your local dealer to purchase.

The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12A.

1.

Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct. (Red: positive, Black: negative).



Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.



Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply (not supplied).



Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.

2.

Connect the transceiver's DC power connector to the connector on the DC power cable.



Press the connectors rmly together until the locking tab clicks.

To turn on the unit, press the power switch manually while it is illuminated. (While ignition key is at ACC or ON position)

8.

When the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON position with the radio's power switch on, the unit turns on automatically and the power switch will be lit. Turn the ignition key to OFF position or manually turn the power switch off to shut down the radio.

9.

When using extra cable, power consumption: 5 mAH.

10.

Without this function, user can turn on/off radio by Power knob.

Initial Installation

Replacing fuses

If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized Crystal M dealer or an authorized Crystal M service center for assistance.

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the transceiver could be damaged.

Before operating, install an efcient, well-tuned antenna. The success of

your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention.

Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, to match the transceiver input

impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having

an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna

system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.

If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become

discharged, and will not have sufcient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid

using the transceiver in these conditions.

Antenna Connection

Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.

All xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and transceiver damage.

The possible locations of antenna on a car are shown as following:

Licenses for Repeater Channels 44 & 45 will not be licensed for an additional 6 to 12 months to allow extra time for owners of Channel 5 Emergency repeaters to upgrade equipment to meet the new standards. Channels 1 to 8 and 41 to 48 - Repeater Channels Press the DUPLEX button on your radio to used any available repeaters. Channel 5 & 35 - Emergency use only - Monitored by Volunteers, No general conversations are to take place on this channel. Channels 22 & 23 - Data transmissions only (Excluding Packet). Channels 31 to 38 and 71 to 78 - Repeater inputs - Do not use these channels for simplex transmissions as you will interfere with conversations on channels 1 to 8 and 41 to 48. The Australian Government has legislated

that channels 5 & 35 on the UHF CB Band are reserved for emergency use only. As at January 2007 the maximum penalties for the misuse of the legally allocated CB emergency channels are: For general misuse - if an individual 2 years imprisonment, otherwise $165,000 (a $220 on-the-spot ne can be issued in minor cases); or For interference to an Emergency call - if an individual 5 years imprisonment, otherwise $550,000.

Australian Broardcasting Requirements

Transmit and Receive Procedure

Medical Devices

Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/ uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure: • Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

• To receive calls, release the PTT button.

• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).

Unauthorised antennas, modications, or attachments could damage

the radio and violate compliance. Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces the effective range. Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna makes contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care facilities.

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Radio Operation and EME Exposure

Electromagnetic Iterference/Compatability

Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15cm) be maintained between a radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

People with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.

• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket (Handheld Radio).

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.

• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Aircraft

Hearing Aids

Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

General Warnings & Precautions

The talk range will depend on your surroundings and environment it will be affected by obstructions such as hills or buildings.Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating radios indoors or in vehicles.

Your DB477I is simplex “one way at a time”. While you are speaking, you can not receive a transmission.

Your DB477I is on an open-license band. Always identify yourself when transmitting on the same channel.

IMPORTANT: Before transmitting on a UHF channel listen to ensure it is not already in use.

The unit is continuously in the Receive mode when the unit is turned ON and not transmitting. When a signal is received on the current channel, “RX” icon will be displayed on the LCD screen. a. Press and hold the PTT (Push to Talk) button to transmit your voice. The transmit signal icon “TX” will display on the LCD screen. b. Hold the unit in a vertical position with the Mic (Microphone) 5 cm away from the mouth. While holding the PTT button, speak into the microphone in a normal tone of voice. c. Release the PTT button when you have finished transmitting.

For others to receive your transmission, they must be on the same channel as you.

You can use the CALL button to send a tone to other users on the same channel. To activate this feature; a. With the unit in normal mode, press and release the CALL button. The unit will transmit a 2-second page tone to the other unit/s set with the same channel within transmitting range. NOTE: This function is only possible every 60 seconds.

This is a tone which is automatically transmitted whenever the PTT button is released. This alerts the receiving party that you have ended the transmission, and you are now in receive mode.

Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving, it is dangerous.

This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V DC power supply. Don't use a 24V battery to power on the transceiver.

Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty, humid or wet areas, nor unstable surfaces.

Please keep it away from interferential devices (such as TV, generator etc.).

Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight nor place it close to heating appliances.

If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately. Contact a Crystal service agent or your dealer.

Please observe the following precautions to prevent re, personal injury,

or transceiver damage:

Australian Broardcasting Requirements

Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as emergency channels and should be used only in an emergency. CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35.

A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to call others and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations should move to another unused “SIMPLEX” channel to allow others to use the calling channel.

Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice communications are not allowed on these channels by law. Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in Simplex mode.
