The antenna is one of the most important parts of the equipment. The type of antenna and it s
location has a great effect on the range of operation. Please consider the following criteria for
selecting the best location and installation of your antenna:
> Make sure that the antenna is designed for radio operation on 27 MHz.
> The location of the antenna should be as high as possible without any obstacles nearby.
> The aerial cable should not be damaged and the plugs should be properly connected.
> Make sure that the antenna cable is not bent too strong.
> The bigger the mechanical size of the antenna, the higher the range of operation.

Specifications54
When you install a mobile antenna please note the following advice:
> The antenna should be fixed in the centre of a bigger part of the coachwork.
> The mobile antenna coil should have the closest possible contact with a conducting metallic
surface of the bodywork of the car.
There are also some other possibilities to fix the antenna onto the car without the necessity
to drill a hole into the bodywork of your car, for example mounting the antenna onto the gutter, mounting the antenna onto a holder on the cover of the boot or using an antenna with a
magnetic foot or using a windscreen antenna.
For base-station operation we recommend a stationary antenna on the roof, for example the
TEAM ECO 050 or ECO 200.
> Please don't mount the CB antenna nearby a radio or TV antenna to prevent interference
of radio or TV reception.
> Keep an eye on power lines running along nearby when mounting the antenna on the roof.
" DANGER "
> The base-station antenna has to be connected via a lightning arrester.
> All connected cables including the antenna cable must not exceed a length of 3 m.
2) Aerial Connection
Before pressing the transmit key, a suitable aerial must be connected. The PL259 plug of the
aerial cable ( coax ) is connected to the SO239 socket ( 21 ) on the rear panel. Make sure,
that all plugs are firmly tightened and properly soldered. Unsatisfactory connections can damage the radio and will reduce the range of operation.
The antenna should be matched with the radio, otherwise a part of the transmit power will be
reflected at the antenna and will not be radiated. This causes also a drop in the range of operation. The matching can be carried out by a length adjustment of the antenna radial for a minimal SWR ratio which can be measured by a SWR meter ( e. g. TEAM SWR 1180P ). After
the measurement the SWR meter should be removed from the antenna line.
3) Installation in the car
When you want to fix the unit in your car, you can either fasten it with the help of the included mounting bracket below the dashboard, or insert it into a car radio slot by using the included inserting frame. Always mount the transceiver where the switches are easily accessible.
Other important points of view for the correct mounting position are:
1415
Page 4
ENGLISHENGLISH
> no interference of the roadworthiness,
> good access of the controls of the car,
> sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating of the radio in transmit mode.
Please take into account that the LC display ( 6 ) is only good readable from a certain angle.
An intensive solar irradiation can also affect the readability of the display. So it is recommended to check the best position before the final installation. The unit can easily be fixed onto
different positions in the car by using the enclosed mounting bracket.
4) Microphone DM-106S
Plug the microphone ( 1 ) into the 6 pin socket ( 10 ) on the front panel. Note it will only go in
one way round. No transmission and receiving is possible without the microphone. The pin
assignment of the GDCH standard microphone plug is given below:
PIN 1 Modulation
PIN 2 Loudspeaker
PIN 3 PTT
PIN 4 Up/Down
PIN 5 Ground
PIN 6 +12 Volt
Solder side view of the microphone connector or top view of the microphone plug.
The standard microphone DM-106S, which is equipped with channel selection and signal
tone, is included with the RoadCOM. This microphone is the best selection for the RoadCOM.
If you want to use instead another microphone than the supplied DM-106S, you have to ensure that the microphone capsule remains also in released PTT key position connected with the
modulator input of the transceiver. Otherwise the VOX function ( voice activated control of the
transmitter ) of the RoadCOM cannot work.
5) Power source
Before connecting the unit to a suitable power source via the enclosed fused DC power cable,
the device must be switched off by turning the volume control ( 7 ) [ Vol / Off ] anticlockwise
as far as the stop and hearing a switching sound. Now connect the power cable to the connector ( 22 ) on the rear panel. To protect the transceiver against wrong polarity, the cable
plug fits only in one way into the connector ( 22 ).
Then connect the two naked leads at the other end of the cable with the supply voltage of the
car/lorry battery. The unit is designed to operate with 12 volts or 24 volts and a negative
ground electrical system. Lay the cable as far as possible away from aggregates which can
cause interference. Watch for the correct polarity during the connection.
BLACKconnect to - MINUS / ground of the car battery.
REDconnect to 12/24 volts + PLUS of the car/lorry battery.
If the power source is not disconnected after putting the engine off, the last settings will
remain stored, after the unit and the car are switched off.
For base-station operation use a suitable power supply ( 13.2 V / 2.5 A, e. g. TEAM LabNT
series ). The power supply should be designed for operation with a transceiver, otherwise
interference from the mains or over-voltage may occur.
After microphone, aerial and power source have been correctly connected, radio operation
can be undertaken.
1) Switching on [ Vol / Off ]
Before switching the unit set the squelch control ( 8 ) [ SQ / Asq ] to the counterclockwise
stop but without activating the internal switch. The device is switched on by turning the volume control ( 7 ) [ Vol / Off ] clockwise to the centre position. The symbols are shown at the
LC display ( 6 ) and the LCD backlight is illuminated. When being switched on after a disruption of the supply source the unit works on channel number 9 in FM mode and the LCD backlight is illuminated in orange or blue. Adjust the receiver sound with the volume control to the
desired level.
All settings, which are made during operation of the transceiver, remain memorised after the
unit is switched off, as long as the power supply is not disrupted.
2) Squelch [ SQ / Asq ]
The strong background noise, which occurs always on free channels, can be suppressed by
the squelch function. By turning the squelch control ( 8 ) [ SQ / Asq ] slowly clockwise you
will find a point where the noise disappears. The squelch control should only be turned up far
enough to stop the background noise on an unused channel. Turning the control further clockwise will increasingly suppress stronger interfering signals as well as weak stations.
The automatic squelch [ Asq ] can be activated by turning the squelch control counterclockwise until the control clicks. In this position the normal squelch function is switched off and
the squelch threshold is set to default.
3) Confirmation tones
In reception mode all entries made by the keys, except the VOX function On/Off switch ( 13 ),
the PTT key ( 4 ) [ PTT ] and the call tone key ( 5 ) [ SIGNAL ] will be confirmed with a short
receipt tone. If you want to switch off the tones, press the channel scanning key ( 15 )
[ Scan ] for about 2 to 3 seconds, until a second, short receipt tone comes from the speaker.
Now, the unit will be silent, if any keys are pressed.
In the same way, the receipt tones can be reactivated.
4) Channel selection [ S ] [ T ]
All channels can be selected by pushing the channel selector keys ( 2 ) [ S ] and ( 3 ) [ T ]
at the microphone, or by turning the rotary channel selector ( 9 ) [ Channel ] on the front panel
to the desired channel. The channel will be displayed on the LCD ( 6 ) with big digits and the
frequency with small digits. No channel selection is possible while the radio is in TX mode.
The channels step in a ring like system. That means you go from the highest channel number to channel 1 and vice versa. For communication with a partner CB station, both transceivers must be adjusted to the same channel and the same modulation type.
5) Audio reproduction sound selection [ Hi / Lo ]
The RoadCOM is equipped with an audio reproduction sound toggle key ( 18 ) [ Hi / Lo ].
When being switched on after a disruption of the supply source the receiving sound is set to
mellow, which is indicated in the LCD by the symbol "LO". By pushing the audio reproduction
sound key ( 18 ) [ Hi / Lo ] the receiving tone is changing to a bright sound in the loudspeaker. This is indicated in the LCD window by the symbol "HI". By pushing the sound key again,
the receiving tone is changed back to mellow, indicated by the symbol "LO".

6) LCD background illumination [ B ]
By pressing briefly the LCD illumination toggle key ( 16 ) [ B ] you can change the LCD backlight illumination colour from orange to blue and vice versa. If you depress the LCD illumination toggle key ( 16 ) [ B ] for about 2 to 3 seconds, the LCD backlight illumination switches
itself completely off. In the same way the LCD backlight illumination can be recovered again.
9) Transmitting
To transmit depress and hold the key ( 4 ) [ PTT ] on the microphone ( 1 ). ). At the LCD the
symbol "TX" appears, and the bar meter at the bottom of the display shows the relative transmit signal strength. The sensitivity of the microphone ( 1 ) has been set to give good results
speaking normally at a distance of 2 - 4 inches. Speaking too loudly will cause distortions and
make the signal difficult to understand. While the set is in the transmit mode there is no key
7) Modulation selection [ Mode ]
The RoadCOM can work in AM or in FM modulation. At certain settings it works only in FM
entry possible and the receiver is muted. On completion of the transmission release the PTT
key ( 4 ) and the set will revert to receiving mode.
mode. When being switched on after a disruption of the supply source the unit works on channel number 9 in FM mode which is indicated the symbol "FM". If the unit accepts also the
modulation type AM on the actual channel, you can toggle it by pressing the key ( 12 ) [ Mode ]
between the modulation types AM and FM. The selected AM mode will be indicated by the
symbol "AM". If the unit does not accept the modulation type AM on the actual channel, you
10) Call tone
If you press the transmit key ( 4 ) [ PTT ] and the call key ( 5 ) [ SIGNAL ] at the same time
on the microphone ( 1 ), a call tone will be transmitted and can be heard only by the partner
station, provided it is switched on the same channel and the same modulation type.
will only hear a receipt tone, but it remains on the modulation type FM.
If the unit is set to AM on the actual channel, and you select another channel, on which the
AM mode is inhibited, the modulation changes automatically to FM mode. If you select once
more another channel, on which the AM mode is allowed again, the modulation switches
automatically to back to AM mode.
With the model type "RoadCOM uk Multi Norm" , you can toggle between the EU band and
the UK band, which is indicated by symbol "EU" or "UK", by pressing the key ( 12 ) [ Mode ]
If the actual model type of the RoadCOM is the "RoadCOM-uk", you can only work in FM
mode. By pressing the key ( 12 ) [ Mode ] you can toggle the unit between the EU band and
the UK band, which is indicated the symbol "EU" or "UK". When being switched on after a
disruption of the supply source the unit works on channel number 9 in the UK band. The CB
band EU consists of the 40 CEPT channels. The CB band UK consists of 40 channels starting from 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz. It is permitted only in Great Britain. After switching
it off, the unit stores the last channel of the actual band and also of that band, which is actually not in use, as long as the power source remains connected.
11) Channel memory keys [ 1 - 4 ]
The RoadCOM can store up to 4 frequently used channels and their modulations. The default
settings of the memories 1 - 4 are the channels 1, 9, 19 and 40 in FM mode. These memories can be overwritten with other channel numbers and modulation types. In case of data
loss the default settings will be stored in the memories again.
If you want to save a new channel you have to select it first with the channel selector switch
( 9 ) [ Channel ] or the channel selector keys ( 2 ) [ S ] and ( 3 ) [ T ]. Then adjust the desired modulation type. Then depress one of the memory keys ( 11 ) [ 1 - 4 ] for about 3 to 4
seconds until a second receipt tone and a short flashing of the channel number and the channel frequency indicate the overwriting of the new channel number and modulation type into
the corresponding memory.
If you want to recall a memorised channel and the corresponding modulation type you have
to depress briefly one of the memory keys ( 11 ) [ 1 - 4 ]. On the left side of the display the
actual memory number is displayed behind a "M" in case of data storage or recall. The memory number indication disappears by selecting a new channel.
8) Version selection [ 4040 / 8012 / 4000 ]
The RoadCOM type distributed in Great Britain is called "RoadCOM-uk Multi Norm", and it is
equipped with the facility to be turned into one of the three different versions "8000uk", "4040"
and "8012" by the end-user. The three-stage push-switch ( 25 ) [ 8000uk / 4040 / 8012 ] on
the rear panel serves for this end.
> In the position "8000uk" the unit works on two frequency bands EU and UK and only with
the modulation type FM. The transmit power is 4 W . The version "8000uk" is allowed for use
in Great Britain only. In other countries the version "8000uk" is not allowed.
12) Last channel recall [ LCR ]
By a brief depressing on the key ( 17 ) [ LCR ] the transceiver will return to that channel and
that modulation type, to which it was adjusted, when the PTT key was pressed the last time.
The actual channel and the actual modulation type will be stored temporarily in a register. If
you press on the key ( 17 ) [ LCR ] once again, the unit will skip back to the previously selected channel and modulation type stored in the register, provided, that you did not change the
channel and/or the modulation type in the meantime.
> In the position "4040" the unit works only on the 40 CEPT channels, but it allows on every
channel both modulation types FM and AM. The transmit power in FM is 4 W and in AM 1
W. In Germany the version "4040" is allowed for use in FM mode on all 40 channels, but in
AM mode only on 12 channels, i.e. channel 4 - 15. In the following countries the unit is allowed to be used on every channel in both modulation types FM and AM: Belgium, France,
Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
> In the position "8012" the unit works on all 80 German CB channels in FM mode, and it
accepts only on 12 channels additionally also the AM mode, i.e. on channel 4 - 15. The
transmit power in FM is 4 W and in AM 1 W. The version "8012" is allowed for use in
Germany only. Here the user can select all 80 FM channels and all possible AM channels.
13) Priority Channel 9 / 19 [ CH9 ]
The version “8000uk” is equipped with the priority channels 9 and 19. Priority channel 9 is selected by pressing the key ( 20 ) [ CH9 ] once. To set priority channel 19, press the key ( 20 ) [ CH9 ]
twice. When a priority channel is set, the channel and the frequency will blink in the display and
all function keys including the rotary channel selector are disabled. Only transmission and activation of the VOX function are possible. To return to the previous channel, press the key
( 20 ) [ CH9 ] once, if priority channel 19 has been selected, or twice, if priority channel 19 has
been set. Once returned to regular mode, all functions will be enabled again.
All other versions are only equipped with the priority channel 9.
In other countries the version "8012" is not allowed.
Refer to the unit's passport of the "RoadCOM-uk Multi Norm" for information about the permissions and restrictions for the use of the different versions in the different countries.

ENGLISHENGLISH
14) Channel scanning [ Scan ]
If this function is active, the unit looks for occupied channels. As this function does not work with
open squelch, set the squelch control ( 8 ) [ SQ / Asq ] according to para "2" before activating
the scan function.
Depress the key ( 15 ) [ Scan ] briefly to start the channel scan. Now the channels are stepping upwards and the scan symbol "SC" appears on the LCD screen. The scan function stops
on the next channel on which a signal opens the squelch. It is terminated at this moment,
( 3 ) and the rotary channel selector ( 9 ). Thus it is also impossible to stop most activated
functions. Only transmission is possible. The function remains even active if the unit is switched off in the meantime, provided that the supply voltage remains connected.
To deactivate the key lock function depress the key ( 19 ) [ Dual Watch / ] once again and
hold it for a short period, until you will hear 2 seconds later a second short receipt tone which
indicates that the key lock function is deactivated now. At the same time the key symbol " "
disappears from the display. Now the keys are released again.
which is indicated by the extinction of the scan symbol "SC".
For a premature deactivation of the scan function, depress the key ( 15 ) [ Scan ] once again,
any other key on the front panel, except the VOX function On/Off switch ( 13 ), or press the
Up/Down keys ( 2, 3 ) or the PTT key ( 4 ) on the microphone, or just turn at the rotary channel switch ( 9 ) [ Channel ]. Then the scan symbol "SC" will disappear from the display, and
the actual channel will be that one, on which the channel number was just standing at the
moment of deactivation of the scan function.
17) VOX function
The VOX function is a voice activated control of the transmitter. That means talking into the
microphone will make the transceiver turn automatically to transmit mode. Thus keeping the
PTT key on the microphone depressed during sending out a message becomes unnecessary . To prevent an unwanted transmission the VOX circuit in the RoadCOM is coupled with the
squelch circuit of the receiver. This has the effect, that the voice activated switching on of the
transmitter by sound signals from the microphone can only take place, when the squelch is
15) Dual watch function [ Dual Watch / ]
This function allows you to watch activity on two channels at a time. Before activating this
function make sure that the squelch is closed on free channels.
First select the first survey channel by means of the rotary channel switch ( 9 ) [ Channel ]
or the Up/Down keys ( 2 ) [ T ] and ( 3 ) [ S ] on the microphone and its modulation. Then
depress briefly the key ( 19 ) [ Dual Watch / ] so that the dual watch symbol "DW" flashes
in the LCD window. Now select the second survey channel by means of the rotary channel
( 9 ) switch or the Up/Down keys ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) on the microphone and its modulation. Then
depress briefly the key ( 19 ) [ Dual Watch / ] once again so that the dual watch symbol
"DW" appears constantly, which means that means that the dual watch function is finally activated now. Make sure that the second pressure on the dual watch key occurs within 23
seconds after the first one, otherwise the DW function will be aborted, which will be indicated
by the extinction of the flashing dual watch symbol "DW" in the display.
If on none of both survey cannels is received any signal, the unit will step from one channel
to the other two times every second. If on one of these channels is received a signal, which
opens the squelch, the unit will remain on it until the channel is free again. 7 seconds later
the unit will continue stepping from one channel to the other like before.
If you press briefly the key ( 19 ) [ Dual Watch / ] another time, the dual watch symbol
"DW" will flash again in the LCD window. Now you can select another second survey channel by means of the rotary channel switch ( 9 ) or the Up/Down keys ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) on the
microphone and its modulation. That channel, on which the unit was, while the dual watch key
was pressed, is the first survey channel now.
To deactivate the dual watch function and to stay on the actual channel, depress twice briefly the
closed at the same time. Therefore make sure that the squelch is closed on free channels
before you activate the VOX function. this function.
To activate the VOX function depress the button of the VOX function On/Off switch ( 13 ) on
the left side of the front panel until it latches. If now the actual channel is free and the squelch
is closed, the red standby LED of the VOX function ( 14 ) [ VOX ] lights up. This indicates that
the unit is ready for radio operation with the VOX function now.
If you speak loud enough into the microphone, the unit will switch itself automatically to transmit
mode, which will be indicated by the symbol "TX" on the LCD. The LED ( 14 ) [ VOX ] remains
alight also in transmit mode. During your message it may occur, that the actual loudness of your
voice falls below the volume level, which is necessary for the VOX function to make the unit
switch to transmit mode. If the duration of those periods of low speech level remains below a certain time, which is called the VOX delay time, the unit will stay in transmit mode. If the duration
of those periods exceeds the VOX delay time, the unit returns to the receive mode. In this
moment the LED ( 14 ) [ VOX ] switches itself briefly off and on again.
If the squelch is open for some reasons, the LED ( 14 ) [ VOX ] will be dark, even with activated
VOX function. One reason for an open squelch could be that there is a station on the channel,
for example the partner station. Another reason could be that the noise level has increased so
that the squelch remains open also on a free channel. In this case the unit will
not switch itself to transmit mode by talking into the microphone, no matter how loud you speak.
The unit can be switched to transmit mode by the help of the transmit key on the microphone at every time, also with active VOX function.
To deactivate the VOX function depress the button of the VOX function On/Off switch ( 13 )
until it is released.
dual watch key ( 19 ), any other key on the front panel, except the VOX function On/Off switch
( 13 ) or press the Up/Down keys ( 2 ) and ( 3 ), or just turn at the rotary channel switch ( 9 ).
Transmitting is possible on the actual channel but it does not terminate the dual watch function.
As a token of the deactivation of the DW function the dual watch symbol "DW" will disappear from the display.
18) External speaker jack
The RoadCOM is equipped with a 3.5 mm jack socket ( 23 ) at the rear panel to connect an external speaker of 4 - 8 ohm impedance. At 4 ohms the speaker load can be 4 watts ( e.g. TEAM
TS-500 ). When the external speaker is connected, the internal speaker will be switched off.
16) Key lock function [ ]
If you press the dual watch or key lock key ( 19 ) [ Dual Watch / ] and hold it for a short
period, you will hear 2 seconds, after starting to press, a second short receipt tone which
announces that the key lock function is active. The key lock function is also indicated with a
key symbol " " in the LCD window. Now the unit ignores any entry from any key on the front
panel, except the VOX function On/Off switch ( 13 ), and also the Up/Down keys ( 2 ) and
2021
19) Signal meter internal/external
The bar meter in the LCD window shows in reception mode the signal strength of a received signal ( S value ), and in transmit mode the signal strength of the transmit signal. There is also a 2.5
mm jack socket ( 24 ) at the rear panel of the RoadCOM to connect an external S-meter with a
2.5 mm plug ( e. g. TEAM SM 930 ). It can show the S values more exactly. Please note that the
external S-meter shows only the relative field strength of the incoming signal.

Additional information
1) Safety instruction
Drivers must keep attention about traffic rules by using the transceiver in a vehicle. Drivers
should use an assembly for handsfree radio operation while driving, for example the VOX
function or a handsfree microphone set like TEAM DM-106VOX.
The unit radiates RF energy in transmit mode. Please keep an eye on safety distance to the
antenna.
2) General precautions
Protect the set from humidity and dust. Do not store at places where the temperature may
rise and cause damage, for example in the sun. The set can be cleaned by wiping with a soft
cloth. Do not use chemical products to clean the set.
3) Servicing
The device must not be opened. Independent repairs or adjustment must not be carried out,
since each modification or unauthorised intervention will result in the cancelling of the operating permit and of the warranty and repair claims. Do not use the set if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the set in this case from the DC power source immediately. If there
is a defect, the authorised TEAM specialist dealer or TEAM must be contacted in every case.
