WARNINGS
Please read the following precautions to prevent re, personal injury or the radio destruction.
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°C and above + 60°C, the temperature on a vehicle
may sometimes exceed 80°C, 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 o the appliance immediately.
Do not transmit for a long time, the radio may warm up.
Keep the station away from children.
OTHER WARNING:
Before connecting or using this product, please read these operating instructions carefully. Keep this manual
for future reference.
Before using the radio, please connect the antenna, then check the SWR before transmitting. A too high SWR
can cause demage to the CB nal output transistors, which is not covered by the warranty.
The radio does not includes components that can be repaired by the user. Please contact an authorized
service center.
To prevent the risk of re, use only a suitable power supply.
INSTALL THE CB RADIO
• For installation, choose a location as simple and practical as possible.
• The radio station should not disturb the driver or passengers.
• The power and antenna cables should not disturb the driver while driving.
• To install the radio, use the holder and the self-adhesive screws included in the package (4 mm diameter
of drilling). Be careful not to damage the car’s electrical system when drilling the dashboard.
• Do not forget to insert the rubber joints between the radio and its support as these have a shock-absorbing
eect which permits gentle orientation and tightening of the set.
• Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the microphone cord must stretch to
the driver without interferingwith the controls of the vehicle.
• If you install the radio in-board, to improve the sound quality, we recommend installing an external speaker
(the EXT SP connector on the rear panel)
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
• When choosing an antenna, keep in mind that the longer the antenna, the better its results
• Mount the antenna on the dome of the vehicle, on a metal surface
• If you already have a radio antenna installed, the CB antenna must be higher than this one
• There are two types of antennas: the pre-calibrated ones that should be installed on a surface with a good
ground plane and the adjustable ones that cover a larger frequency range and which can be installed on
a smaller ground plane.

• For antennas that are xed by drilling, you need a good contact between the antenna and the table plane.
EN
To get this done, you should lightly scratch the surface on which the screw and nut are tightened.
• Be careful not to pinch or atten the coax cable to avoid the risk of permanent or short-circuit hazards.
• Connect the antenna to the station after it has been placed in the nal position.
• A xed antenna should be installed on as large an area as possible.
POWER CONNECTION
This is protected against an inversion of polarities. However, before switching it on, you are advised to check
all the connections. Your equipment must be supplied with a continued current of 12 volts (A). Today, most cars
and lorries are negative earth. You can check this by making sure that the negative terminal of the battery is
connected either to the engine block or to the chassis.
WARNING: Lorries generally have two batteries to supply a voltage of 24 volts, in which case it will be
necessary to insert a 24/12 volt converter into the electrical circuit. The following connection steps should be
carried out with the power cable disconnected from the set.
To power the radio, follow the steps below:
• Check if the battery has a voltage of 12 V
• Identify the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red, - is black). If it is necessary to extend
the power cord, please use the same type of cable or a superior type of cable.
• It is necessary to connect your radio to a permanent (+) and (-). We advise you to connect the power
cable directly to the battery (as the connection of the cable to the wiring of the car-radio or other parts of
the electrical circuit may, in some cases, increase the possibilities of interference).
• Connect the red wire (+) to the positive end of the battery and the black wire (-) to the negative terminal.
• Connect the power cord to the radio station
WARNING: Never replace the original fuse (5A) by one of dierent value.
BASIC OPERATIONS
1. Connect the microphone
2. Check the antenna connections
3. Turn the set on by turning the volume knob clockwise
4. Turn the squelch knob to minimum(Full-anti clockwise)
5. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level
6. Go to channel 22 EC by using the channel knob
ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (STANDING WAVE RATIO)
WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your radio for the rst time (and whenever you re-position
your antenna). The adjustment must be carried out in an obstacle-free area.
• Connect the SWR meter between the antenna and the CB radio, as close as possible to the radio (use
a maximum 40 cm cable)
• Set the radio to 20 @ EC FM channel
• Place the button on the SWR meter on the CAL or FWD position
• Press the PTT key on the microphone to emit
• Bring index index to position ▼ using the calibration key
• Change the switch to the SWR (SWR level) position. The value of the SWR must be as close as possible
to 1. If you do not, adjust the antenna until you get a value as close to 1. A value between 1 and 1.8 is
acceptable.
• It is necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after each antenna setting
• The station is now ready to be used
