SAFETY INFORMATION
The CB-320 is a radio transmitting device.
yWhen transmitting, keep the antenna more than 25 mm from any part of the head
or body.
yDo not transmit near electrical blasting equipment or in explosive atmospheres.
yDo not allow children to operate a radio transmitter unsupervised.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA Radio
communications (Citizens Band radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by
the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED). A General User Radio
Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is subject to conditions contained in
those licences.
The class licence for users and equipment operating in the CB/PRS 477 MHz band
has been amended. This radio meets the new 80 channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available; however, radio transceivers can now operate in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These
radios are generally referred to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By using 12.5 kHz
channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40 channels originally allocated can now be
expanded to 80 channels thereby doubling the channel capacity and relieving congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
Original 40 channel wideband radios will continue to operate on the original 40
channels, however they will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41 –
80. The newer narrowband radios will be able to converse with all older 40 channel
wideband radios on all channels 1 – 40 as well as the newer channels allocated
from 41 – 80.
The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the same spectrum can cause
some possible operating issues of interference and varying levels of received volume.
PAGE 2
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CB-320
POSSIBLE ISSUES
When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio
the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for best
performance.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CB-320
PAGE
3
When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio, the
speech may sound quiet – simply adjust your radio volume for best performance.
Depending on how close your receiving radio is to another transmitting radio, there
can be interference from the transmitting radio if it is using a channel adjacent to the
channel you are listening to. Simply try going up or down a few channels from the
currently selected channel.
The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of operating wideband and narrowband radios in the same bandwidth. This possible interference will
decrease over time as the population of wideband radios ages and decreases.
Further information and updates are available from the Australian Communications
and Media Authority (ACMA) at
Development (MED), Radio Spectrum Management at:
EMERGENCY CHANNELS
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use only. Channel 5 is the
primary Simplex Emergency Channel. Where a channel 5 repeater is available, you
should select Duplex on channel 5.
Channel 35 is the input channel for the channel 5 repeater therefore channel
NOTE:
35 should also not be used for anything other than emergency transmissions.
TELEMETRY CHANNELS
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23 for telemetry-only applications
and have prohibited the transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently the
radio has a transmit-inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23.
In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by the
ACMA, these channels shall be added to those currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited. Currently, transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved for future allocation.

CHARGING THE CB-320 SINGLE UNIT
The CB-320 is supplied with a 240V Ac adaptor. The Ac adaptor will charge a fully discharged 1300mAh battery pack to full capacity in around 4 hours.
To charge the radio
1. Plug the Ac adaptor into a 240V Ac outlet
2. Plug the micro USB connector into the charging socket on the back of the desktop
charger.
3. Put the CB-320 into the desktop charger as picture below.
Ensure that your radio is switched off.
NOTE:
The radio will begin charging. During this time the desktop charger’s LED will light RED.
Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator LED will change to GREEN.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
While the battery is charging, the indicator LED on the desktop charger will light
NOTE:
red. Once the battery is fully charged, the desktop charger’s indicator LED will
change to Green.
BATTERY USAGE
The time taken to discharge the battery pack will depend on how you use the radio. The
battery pack supplied is powerful enough for up to 20 hours of use under average conditions using low power.
BATTERY LOW ALERT
When the battery icon blinks on the radio’s display, the battery level is low and the battery pack should be recharged.
CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
The radio has built-in power saving features to help you get the maximum amount of
time between charges from your li-ion battery pack. If you need to operate your radio in
a situation where you require maximum battery life (e.g. a remote site where there is no
convenient recharging facility nearby) the following hints can greatly reduce the amount
of power drawn from the battery pack.
STANDBY MODE
The radio will automatically enter the ‘standby’ mode when it is inactive (i.e. not transmitting or receiving signals).
While in standby mode it will still check for incoming signals but it will draw considerably
less power from the battery pack. As soon as a signal is heard or the keys are pressed
the radio will ‘wake up’ again. This standby mode is automatic and by itself can extend
the battery life by many hours.
USING CTCSS/DCS
If you are expecting to receive signals on a busy channel, you can program that channel
for CTCSS/DCS operation and get the other person to call you using the same CTCSS/
DCS tone. Your radio will then remain in standby and ignore all other signals until your
selected CTCSS/DCS tone is received.
PAGE 10
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CB-320
SCANNING
The radio draws more power from the battery pack when scanning than when monitoring a single channel. This is because it must ‘wake up’ more often to monitor each
channel for activity. In addition, scanning increases the chance of nding a signal thereby
keeping the receiver ‘awake’ and the squelch open more often.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CB-320
PAGE
11
LOW TRANSMIT POWER SETTINGS
The transmitter has both high and low power settings. If you are only operating over
short distances, are in a reasonably high location or are close to a local repeater, try
using the low transmitter power setting. This reduces the transmitter power to 1 watts
which increases the talk time available.
BASIC OPERATION
POWER ON/OFF
Rotate the Volume control clockwise past the ‘click’ to turn the radio on. Rotate the Volume control counter-clockwise past the click to turn the radio off again.
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
With the unit powered on, rotate the Volume control clockwise to increase the volume
and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
DISPLAY LIGHTING
The LCD backlighting activates automatically whenever one of the four keys on the front
face panel is pressed and turns off automatically after 10 seconds.
RECEIVING SIGNALS
When a signal is received, the LED indicator on the upper center of the radio will light
BLUE. Adjust the Volume control for a comfortable listening level.
If the incoming signal is encoded with a CTCSS or DCS tone matching the one set in your
radio, you will be able to hear the signal in the speaker. If the LED indicator lights BLUE
but you cannot hear the signal, it is likely that the incoming signal is using a different
CTCSS or DCS tone to that selected in your radio (see menu options for more details on
setting CTCSS/DCS tones).
If the selected channel in your radio is not using a CTCSS/DCS tone but the in-
NOTE:
coming signal is encoded with a CTCSS/DCS tone, your radio will still be able to
listen.
If no further signals are received, the unit will return to standby mode after a few seconds.

DUPLEX OPERATION
Duplex operation allows the radio to transmit on a different frequency to that which it
receives. This allows operation through repeater stations in your area. Repeaters automatically re-transmit your signal over a much wider area, providing greatly increased
range. The Duplex mode only works on designated repeater channels 1 – 8 and 41 – 48.
With Duplex selected on one of these channels, your radio actually transmits 30 channels
higher than it receives.
e.g. If Duplex is selected on channel 1, your radio will receive on channel 1 but will transmit on channel 31.

DOWN
The Scan mode will reduce the overall battery life because the Standby (battery sav-
TIP:
er) feature is overridden. If the battery is running low you should avoid scanning to
conserve power.
CTCSS AND DCS
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) are
similar Squelch quieting systems that allow groups of users to share the same channel
without disturbing each other. The CTCSS system uses 1 of 50 low frequency tones to
open and close the Squelch on the radio. The DCS system is similar to CTCSS but uses 1
of 104 digital codes to control the Squelch. When CTCSS or DCS is enabled on your radio, only signals that are using the same code as your radio will be heard in the speaker
and the Squelch will remain closed to all other signals.
CTCSS and DCS codes do not prevent others from hearing your transmission.
NOTE:
CTCSS/DCS tones are switched off by default. To use CTCSS/DCS you must rst enable
a suitable CTCSS/DCS code using the Menu (see Menu options for more details). Your
choice of CTCSS or DCS will largely depend on which is currently being used by other
radios in your group. If neither system is currently in use, you can make your own choice.
There is no difference in performance between the two systems. Once a CTCSS or DCS
code has been enabled, the display will show
CT
(for CTCSS) or
DCS
(for DCS).
