8. AS/SQUELCH Control

SQUELCH CONTROL (SQUELCH manual adjustment)

The SQUELCH control allows you to silence the receiver by cutting out the background noise when no signals are

being received. Turn the knob clockwise until the background noise is cut. Turn the knob counter clockwise

(SQUELCH opening) in order to listen to the weakest signals.

AS CONTROL (SQUELCH fixed setting)

The AS function allows you to automatically silence the receiver, avoiding SQUELCH manual adjustment.

A fixed SQUELCH threshold is factory pre-set. To enable the fixed SQUELCH function, turn the knob fully counter

clockwise to the AS position, until a click noise is heard.

9. ON/OFF / VOLUME Control

Use this knob to switch radio ON and OFF, as well as to adjust the receiver volume to the desired level. To adjust the

receiver volume when no signals are being received on the operating channel, open the SQUELCH and then adjust the

receiver volume using the background noise as a reference.

English

Installation

Before installing the main unit in the vehicle, check and select the most convenient location, in order that the radio will be

easy to reach and comfortable to operate, without obstructing any of the vehiclescontrols. Use the supplied

bracket and hardware to install the radio. The bracket screws must be well tightened in order to not become loose with

the vehiclesvibrations. The car mounting bracket can be installed over or below the radio and the radio may be inclined

as desired(whether under dashboard or truck cabin roof installation).

Installation of the Main Unit

Before connecting the radio to the vehicleselectric system, make sure that radio is switched off, with the OFF/VOLUME (9)

knob completely turned counter clockwise at OFF position. The DC power cable (13) of the radio is complete with a fuse

holder with fuse located on the red positive (+) wire. Connect the DC power cable to the vehicleselectric system, with

special attention to correct polarity. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) pole and the black wire to the negative (-) pole

of the vehicleselectric system. Make sure that the wires and terminals are firmly and stably connected, in order to prevent

cables from disconnecting or causing short circuits.

Installation of the

A specific 27MHz CB antenna must be used. Please make sure to carefully install the antenna mount on the vehicle with

Antenna

a good connection to ground. Before connecting the antenna to the radio, it is necessary to check the correct operation

of the antenna with low standing wave ratio (S.W.R.), using an SWR meter. If not, the transmitter circuit of the

radio could be damaged. The antenna should be installed on the highest part of the vehicle, free from obstacles

and as far away as possible from any source of electric or electromagnetic noise. The RF antenna coaxial cable must

not be damaged or pressed on its way between antenna and the radio. The correct operation of the antenna and the low

standing wave ratio (S.W.R.) must be checked periodically. Connect the RF antenna coaxial cable to the antenna

connector (12), located on the rear side of the radio.

Checking Operation of the Radio

Once the radio has been connected to the vehicleselectric system and to the antenna, the correct operation of the system

may be checked. Please proceed as follows :

1) Check that the power cable is correctly connected.

2) Check that the RF antenna coaxial cable is correctly connected.

3) Connect the microphone to the connector (10), located on the front side of the radio.

4) Rotate the AS/SQUELCH (8) knob counter clockwise.

5) Turn the radio on using the ON/OFF/VOLUME (9) knob and adjust the volume to the desired level.

6) Select the desired channel, using the channel selector keys (6, 7).

7) Rotate the AS/SQUELCH (8) knob clockwise, to cut the background noise.

8) Press the PTT (14) key to transmit and release it to receive.

The transceiver will work correctly.
