SWR Knob: Calibrates the meter for Standing Wave Radio (SWR) measurements. NB/ANL Switch: Reduces external noise and interference from vehicle ignition systems. HI/LOW Switch: Hi position increases treble, Low position increases bass. [. . . ] (For more information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide that came with your antenna. ) CB Antenna Tips q A vertically polarized quarter-wavelength whip antenna provides the most reliable operation and greatest range. The shorter loaded type whip antennas are more attractive and compact than the larger full quarterwavelength whip. Although the reduced height decreases possible clearance problems, the shorter antennas may not provide the same transmitting and receiving range possible with the longer ones. q A 3-way combination antenna allows you to operate all three bands (AM, FM, and CB) with one antenna. However, it will provide a shorter transmitting and receiving range than a standard "single band" antenna designed for CB use only. You may also notice a higher SWR with this type of antenna. Connecting an External Speaker (Optional) Connect an optional external speaker to the External Speaker Jack on the rear of the transceiver. For the external speaker, use an 8W speaker with at least a 4-watt rating. When connected, the external speaker automatically disables the internal speaker. The external speaker will provide high performance remote receiver monitoring. Connecting a Public Address (PA) Speaker (Optional) Connect an optional Public Address speaker to the PA Speaker Jack on the back of the transceiver. Be sure the PA speaker is directed away from the microphone to avoid acoustic feedback. When you are operating the PA system with high output level, greater separation and isolation between the microphone and PA speaker may be required to prevent feedback. When this unit is used as a public address system, set the CB/PA Switch to the PA position. MOUNTING THE RADIO TO THE BRACKET 1. Align the mounting holes on both sides of the radio with the holes on the mounting bracket. Insert the mounting knobs and tighten the knobs until the radio is secure. To avoid damaging the radio casing, do not overtighten the knobs. 5 To Receive Be sure that the power source, antenna, and microphone are properly connected before proceeding. Set switch to NB/ANL. Dynamic Squelch Control automatically sets Squelch to the optimal level for stronger transmission and signal clarity. To scan for weaker signals, turn Dynamic Squelch Control off and perform the following steps: 4a. Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise so only strong signals can get through. 4b. Everything gets through - noise, weak signals, and strong signals. 4c. Adjust RF GAIN knob to optimize reception in strong signal areas. 6. Adjust CLARIFIER knob to reduce or eliminate adjacent channel interference. 7. When the channel is clear, press the microphone PTT switch and speak. If the channel is busy, do not transmit until it becomes clear. 7 Multi-Function Meter SWR Meter: Measures SWR (standing wave ratio) of antenna. Use to check antenna system or to adjust your antenna to the proper length. To measure SWR: 1. [. . . ] Warrantor, at its option, may replace the unit with a new or refurbished unit.
