In TX mode, it controls the microphone amplification.
To get the best results, use the microphone and set the optimum position for both the distance
from your mouth and for the amplification level, asking to your partner when the modulation
comes out better.

INSTALLATION

Safety and convenience are the primary consideration for
mounting any piece of mobile equipment. All controls must readily
available to the operator without interfering with the movements
necessary for safe operation of the vehicle. Set the proper position
in the car to install the transceiver using the supplied supporting bracket or eventually the slide
bracket. Tighten the retaining screws. The fixing bracket must be close to metallic parts.

POWER SUPPLY

Be sure the transceiver is off. In the direct-voltage power supply, to observe the polarity is very
important, even if the unit is protected against the accidental inversion:
Red = positive pole (+)

INSTALLING AN ANTENNA

1. Place the antenna as high as possible.
2. The longer the antenna, the better will be the performance.
3. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever surface you choose.
4. Keep antenna cable away from noise sources, such as the ignition switch, gauges,etc.
5. Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground connection.
6. Prevent cable damage during antenna installation.
WARNING. to avoid damage, never operate your CB radio without connecting a proper
antenna. A periodical control of the ROS is recommended.
HOW TO OPERATE WITH YOUR TRANSCEIVER
1. Screw the microphone plug into the microphone jack.
2. Make sure your antenna is securely connected to the antenna connector.
