Vehicle Manufacturer Installation Instructions

When installing a radio in a vehicle always observe the instructions of truck and car
manufacturers. Vehicle manufacturers have the right, according to applicable EU directives,
to stipulate antenna installation locations and the maximum compatible transmission power
for their vehicles. Observe these specifications under all circumstances not to risk to forfeit
the operating license for your vehicle. Information is available from the vehicle
manufacturers. If in doubt, have the vehicle manufacturer certify that no reservations against
CB radio operation in connection with the vehicle electronics exist.
This device features the marking according to R&TTE directive:
The CE mark means that the radio satisfies all technical regulations
applicable to the product within the scope of EU Council directives,
European standards and national frequency applications. The so-called R&TTE directive
replaces all previous national "certifications" within the EU and regulates also marketing and
use of radio equipment. Accordingly ownership of and retail with properly marked devices
such as the AE 6891 within the EU and some other (non-EU) countries recognizing the
R&TTE directive, is permitted, while for the use of radio equipment depending on
programming and country temporarily different regulations apply. For CB radio this means:
although technical standards EN 300 135 and EN 300 433 apply Europe-wide, the use of
certain modulation modes and channel numbers do not. For this reason there are still
differences in the channel number programming for AM and FM, and some countries still
charge fees for CB radios. All radios, for which somewhere in Europe still limitations exist are
therefore marked with an "attention mark" (see above) besides the CE mark. The
manufacturers are bound to inform users clearly on the packaging what to observe while
using the devices.
This is insofar comprehensible, since frequencies, which earlier were approved in the
different countries for different purpose, cannot easily be uniformly reassigned.
The new CB standards were adopted in May / June 2011 by CEPT and published as
European decision ECC/DEC11(03). It can still take some time until they are adopted by all
countries.
AE 6891 satisfies the harmonized European radio standards EN 300 433-2 and EN 300 135-
2 for CB radios, as well as EN 301 489-13 for electro-magnetic compatibility and EN 60 950-
1: 2006 / AC: 2011
interferences and is on the other hand irradiation-resistant when used according to this user
manual. This is generally the case when cables not longer than 3m are connected to the
microphone and speaker jacks.
Electro-magnetic waves as transmitted by broadcasters, mobile phones and radios can affect
other sensitive electronic devices in their immediate vicinity. As a precaution we recommend
for persons with pacemakers to collect information with respect to the interference immunity
of their pacemakers before operating a CB radio for the first time. Although in most cases the
CB radio output is quite safe, no harm is done to talk to your physician first. Please note that
you are in the immediate proximity of the transmission antenna, especially during mobile
operation. Please keep safety distances if they are recommended by your physician or by the
pacemaker's manufacturer! Do not transmit without the antenna connected and never touch
the antenna during transmission!
During vehicle operation traffic safety is the absolute priority!
Even if radio operation such as your CB radio in Germany is exempt from the so-called
"mobile phone ban", and you may use your AE 6891 while driving, only reach for the
microphone when the traffic permits! Please note that in many other countries no exceptions
