CB Radio
AE 6110 VOX
User Manual

Introduction

The AE 6110 VOX can be operated as a mobile station in a car or with a suitable DC power supply as a base station. This device complies with the latest European CB standards. Due to its selectable CB standards, it can be used throughout Europe. Please select only a CB standard that is allowed in the country of use. For details see the Albrecht Radio Passport at the end of this manual.
Features:

• Multi-standard device
• Up/Down keys on the microphone
• VOX hands-free function
• LCD display, S-Meter
• ASQ Automatic squelch, adjustable
• Socket for external loudspeaker

Installation

Select the mounting location so that road safety is not affected by the device, or additional risk of injury in an accident arises. Check that the display can be seen, and the controls can easily be accessed.
Please only use the original microphone on the CB radio, otherwise, the proper functioning of the VOX hands-free function could not be guaranteed.

Power Supply

Fuse
A fuse in the power cable protects against damage caused by technical defects or incorrect polarity. If this fuse is blown, first eliminate the error and then replace the blown fuse with a similar spare fuse (5 AF). If the fuse burns several times, please send the radio to our service.
Car Operation
The red wire of the power cable must be connected to the positive terminal (+12 V), the black wire to the negative terminal. If possible the radio should be connected directly to the vehicle battery, because this is the point with the least interference from the car’s electrical system. The device can also be connected behind the ignition switch. All settings of the AE 6110 VOX are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Operation with AC Adapter
Operate your radio only at a stabilized radio power supply, which is capable to provide at least 2A at 12 -13.8V DC. A well suitable power supply is Albrecht article no. 47500. Unregulated power supplies or battery chargers are unsuitable and can cause damage. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply, the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the power supply.

Antenna Connection

Connect the CB antenna to the ANT socket on the back of your AE 6110 VOX. The antenna must be tuned to the CB radio band. For this use an SWR meter. For a good radio range, the SWR should not exceed a value of 2. A high SWR also points to defects in the antenna, cable, or a short circuit in the antenna line. Never transmit without a connected antenna!
Note: The radio antenna is to be mounted from other antennas and interference sources as much as possible. CB antennas must be mounted usually in or on metal surfaces. A sufficiently large metal surface is essential for the function of the antenna. For installation on fiberglass cabs or plastic wind deflectors, special ground-less antennas (eg GL 27) can be used.

Controls

Front View

Operation

Power On/Off the radio

1. Turn VOL switch clockwise to power on the radio, the LCD displays the CB stain followed by the channel number.
2. Turn the VOL knob counterclockwise, until it clicks. The radio is powered off.

Volume control

Turn clockwise to increase volume and turn counterclockwise to decrease volume.

Channel Selection

1. Shortly press microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the working channel.
2. Hold microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the working channel fast.

Squelch level control (28 levels and off)

1. Shortly press [SQ], until LCD shortly displays “SQ” and then displays X.X, X.X stands for the SQ level.
2.  Press microphone [UP] or [DN] shortly to change SQ level
3. Hold microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the SQ level fast.
4.  Shortly press [SQ] or wait for 3 seconds to store and exit.

Note : Higher SQ levels require a stronger signal to open the speaker and hear the calling.

ASQ control (9 levels)

1. Hold [SQ] key, until LCD displays AQ, the ASQ function is turned on. The LCD will display “A.X”, X stands for the ASQ level.
2. Shortly press microphone [UP] or [DN] to change ASQ level
3. Hold microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the ASQ level fast.
4. Shortly press [SQ] or wait for 3 seconds to store and exit.
5. To turn off the ASQ function press and hold the [SQ] key until the “AQ” marker in the display disappears.

Note: Higher ASQ levels require a stronger signal to open the speaker and hear the calling.

Modulation Type AM/FM

1. Shortly press [A/F] key to switch between AM /FM mode.
2. The LCD displays the selected mode.

Scan function

1. Hold [A/F] to start scan function, “SC” flashes in the LCD.
2. Press microphone [UP] or [DN] to change scan direction during scan.3. Press the [PTT] key or hold [A/F] to exit the scan function.

VOX free-hands function

1. Shortly press the [VOX] key to activate the VOX function.
2. The LCD shows if activated.

VOX settings (sensitivity / delay time)

1. Long press [VOX] key, in the display, is blinking. You can now set the VOX sensitivity (in 9 levels) with [UP] or [DN] on the microphone.
   L.1 = low sensitivity, VOX reacts only to very loud voices
   L.9 = high sensitivity, VOX reacts already to quite voices/sounds

2. Press [VOX] again to set the VOX delay time in 9 levels.
   The VOX delay time determines the time after which the automatic VOX transmissturns off without any sound being detected.
   t.1 = short delay time, the automatic transmission cuts off quickly.
   t.9 = high delay time, the transmission cuts off after about 4.5 seconds.

3. Long press [VOX] again to save all changes.

Emergency Channel

1. Shortly press [EMG] key to choose CH9, the channel number flashes.
2. Shortly press [EMG] key again to choose CH19, the channel number flashes.
3. Shortly press [EMG] key third time to return to last normal channel.

RF Gain control

1. Long press [EMG] key, LCD displays R and the present RF gain level flashes.
2. Shortly press microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the level of attenuation.
3. Long press [EMG] key to exit RF gain level control.

Note: When RFG function is on, the LCD displays “RFG”, if RFG level 6 is selected it means the attenuation is 6 dB

Changing the CB-Standard
