GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The use of the citizen band radio service is licenced in Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation is subject to conditions contained within these licences.
2. Always listen on a channel (or observe the channel busy indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.
3. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.
4. In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and 35.
5. No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23 (voice operation is inhibited on these channels).
6. The user of this UHF CB communications device shall not transmit Selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds during any 60 second period.
7. UHF CB repeaters extend the operational range of your radio. Repeaters operate utilising two channels (repeater input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation on locally used repeater input channels (in the channel range of 31 to 38 and 71 to 78) or locally used repeater output channels (in the channel range of 1 to 8 and 41 to 48), unless long distance communication via the repeater is specifically required. See the section on repeater operation (ADVANCED MANUAL) for more information. viii Please be aware that the UHF CB network may experience possible operational issues during the changeover to narrowband. This transceiver operates on 12.5 kHz channel spacing. During the changeover period from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz spacing, there may be some loss of quality when 12.5 kHz (narrowband, 2.5 kHz deviation) transmissions are received on 25 kHz (wide band, 5.0 kHz deviation) equipment, and vice-versa. There may also be interference due to older equipment being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband channels, as the channel setting on these may cause some ‘overlap’. A list of currently authorised channels can be found on the ACMA website (Australia) and on the MED website in New Zealand.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS

• DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE!! NEVER touch an antenna or antenna connector while transmitting. This could cause an electrical shock or burn.
• DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.
• DANGER! NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may be obstructed during mobile operations.
• WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.
• WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
• WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver and microphone with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver and microphone.
• WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
• WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
• CAUTION: DO NOT reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could damage the transceiver.
• CAUTION: DO NOT cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
• CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver and microphone to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver and microphone may be damaged.
• CAUTION: DO NOT set the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may be damaged.
• CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• CAUTION: DO NOT use the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –30°C or above +60°C, or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
• CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver.
• CAUTION: DO NOT use the non-specified microphone. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
• DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to transmit.
• DO NOT allow children to play with any transceiver equipment containing a transmitter.
• DO NOT operate the transceiver for extended periods without running the vehicle’s engine. The transceiver’s power consumption may soon exhaust the vehicles battery.
• DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
• DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
• BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time.
• MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before connecting any supplied/optional equipment.

This device complies with Standard Australia Specification No. AS/NZS 4365-2011.
