WARNING
Please install the antenna (connect to the location (B) in the back panel of the radio) and
set the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) before transmitting. Otherwise it may result in des truc -
tion of the power amplifier, which is not covered by the guarantee.
Welcome to use
CRTS8040 is a Multi-norms and multi-function CB radio which provides you with top
performance.
With the use of SMT technology to guarantee the best stability, reliability and unprece d -
ented quality, is a new communication and is surely the
bes t choice for professional users of CB radios. Moreover, it adopts flash CPU in the radio,
which makes ready for future upgrading and functions expand
ing. To ensure
that you use the radio to the fullest, please read this manual carefully before installing.

INSTALLATION
Where An How To Mount Your Mobile CB Ra io
A) You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple and practical point of
view.
B) Your CB radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.
C) Remember to provide different wires for the passing and protection (e.g.: power,
antenna, accessory cabling) so that they do not in any way interfere with the driving of
vehicles.
A) To install your equipment, use the cradle (H) and the self-tapping screws (E) provided
(drilling diameter 4 mm). Take care not to damage the vehicle’s electrical system while
drilling the dash board.
E) Do not forget to insert the rubber joints (G) between the CB and its support as these
have a shock-absorbing effect which permits gentle orientation and tightening of the
set.
F) Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the microphone
cord must stretch to the driver without interfering with the controls of the vehicle.
G) As the transceiver has a frontal microphone socket, it can be set into the dash board.
You will need to add external loud speaker to improve the sound quality of communi -
cations(connector ext. SP situated on the back panel (D).
Ask your dealer for advice on mounting your CB radio.

Antenna Installation
a) Choosing antenna:
– or CB radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your dealer will help you
with your choice of antenna.
b) Mobile antenna:
– Must be fixed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of metallic surface (ground
plane), away from windscreen mountings.
– If you already have a radio-telephone antenna installed, the CB antenna should be
higher than this.
– There are two types of antenna: Pre-regulated antenna which should be used on a good
ground plane (e.g. car roof or lid of the boot), and adjustable antenna which offer a much
larger frequency range and can be used on a smaller ground plane.
– or an antenna which must be fixed by drilling, you will need a good contact between
the antenna and the ground plane. To obtain this, you should lightly scratch the surface
where the screw and tightening star are to be placed.
– Be careful not to pinch or flatten the coaxial cable (as this runs the risk of break down
and/or short circuiting).
– Connect the antenna to location (B).
c) Fixed antenna:
A fixed antenna should be installed in a space as spacious as possible. If it is necessary
for you to fix the antenna to a mast, you need to keep it as per the requirements of the
laws in force (please turn to professional advice).

Power Connection
This is protected against an inversion of polarities. However, before switching it on, you
are advised to check all the connections. Your equipment must be supplied with a con ti -
nued current of . 2 volts (A). Today, most cars and lorries are negative earth. You can
check this by making sure that the negative terminal of the battery is connected either to
the engine block or to the chassis. If this is not the case, you should consult your dealer.
WARNING: Lorries generally have two batteries to supply a voltage of 24 volts, in which
case it will be necessary to insert a 24/. 2 volt converter into the electrical circuit. The
following connection steps should be carried out with the power cable disconnected
from the set
a) Check whether the battery is of . 2 volts.
b) Locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red and – is black).
Should it be necessary to lengthen the power cable, please use the same or a superior
type of cable.
c) It is necessary to connect your CB to a permanent (+) and (–). We advise you to connect
the power cable directly to the battery (as the connection of the CB cable to the wiring
of the car-radio or other parts of the electrical circuit may, in some cases, increase the
possibilities of interference).
d) Connect the red wire (+) to the positive terminal of the battery and the black (–) wire to
the negative terminal of the battery.
e) Connect the power cable to your CB radio.
WARNING: Never replace the original fuse (5A) by one of a different value.
Basic Operations
a) Connect the microphone.
b) Check the antenna connections.
c) Turn the set on by turning the volume knob clockwise.
d) Turn the squelch knob to minimum ( ull-anti clockwise).
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
f) Go to channel 20@EC by using either the [∫] or [√] key.

A justment Of SWR (Stan ing Wave Ratio)
WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your CB radio for the first time (and
whenever you re-position your antenna). The adjustment must be carried out in an
obstacle-free area
Adjustment should be operated with external SWR meter.
a) To connect the SWR meter
Connect the SWR meter between the CB radio and the antenna as close as possible to
the CB radio (use a maximum of 40cm cable)
b) To adjust the SWR meter
- Set the CB to channel 20@EC band in M
- Put the switch on the SWR meter to position CAL or WD
- Press the <<Push-To-Talk>> switch on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to by using the calibration key.
- Change the switch to position SWR (reading of the SWR level)
The reading on the meter should be as near as possible to . . If this is not the case,
re-adjust your antenna to obtain a reading as close as possible to . .
(An SWR reading between . and . .8 is acceptable).

HOW TO USB YOUR CB RADIO
Front panel
. ) OFF/VOLUME
a) To turn the set on, turn the knob (. ) clockwise.
b) To increase the sound level, turn the same knob further clockwise.
2) SQUELCH
Manual Squelch: Turn the Squelch knob (2) clockwise to the exact point where all back-
ground noise disappears. Please note that this control is fine regulation, if you set this
Squelch control to the maximum (fully clockwise), the radio can only receive the strongest
signal.
3) Microphone Jack
Connect a six pin microphone supplied with radio.
4) LCA

6) AM/FM
Modulation Mode selection: This key (6) [AM/ M] allows selecting the AM or M modula-
tion. Your modulation mode has to correspond to the one of your correspondent.
With the version ull Multi Norm in the norm UK, your can switch between the EU band
and the UK band, which is indicated by symbol "EU" or "UK", by pressing the key (6)
[AM/ M ]. The CB band EU consists of the 40 CEPT channels.
The CB band UK consists of 40 channels starting from 27.60. 25 MHz to 27.99. 25 MHz.
7) CH9/19
It contains the priority channels 9 and . 9, press the key (7) [CH9/. 9] once to select priority
channel 9, press the key (7) [CH9/. 9] again to set priority channel . 9.
8) [√] key (DN key on the microphone)
Channel down; selected channel downward.
9) [∫] key (UP key on the microphone)
Channel up; selected channel upward.
All channels can be selected by channel selector keys (8) or (9). The selected channel is
displayed on the LCD. In communication both transceivers (the receiving and transmitting
party) need to be in the same channel and under same modulation type.
. 0) SCAN
Press the key (. 0) [SCAN] to enable the SCAN function. Before enabling the SCAN
function, firstly turn the SQ control clockwise till the background noise is cut out.
Then press the key (. 0) [SCAN], radio will automatically scan all channels and the SC icon
will appear on the LCD.
When a signal is detected on a channel, scanning stops on this channel. You can receive
the calling, and also, can transmit on this channel by pressing PTT key. If there is no trans-
mission or detected signal on that channel within 5 seconds, radio will start scanning
again. To exit the SCAN function, press the SC key or the PTT key.
. . ) PTT (on the microphone)
To transmit, press and hold the key (. . ) [PTT] and the TX icon will appears on the LCD.
or best quality, please speak normally at a distance of 2 - 4 inches.
Speaking too loudly will cause distortions and make the signal difficult to understand.
On completion of the transmission release the PTT key and the radio will revert to
receiving mode.
