WARNING
To use the radio, please connect the antenna to the location "B" on the
back panel of the equipment firstly and then set the SWR (Standing
Wave Ratio) before transmitting. Failure to do so may result in
destruction of the power amplier, which is not covered by the guarantee.
RESET FUNCTION (Resume Factory Default)
This Radio introduces RESET FUNCTION to prevent accidents
and provide a solution for customers who changed some functions
unconsciously and do not know how to resume normal settings. The
Radio will resume factory default once this function is activated.
How to operate:
Step 1: Power off the radio.
Step 2: Press and hold FUNC and SCAN keys at the same time,
followed by powering on the radio.
Step 3: Release the two keys when LCD displays "RES".
All former settings would be replaced by Factory Default value when
LCD displays "REND" .
WARNING: All former settings would be replaced by Factory Default
value after operating the RESET FUNCTION.

INSTALLATION
1. WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR RADIO
a) You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple and
practical point of view.
b) Your radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.
c) Remember to provide different wires for passing and protection.
(e.g.: power, antenna, accessory cabling) so that they do not in any
way interfere with the driving of vehicles.
d) To install your equipment, use the cradle (1) and the self-tapping
screws [2] provided (drilling diameter 5 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 [3] between the radio 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.
2. ANTENNA INSTALLATION
a) Choosing your antenna:
For radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your
dealer will help you with your choice of antenna.
b) Mobile antenna:
- Must be xed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of metallic
surface (ground plane), away from windscreen mountings.
- 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.
For 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 atten 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 xed antenna should be installed in a space as clear as possible.
If it is xed to a mast, it will perhaps be necessary to secure it (you
should seek professional advice).

WARNING: Never replace the original fuse (10A) by one of a different
value.
4. BASIC OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE USING
YOUR SET FOR THE FIRST TIME (without transmitting or using
the <<Push-To-Talk>> switch on the microphone)
5. ADJUSTMENT OF SWR (standing wave ratio)
WARNING: This must be carried out when you use your radio for
the first time (and whenever you re-position your antenna). The
adjustment must be carried out in an obstacle-free area.
Adjustment with a built-in SWR meter or external SWR meter
a) To connect the SWR meter
Connect the SWR meter between the radio and the antenna as
close as possible to the radio (use a maximum of 40 cm cable).
b) To adjust the SWR meter
- Set the radio to channel 20@D band in FM.
- Put the switch on the SWR meter to position CAL or FWD.
- 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 1. If
this is not the case, re-adjust your antenna to obtain a reading
as close as possible to 1. An SWR reading between 1 and 1.8 is
acceptable.
- It will be necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after each
adjustment of the antenna.
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
e) Adjust the volume to a comfortable level
f) Go to channel 20@D band by using either the UP or DN key on
the microphone or the rotary knob.
Your RADIO 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 continued current of 12
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 24/12 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 12 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 radio to a permanent (+) and (-).
We advise you to connect the power cable directly to the battery
(as the connection of the 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 radio.

6. HOW TO USE INTERNAL SWR METER
- Set to channel 20@D band in FM.
- Press <<push-to-talk>> button on the microphone to transmit.
- At the moment, LCD would display SWR value which should be
as close as possible to 1. If this is not the case, re-adjust your
antenna to obtain a SWR value as close as possible to 1 (an
SWR reading between 1 and 1.8 is acceptable).
