Do not connect the antenna during transmission, risk oburning or electric shock.
Please keep distance rom devices that cause intererence (such as TV, generator, etc.)
People who use pacemakers are advised to keep distance from the antenna during transmission
and especially not to touch it.
Do not connect metal objects to the internal electrical side; danger of electric shock.
Avoid exposing the radio to temperatures below -26°C and above +80°C, the temperature on a
vehicle may sometimes exceed 80°C, which can cause irreparable damage to electric devices. Do not
expose the radio to sunlight.
Do not place anything on the radio, it will prevent it rom cooling down.
Check to see if you have enough charged battery to avoid rapid discharge.
It is important to stop the radio beore starting the engine, to avoid damage caused by high starting
voltage.
You must use a 2A 250V fuse type F. Under no circumstances use a higher value.
Ian abnormal odor or smoke is detected as coming rom the radio, switch othe appliance
immediately.

INTRODUCTION
The PNI HP-62 is a small portable transceiver which guarantees great performance for many years of
use. What is unique to this innovative transceiver is the capability to select any of European CB bands
with an easy and quick procedure. The PNI HP-62 has built-in Channel Phase Loop synthesizer (PLL)
circuit and an automatic battery economy circuit.
Important Note!
Some countries may require you to own or purchase a CB license – please check with the
relative authorities in your country.

FUNCTION AND LOCATION OF THE CONTROLS
1. Antenna connection:x a compatible antenna (not included in the package). To get better
perormance, you can use an external antenna that plugs into the included adapter.
2. Squelch Control: This function allows to reduce background noise of the station. By rotating the
button to the right, the unction becomes active. By rotating the button to the let, the unction becomes
inactive. The button should be set precisely to the position where the background noise disappears.
3. ASQ key: briey press this key to turn on the backlight othe screen. When the screen light is on,
press again to turn othe backlight. By long pressing this key, enter the ASQ mode. While you are in
ASQ mode, briey press this key to enter the ASQ level adjustment mode, the current level oSquelch
will blink. Use the Q.UP/Q DOWN keys to change the ASQ level (there are 5 levels available). Also in
ASQ mode, briey press the ASQ key twice to turn oor turn on the backlight othe screen.
4. ON/OFF and Volume Control key:
Rotate this knob to the right to turn on the radio. Turn slightly to the right to adjust the volume.
5. Microphone jack: Connect a headset with a microphone
6. External speaker jack: Connect a headset with a microphone
7. Belt clip
8. Multifunction backlighted display
This liquid crystal display has been projected to show the operative modality:
a. The EMG function is active
b. Selected channel number (1 to 40)
c. Lock: The key lock function is active
d. BATT: Low battery indicator
e. AM/FM mode
f. SC: The SCAN function is active
g. DW: DUAL WATCH function
h. PS: The Power Save unction is active. Ino key is pressed or 5 seconds, the radio enters the power
saving mode.

l. Frequency band selected
m. ASQ unction available
9. EMG key: briey press this key to enter emergency mode 9/19; the EMG icon will blink
10. A/F-LCR key: to select AM or FM mode; the modulation you are setting will be displayed on the
screen. Iyou select a requency that operates only in the FM band, the A/F-LCR key will activate the
Last Channel Recall (LCR)
11. Microphone: During the broadcast, hold the microphone at a distance o4 cm rom the mouth and
speak using a normal tone of voice.
12. RFG Key: briey press this key, on the screen “R 00” will show up; “00” will ash. Press the Q.UP/Q
DONW keys to select one othe 9 levels (00, 06, 12 ... 54); press this button again to conrm and exit.
Note: We recommend to disable RFG function (or level 06 for louder areas).
13. Lock key: It allows you to lock the keyboard, thus avoiding accidental use othe keys.
14. Q.UP-Q.DOWN keys: To skip 10 channels up (Q.UP) or 10 channels down (Q.DOWN)
15. Loudspeaker
16. Dual Watch: This unction allows the synchronization on two dierent channels at the same
time.Thanks to this unction, you can monitor a second channel. When a signal on the second channel
is received, the conversation on the rst channel is automatically interrupted and the receiver switches
on the second channel. The monitoring starts again 4 seconds after the signal end.
TO activate this unction, operate as ollows:
- Select the desired channel through the channel selector
- Press the DW button
- Select the second channel
- Press the button DW again
- To cancel the function press again the DW button or the PTT button
17. SCAN key: you can automatically search for a busy channel
• Turn the squelch clockwise until the background noise is no longer heard.
•Press the “SCAN” button: the transceiver will scan automatically all the channels until a carrier is
being received.
•When it nds the carrier, it stops and starts again some seconds ater the end othe communication
on the channel.
•When the radio is transmitting, the scan unction is deactivated.
18. Key : when in the SQ mode short press this button, turn on the background ligh, short press this
button again, to turn othe ligh, long press this button will enter ASQ, in ASQ mode, short press the
button to turn on the background ligh and short press again will turn othe light.
19. Push to talk button (PTT): Its pressure activates the transmission. When it is released, the receiver
is activated.
