3. Installation
TCB-560 transceiver is designed to have a good performance in any
conditions that the transceiver operates, using rugged build chassis,
PCB’s and components. This transceiver is also designed for users’
convenience, implementing human ergonomics to locate the knobs
and buttons in the proper places. The combination of well designed
knobs and buttons as well as user friendly graphic layouts will lead
users to quickly adapt themselves for the easy operation. The newly
applied menu mode will make professional users more satisfactory
with pleasure. The elegant and luxury blue LED light supporting the
face design will go well with any vehicles.
This instruction manual has been designed to enable you to get the
best use from your CB Transceiver, therefore you are recommended to
take a few minutes to read this instruction manual before initial use of
your CB Transceiver.
Your transceiver is supplied with a full range of accessories to help you
get started and virtually benefit from all the features straight away.
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone first, which is most
convenient for the operation. The transceiver should normally be
mounted horizontally, but may be mounted vertically. The bracket
supplied can be fitted above or below the case allowing the TCB-560 to
be cradled by the bracket or suspended from it.

TCB-560

Consider that this location of the transceiver should not interfere with
the driver and passengers. Choose a spot where the microphone and
all controls are easily accessible.
1)
2)
3)
Put the mounting bracket on the proper location where you are
going to install.
Drill holes and fix mounting bracket on the location.
Connect the antenna cable plug to the standard receptacle
on the transceiver, which is marked "ANT".
4)
Connect the power cable directly to the vehicle battery or fuse box
of the car. Be careful to make sure of the polarity of the battery first
and connect the cable.(Red: Positive Pole(+), Black: Negative Pole(-).
The same colours are shown on the battery and in the fuse box of
the car.)
5)
6)
Mount the microphone bracket on one side of the transceiver, or
near it using two screws included.
Connect the microphone to the transceiver’s microphone
receptacle.Now you are ready to operate the transceiver.

ENGLISH
Installing An Antenna
It is very important to select a good quality high efficiency 27MHz
antenna. A poor quality antenna or one not designed for the
27MHz band will give very poor performance and could cause
damage to the transceiver.
Warning : Never try the operation of your transceiver before
connecting a proper antenna in order not to cause any damage.
Place the antenna as high as possible.
The longer the antenna is, normally the better is the
performance of the transceiver.
Try to mount the antenna in the centre of the surface that you
select.
Make sure that you have a solid metal-to-metal ground
connection.
Be careful not to damage the cable during the installation.

5) AM/FM and Scan Button
AM/FM In many a band mode like EU,I,D and etc. (where
national regulations permit this) this button allows user
to switch between AM and FM modes by momentarily
pressing the button. When the transceiver is used in
UK,UE or EC band mode, this button generates an error
beep.
Scan : Press and hold this button to start scanning upward to catch any
channels that are occupied by others.
To activate/deactivate the channel scan, press and hold the Scan
button. The Scan icon will appear when the channel scan is active.
Scanning will only stop when you deactivate the scan function.
The transceiver will scan through the whole transceiver channels. If
your transceiver detects a valid signal the scan will pause for the period
that has been set by the menu mode setting (continuously receiving or
1-99 seconds for scan receive time and immediate response or 1-99
seconds for scan delay time).
If you press the PTT button when your transceiver detects a signal, the
radio will transmit on the same channel. Scanning will resume after the
scan receive time and/or the scan delay time. Use the up/down buttons
to resume scanning immediately.
If you press the PTT button during scanning, the radio will return to
your original channel. Scanning will resume after the scan receive time
and/or the scan delay time. Use the up/down buttons to resume
scanning immediately.

Manual Mode : Turn this knob counter-clockwise until you hear the
background noise(but before click sound to enter the automatic
squelch mode) and then turn the knob a little clockwise until the noise
disappears. In this way, you get the best receive sensitivity.

2)
Switch off the transceiver.
Pressing the AM/FM button
and the Emergency/Backlighting
button, switch on the transceiver.
This will reset the transceiver, so all the memories are erased and
the parameters return to the initial factory setting.
This should fix most problems. In case of further difficulty, please
consult your dealer or visit our website.
If this does not solve the problem, reset your transceiver as follows.
If you experience problems with your TCB-560 transceiver, first
check the power supply source. Poor connection of the power
supply source can cause problems such as no transmission, no
reception or poor reception, and weak or no sound. Ensure that the
microphone and antenna are also well connected.
