GENERAL NOTES
1. FUSE
Aspare
fuse can be obtained from
your
VOLVO
dealer.
2.
ANTENNA
Your VOLVO is equipped with a broadeast an-
tenna
which
should not be utilized. However, a
high quaiity VOLVO CB antenna should be in-
stalled which, with
proper
care. will provide ex-
cellent
mobile performance. This antenna has a
flexible mast
which
can be easily removed and
placed inside the ear when necessary (ear wash-
es, long term parking, etc.
).
Never
operate
the CB
portion
of
the radio uniess
the antenna is in place and
fully
extended, as
operating
the transmitter
without
a
proper
load
can cause serious damage.
For optimum transmitter performance the CB an-
tenna mast should be
completely
vertical. The
angle
of
the antenna may be adjusted at the base
if it should become necessary. If the antenna
mast is bent
or
damaged it can and should be
replaced by obtaining a new mast from
your
VOLVO dealer. If the mast is replaced. the tip
length must be adjusted
alter
installation on the
vehicle using a standing wave ratio (SWR) meter
to
obtain
optimum
performance. Uniess the ve-
hicle
owner
has the
proper
equipment and is fa-
miliar
with this procedure, this operation should
be carried out by a VOLVO
dealer
or
qualified
radio shop. The VOLVO CB antenna (properly
adjusted) provides performance equ
al
to
or
bet-
ter
than most CB antennas
of
similar length be-
cause
of
its top loaded design. Only a full
quar-
terwave
whip
antenna can be
expect
ed to
pro-
vide a performance improvement but the
owner
should carefully
consider
·the disadvantages such
as appearance and length before
deciding
on
such a substitution.
3.
MEMORY BACK-UP
To prevent them from being extinguished the
channels are stored in the memories. You should
connect
memory-back-up
power
lead to fuse
position. By
doing
this, if the
unit
is turned
off
but
not
disconnected
, the memory will
continue
to
keep the channels that have been stored. The
unit
will
automatically
return to the last channel
used, when the radio is turned on.
WARNING:
If you are
going
to leave
for
a long period
of
time,
you should
disconnect
the
microphone
to pre-
vent draining the
car
's battery.
