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.
WARRANTY
Volvo Radios are warranted for 12 months from
the date of purchase and/ or installation. The war-
ranty covers the repair or exchange of any radio
component or material. If service becomes ne-
cessary, contact your nearest Volvo dealer.
