Installation of a CB antenna
The antenna is an important part of a cb mobile radio system. The type of antenna and its
location has a great effect on the range of operation. Please consider the following criteria for
selecting the best location and installation of your antenna:
> Make sure that the antenna is designed for radio operation on 27 MHz.
> The location of the antenna should be as high as possible without any obstacles nearby.
> The aerial cable should not be damaged and the plugs should be properly connected.
> Make sure that the antenna cable is not bent too much.
> The bigger the mechanical size of the antenna, the higher the range of operation.
When you install a mobile antenna please note the following advices:
> The antenna should be fixed in the center of a bigger part of the coachwork.
> The mobile antenna coil should have the closest possible contact with a conducting metallic
surface of the bodywork of the car.
There are also some other possibilities to fix the antenna onto the car without the necessity
to drill a hole into the bodywork of your car, e.g. mounting the antenna onto the gutter, mount-
ing the antenna onto a holder on the cover of the boot or using an antenna with a magnetic
foot or using a windscreen antenna.
For base-station operation we recommend a stationary antenna on the roof, for example the
TEAM ECO 050 or ECO 200.
> Please don't mount the CB antenna nearby a radio or TV antenna to prevent interference
of radio or TV reception.
> Keep an eye on power lines running along nearby when mounting the antenna on the roof.
" DANGER "
> The base-station antenna has to be connected via a lightning arrester.
> All connected cables including the antenna cable must not exceed a length of 3 m.
Aerial Connection
Before pressing the transmit key, a suitable aerial must be connected. The PL259 plug of the
aerial cable ( coax ) is connected to the SO239 socket (24) on the rear panel. Make sure, that
all plugs are firmly tightened and properly soldered. Unsatisfactory connections can damage
the radio and will reduce the range of operation.
The antenna should be matched with the radio, otherwise a part of the transmit power will be
reflected at the antenna and will not be radiated. This causes also a drop in the range of oper-
ation. The matching can be carried out by a length adjustment of the antenna radial for a mini-
mal SWR ratio which can be measured by a SWR meter (e. g. TEAM SWR 1180P). After the
measurement, the SWR meter should be removed from the antenna line.

Installation in the car
When you want to install the unit into your car, you can install it below the dashboard with the
included mounting bracket set. Always mount the transceiver where the switches are easily
accessible. Please consider for determining the correct mounting position:
> no interference of the roadworthiness,
> good access to the controls of the car,
> sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating of the radio in transmit mode.
Please consider that the readability of the LC display (1) depends on the angle of view. Also,
an intensive solar radiation affects the readability of the display. Please check the best posi-
tion before the final installation.
Microphone
Included in the scope of delivery is the VOX microphone DM-3006. The VOX feature offers voice
operated signal transmission which is useful in the application of communication while driving a vehi-
cle. It allows to switch between the operation modes VOX and PTT which stands for push-to-talk.
The DM-3006 is equipped with the following elements:

VOX-Sensitivity
The required signal strength to trigger automatic transmission is set with VOX sensitivity.
There are four levels available.
A long push of the key [ ] ( 17 ) activates the set mode for VOX-Sensitivity. It is confirmed by a
long tone and blinking of the LED.
A short push of the key selects the next level. The four different levels are distinguished by the num-
ber of tones that are emitted. For the greatest sensitivity select the level 1 (one tone is emitted).
A confirmation of the setting is not required.
VOX-Delay
The gap between the signal end and the end of the transmission can be changed with the setting
VOX-Delay. There are four levels available.
A long push of the key [ ] ( 18 ) activates the set mode for VOX-Delay. It is confirmed by a long
tone and blinking of the LED.
A short push of the key selects the next level. The four different levels are distinguished by the num-
ber of tones that are emitted. For the greatest sensitivity select the level 1 (one tone is emitted).
A confirmation of the setting is not required.
Plug the microphone plug (20) into the 6pin socket (15), located on the front panel, and thighten
the union nut. Pay attention to proper placement. No transmission nor reception is possible
without the microphone.
