the use of radio installations there are still different rules, depending on the programming and the
country. For CB radios this means: the latest technical standard EN 300 433-2 in version 1.3.1 and
the latest CEPT / ECC regulation ECC DEC (11) 03, since autumn 2011, are valid Europe-wide,
but the regulations are not yet transferred into national regulations in all countries. So there are still
differences in the programming of the channel numbers in AM and FM and still some countries
charge license fees for CB radios. All radios, for which there are somewhere in Europe restrictions,
have beside the CE sign also an "Alert Sign" sign (see last page). All manufacturers have been
obliged to inform their users noticeable on the package and in the manual, what they have to follow
while using the device.
This is in so far understandable, because the frequencies were used for different objects in every
country and so it takes a while to harmonize all those different frequencies.
The AE 6690 achieves the for CB radio harmonised European radio-standards EM 300 433-2 and
EN 300 135-2 as well as EN 301 489-13 for the electromagnetic compatibility and EN 60 950-1:
nd
2006, 2 edition for the electric safety. So this device does not transmit any harmful radio
interference and is on the other side also immune to radiations from other devices, if it is used as
intended. In generally this is the case, if you do not connect any cables to the microphone- and
loudspeaker jack which are longer than 3 m.
Our recommendation: if you use your radio with the AM-programming, please consider the
licence conditions and restrictions (see radio passport) mentioned above seriously! You risk a
possible penalty or other sanctions. In Germany the "Bundesnetzagentur" is responsible for
potential special permits in border areas. In bigger cities you find the address of the responsible
branch office either in the telephone directory or you ask in the central office of the
"Bundesnetzagentur": 0049-6131-180.
Safety Instructions
Users with pacemakers are recommended as a precaution to consult their doctor before operating
the CB radio. Not all types of pacemakers are sufficiently protected from radiation from a nearby
transmitter, so do not assume it is safe to start operation without checking! Please remember that
you are in the immediate vicinity of a transmitting aerial, particularly when used as a mobile. If your
doctor, or the manufacturer of the pacemaker, has recommended keeping a certain safe distance
from the aerial, then please follow their instructions!
Do not transmit without connecting the aerial and never touch the aerial during transmission!
Please also take road safety into account! CB Radio (even when only receiving, particularly when
volume is turned up) can divert your attention from the road! Road safety is of course to be given
priority! Therefore only use your ALBRECHT AE 6690 when the traffic situation enables it to be
used safely.
