In case of problems

You cannot transmit or can only transmit in poor quality:
Check the standing wave ratio of your antenna and the supply line for any breaks or loose
contacts.
Check whether the microphone is connected properly and that the connection does not have
any loose contacts.
When you press the transmit key on the microphone, TX must be displayed and your
transmitter must transmit. When you release the key, this display must disappear again and
your radio device must switch to receiver again.
You do not receive a response to your transmission or the reception is poor:
Set the SQUELCH controller correctly!
Set the VOLUME controller to a suitable reproduction volume.
Check whether the microphone is connected properly and that the connection does not have
any loose contacts.
Check the standing wave ratio of your antenna and the supply line for any breaks or loose
contacts.
Make sure that you are using the same operating mode (AM or FM) as your conversation
partner!
The displays do not light up:
Check your power unit: is it switched on?
Have you reversed the connections for positive (= RED) and negative (= black)? If this is the
case, swap the connections around.
Tips for radio communication:
In order to enjoy uninterrupted radio communication, you should take the following six rules of
CB radio to heart:
1. After switching on the device, always listen first to determine whether the channel is free.
2. To do so, open the squelch so that you do not miss stations transmitting with a weaker
signal.
3. Only start your own call if the channel is completely free.
4. Only ever transmit brief calls.
5. Listen carefully after every call to hear whether a station responds. Do not repeat the call
until you have done so.
6. Always wait a few seconds after each transmission from the outstation before speaking
yourself so that other stations can also respond ("switchover pause").
Call channels
We recommend the following call channels:
Channel 1 (FM) as call channel in FM,
Channel 4 (AM) as call channel in AM,
Channel 9 (AM) as emergency channel and trucker channel
Channel 19 (FM) as long distance driver channel abroad
It is of course possible to deviate from this.
In case of poor connections or heavy interference it is often problematic to properly transmit
words which are difficult to understand, such as proper names and place names.
