and dangers.
• If you are a motorist, you will also have to observe the respective road traffic regulations during radio transmission. An
intercom device is absolutely necessary, if you are using radio transmission while driving.
• Observe the safety instructions and conditions imposed by both the vehicle manufacturer and the automobile business.
• We reserve the right to change technical data and design without prior notice.
• Servicing, adjustment, or repair works must only be carried out by a specialist/specialist workshop.
• Should you have any questions that are not answered in this operating manual, please contact our technical customer
service, or other experts.

Commissioning

Before commissioning, the prescribed use, the purpose of use as well as the safety instructions and
technical data are to be observed. Check whether the device is suitable for the case of application for
which you want to use it.

Installing a CB radio antenna

The antenna is one of the most important parts of the equipment. 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 antenna cable should not be damaged and the plugs should be satisfactory connected.
• Make sure that the antenna cable is not bent too strong.
• The bigger the mechanical size of the antenna, the higher the range of operation.
When you install a mobile antenna please note the following advice:
• The antenna should be fixed in the centre of a bigger part of the coachwork.
• The mobile antenna coil should have the closest possible contact with a conductive metallic surface of the bodywork of the car.
16
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, for example mounting the antenna onto the gutter, mounting 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.

Antenna 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 ( 22 ) [ANT] 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 operation.
Improper connections might damage the device and reduce the working range considerably.
The matching can be carried out by a length adjustment of the antenna radial for a minimal 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

Always mount the transceiver where the switches are easy accessible. Important aspects for the correct mounting position
are:
• no interference of the roadworthiness,
• good access of the controls of the car,
• sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating of the radio in transmit mode.
• no direct insulation
Please take into account that the LED-display is only good readable from a certain angle. An intensive solar radiation can also
affect the readability of the display. So it is recommended to check the best position before the final installation. The unit can
easily be fixed onto different positions in the car by using the enclosed mounting bracket.

Microphone

Plug the microphone into the 6 pin socket ( 19 ) on the front panel. Note it will only go in one way round. No transmission and
receiving is possible without the microphone. The pin assignment of the GDCH standard microphone plug is given below:
PIN 1 Modulation Pin assignment :
PIN 2 Speaker Solder side view of the microphone
PIN 3 PTT connector or top view of the microphone
PIN 4 UP/DOWN plug
PIN 5 Ground
PIN 6 +12 Volt
The MC-8 ( CV mobil 80 ) Multi Norm is available with 2 different microphones, i.e. either the standard microphone DM-
106S equipped with channel selection and signal tone or the VOX microphone DM-106VOX with channel selection and VOX
