M ONLY WARNING! Before using, be careful never to transmit without first having connected the antenna (connection situated on the adapter) or without having set the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) ! Failure to do so may result in destruction of the power amplifier, which is not covered by the guarantee. MULTI-NORMS TRANSCEIVER! See function “F” on page 12 and the Norms - F table on page 21. The guarantee of this transceiver is valid only in the country of purchase.
b) Mobile antenna - - Must be fixed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of metallic surface (ground plane), away from windscreen mountings. If you already have a radio-telephone antenna installed, the CB antenna should be higher than this. There are two types of antenna: pre-regulated which should be used on a good ground plane (e.g. car roof or lid of the boot), and adjustable which offer a much larger range and can be used on a smaller ground plane (see § 4, Adjustment of SWR).
- - Press the «push-to-talk» switch on the microphone to transmit. Bring the index needle to by using the calibration key. Change the switch to position SWR (reading of the SWR level). The reading on the Meter should be as near as possible to 1. If this is not the case, re-adjust your antenna to obtain a reading as close as possible to 1. (An SWR reading between 1 and 1.8 is acceptable). It will be necessary to re-calibrate the SWR meter after each adjustment of the antenna.

- If there is no channel (besides the priority channel) in the list the scanning is not be able to be set on. Press A/F(6) button 3 seconds again to stop the scan, the radio go back to the previous channel before scanning started. Note: During the scanning, if P (7) is pressed, it will stop scanning and go to the priority channel. 6) PRIORITY EMERGENCY CHANNEL “CH 19” is emergency channel for this operating mode. - Press P (7) button to go to the priority channel. The display will show “ ” icon.
11) ROGER BEEP - This function is used to remind the partner, when the TX is off (PTT button is released), the radio will beep to confirm to other users that your transmission has finished. Press F (3) + s (8) buttons to turn the ROGER BEEP tone on, “ ” icon is displayed. Press F (3) + s (8) buttons to turn off this function, “ ” icon disappears. 12) DUAL WATCH (SCAN) - This function is used to scan the operating channel and “Priority Emergency Channel”.
Selecting level - - > Start position Press F (3) + t (5) buttons to set the Squelch Level. > SL 01 is displayed and “Sq ” icon is blinking. Press s (5) or t (8) buttons for selecting Squelch Level from oF to 06. Press F (3) button to save the Squelch Level setting and go to Battery Saving setting mode. Press any other button except s (5) or t (8) to return to operating mode. 13.2 BATTERY POWER SAVE - - > Start position Press F (3) + t (5) buttons to set the Squelch Level.
13.4 ANL FUNCTION - Press SQ (4) and release to alternate ANL on/off. When ANL is on “AL" is displayed. Note: This function is able to operate in AM mode only. 14) BATTERY INDICATOR The icon shows the capacity of the battery. When the battery capacity is low, the icon is displayed and the red LED start to blink. NOTE: If the Beep Tone function is set on, a beep tone warns every 10 second, otherwise no beep tone from the speaker.
REMOVE (See the figure 2) 2-1: To remove the battery pack, pull down the release latch on bottom. 2-2: Slide the battery pack away form the transceiver. 19) Frequency Display It is possible to set Frequency Display function on or off. When active, at standby mode, press F (3) button shows the frequency of the channel.
G) TROUBLE SHOOTING 1) YOUR CB RADIO WILL NOT TRANSMIT OR YOUR TRANSMISSION IS OF POOR QUALITY - Check that the antenna is correctly connected. Check that the SWR is properly adjusted (RANDY II M - Mobile Option only). Check that the programmed configuration is the correct one (see table page 21). 2) YOUR CB RADIO WILL NOT RECEIVE OR RECEPTION IS POOR - Check that the squelch level is properly adjusted. Check that the programmed configuration is the correct one (see table page 21).
