property. Use Channel 9 to render assistance to a motorist. This is an FCC rule and applies to all CB operators. Microphone socket. Indicators turn on when the function is turned on. S/RF/CAL/SWR Push to to check RF signal strength, calibration, and SWR reading. Press to select CB (Citizens Band), PA (Public Address), or WX (Weather). Press and hold to turn WX Alert on and off. NOTE: Do not use the PA function unless an external speaker is connected.
Antenna socket: Connects antenna to the unit. PAPS: Connects optional external 8-ohm, 4-watt speaker for use as a public address system. NOTE: To prevent acoustic feedback, separate the microphone from the speaker when operating the PA at high output levels. EXT. SP: Connects an 8-ohm 4-watt speaker to remotely monitor the receiver. NOTE: When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is off. POWER: Connects DC power to transceiver. Fuse. PTT: Push-to-Talk. Wireless PTT Status LED.
NOTE: The wireless Bluetooth headset and the wireless PTT do not require installation. Refer to the Transmitting section, page 14, for pairing and usage information. RKCBBT INSTALLATION NOTE: Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before beginning installation. 1. Select a location that is convenient for operating the radio but does not interfere with the driver or passenger. Install bracket with self-tapping screws provided. Connect power cords (see page 10).
Power Cord Connection Road King recommends connecting the power lead to the Ignition Switch Accessory Terminal. This way, the transceiver is automatically turned off when the ignition switch is turned off. As an alternative, the power cord may be connected to an available terminal on the fuse block or to a point in the wiring harness. However, caution must be taken to prevent a short circuit. If in doubt, contact your vehicle dealer for information.
ASSEMBLING WIRELESS PTT The wireless PTT device coordinates with the Bluetooth headset to provide a simple method to initiate talking. It wraps around the gear shift with an elastic hook and loop tape closure and has a PTT key in the center of the front face that can be pressed to talk (see page 10). 1. Holding the wireless PTT with the back side facing you, thread the elastic strap through the wireless PTT from the front to the back. 2, Thread the elastic strap underneath the center of the back panel 3.
4. Adjust Squelch. «+ Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise so only strong signals can get through. «+ Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise until you hear a hiss. Everything gets through noise, weak signals, and strong signals. «+ Turn Squelch back clockwise until the hiss stops. Only clearer signals get through. NOTE: Set SQUELCH only when the radio is not receiving a strong signal. 5. Turn RF Gain to set RF gain sensitivity. 6. Press MIC Gain to toggle microphone sensitivity between High and Low.
2. Pair to Bluetooth-enabled device. NOTE: When pairing, stay within range of the Bluetooth enabled device you are pairing to {no more than 3 feet away). Verify that the headset is turned off. Hold the ON/OFF key for approximately 5 seconds. Power On sounds and the status light flashes between RED and BLUE. Find the Bluetooth settings and search for your headset on the device list. Select MARKING. If required, enter PIN code and confirm.
= Weather = Menu CB Mode CB mode lets you transmit and receive channels. You can scan channels (in CB mode and Memory mode) as well as use VOX to monitor and adjust transmission quality. Scan Mode There are three scanning modes in the RKCBBT: = All Channel Scan. The radio scans channels until it receives a signal. It will move to the next channel if no signal is received after 3 seconds. = Memory (MEM) Mode. Save channels to memory; only those channels can be selected by the Channel Selector.
NOTE: You can clear channels saved to memory but you cannot add any new channels to memory. To exit MEM Tune Scan mode, press PTT, 9/19/NORM, WEATHER, or CB/PA MEM Scan 1. In CB mode, press MESCALIN three times. MEM and SCAN display and the radio begins scanning upward through the channels saved to memory. If the radio detects a transmission on one of the channels saved to memory, it will stop on that channel.
3. Press Menorah VOX to save the selected level to Memory and display the next menu item. Anti-COX Level If you receive background audio that is loud enough, it may activate the VOX and trigger transmission. Anti-COX decreases VOX sensitivity. 1. Press VOX; V-ANTI displays in the Frequency Indicator and the current level displays in the Channel Indicator. 2. Rotate the Selector knob to cycle through the Anti-COX levels [Levels are Off and 01{high) through 20 3.
continually broadcasts weather conditions when you are in Weather mode. 1. Press CB/PA/WXWXALTuntil WX icon displays. 2. Rotate the Channel Selector knob to cycle through the 7 weather channels. Press the knob to select that WX channel. The channel number displays in the channel number area (1 7} and that frequency displays in the frequency block. NOTE: When in WX mode, AN/NB, Talk back, MIC GAIN, SRF/ CALLAS, and VOX options are not accepted. An error tone sounds if attempted.
Press and hold CB/PA/WXWXALT for one second to turn Weather Alert on. The WX LED turns on. MEMORY Mode (MEM MODE) You can select channels to store into memory and then scan only those channels. You can also clear channels from memory. NOTE: There must be channels saved into memory in order for MEM SCAN to work. Save Channels Into Memory 1. Tune to a channel in CB mode. 2. Press and hold MESCALIN until SAVE appears (about 2 seconds). 3. Release MESCALIN. 4. The radio stays on the saved channel.
