Introduction

The Micro Il can be operated as a mobile station in a car or with a suitable DC power supply as a base station. This device complies with the latest European CB standards. Due to its selectable CB standards, it can be used throughout Europe. Please select only a CB standard that is allowed in the country of use.

Features

• Multi-standard device
• Up/ASQ/Downkeyss on the microphone
• Channel Scan
• LCD, S-Meter
• ASQ Automatic squelch, adjustable

• Socket for external loudspeaker

Installation

Select the mounting location so that road safety is not affected by the device, or additional risk of injury if an accident arises. Check that the display can be seen and the controls can easily be accessed.

Power Supply

• Fuse: A fuse in the power cable protects against damage caused by technical defects or incorrect polarity. If this fuse is blown, first eliminate the error and then replace the blown fuse with a similar spare fuse (5A). If the fuse burns several times, please contact your supplier.
• Car Operation: The red wire of the power cable must be connected to the positive terminal (+12 V), the black wire to the negative terminal. If possible the radio should be connected directly to the vehicle battery, because this is the point with the least interference from the cars electrical system. The device can also be connected behind the ignition switch.
• Operation with AC Adapter: Operate your radio with a stable power source, that is capable of providing at least 2A at 12-13.8V DC. Unregulated power supplies or battery chargers are unsuitable and can cause damage. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply, and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the power supply.

Antenna Connection
Connect the CB antenna to the ANT socket on the back of your Micro II. The antenna must be tuned to the CB radio band. For this use a SWR meter. For a good radio range. The SWR should not exceed a value of 2:1. A high SWR also points to defects in the antenna, cable, or a short circuit in the antenna cable. Never transmit without a connected antenna!
Note: The radio antenna is to be mounted away from other antennas and potential interference sources as much as possible. CB antennas must be mounted on a metal surface sufficiently large enough for the antenna to function correctly.

2. Press microphone [UP] or [DN] shortly to change the SQ level
3. Hold microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the SQ level fast.
4. Hold [SQ] or wait for 3 seconds to store and exit.

Note: Higher SQ levels require a stronger signal to open the speaker and hear the calling.

ASQ control (9 levels)

1. Hold [SQ] key, until LCD displays AQ, the ASQ function is turned on. The LCD will display “A.X”, X stands for the ASQ level.
2. Shortly press microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the  ASQ level
3. Hold microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the ASQ level fast fast
4. Hold [SQ] or wait for 3 seconds to store and exit.

Note: Higher ASQ levels require a stronger signal to open the speaker and hear the calling.

Modulation Type

1. Shortly press the A/F] key to switch between AM /FM mode.
2. The LLCDsthe selected mode.

RF Gain control

1. Shortly pressing the [RFG] key, the LCDs R, and the present RF gain level flashes.
2. Shortly press microphone [UP] or [DN] to change the level of attenuation.
3. Shortly press the [RFG] key to exit RF gain level control.

Note: When the RFG function is on, the LCDs “R”, if RFG level 6 is selected it means the attenuation is 6 dB

Emergency Channel

1. Shortly press the [EMG] key to choose CH9 and the channel number flashes.
2. Shortly press the [EMG] key again to choose CH19 and the channel number flashes.
3. Shortly press the [EMG] key a third time to return to the last normal channel.

Key Lock
