The installation of the antenna
To use the radio you need an antenna that operates in the frequency 26-
28MHz.
To install and calibrate the antenna, consult a specialized technician.
Usually, the antenna must be positioned on the highest part of the vehicle,
without being shielded by obstacles and as far as possible from any electrical
source or electromagnetic noise. The coaxial cable of the antenna must not be
interrupted or pressed. Connect the plug on the end of the antenna coaxial
cable to the antenna plug on the back of the radio.
Testing the radio
Once the radio is installed and powered, test its correct operation:
• Check that the radio is powered correctly
• Check the antenna connection to the radio
• Connect the microphone to the jack on the front panel of the radio
• Turn on the radio by turning the volume knob clockwise and adjusting the
volume to the desired level.
• Select the desired channel using the UP/DOWN keys on the microphone.
Note: in Romania channel 22 is used

(Instructions on activating and adjusting the ASQ/SQ function can be
