This simple to use radio adopts the latest advances in technology, providing reliable communication in today’s demanding communication environment. Notices to the User: When condensation occurs inside the transceiver: ·Condensation may occur inside the transceiver when the room is warmed using a heater on a cold day or when the transceiver is quickly moved from a cold location to a warm location. • When condensation occurs,the microcomputer and /or the transmit/receive circuits may become unstable,resulting in transceiver malfunction. • If this happens,turn OFF the transceiver and wait for a while. • When the condensed droplets disappear,the transceiver will function normally. Do not touch the metal surface of the transceiver while it is in use. Do not mount the transceiver such that the chassis can come in contact with skin. High temperatures may burn your skin. PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and/or transceiver damage: • Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving; it is simply too dangerous. • Be aware of local laws pertaining to the use of headphones/headsets while driving on public roads. If in doubt, do not wear headphones while mobiling. • Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods; the transceiver may overheat. • Do not modify the transceiver unless instructed by this manual or other COVALUE documentation. • Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight nor place it close to heating appliances. • Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty,humid or wet areas, nor on unstable surfaces. • If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately. Contact a COVALUE service station or your dealer. • This transceiver is designed for a 12 V power source. Never use a 24 V battery to power the transceiver.
SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES After carefully unpacking the transceiver, identify the items listed in the table below. We recommend you keep the box and packaging for shipping. Accessory Qty Microphone (DTMF Mic) 1 DC power cable(Blade) 1 Fuse(Blade) 1 Mounting bracket 1 Screw set 1 Microphone hanger 1 Instruction manual 1 CHAPTER 1 PREPARATION MOBILE INSTALLATION To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight. 1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws (4), flat washers (4), and Spring washers (4). The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw long hole positions on the side of the mounting bracket are towards The rear of the bracket. 2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws (4) and flat washers (4). Double check that all hardware is tightened to prevent
vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver. Determine the appropriate angle of the transceiver, using the 3 screw hole positions on the side of the mounting bracket. MOBILE OPERATION The vehicle batter y must have a nominal rating of 12 V. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V batter y. Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle batter y that has sufficient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission, or transmit output power may drop excessively. 1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicle's batter y terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver. If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.
We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondar y (high voltage) ignition system/ cables. 2 After the cable is in place, wrap heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture and tie down the full run of cable. 3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative (–) batter y terminal before Connecting the transceiver. 4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the power cable to the batter y terminals; red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black connects to the negative (–) terminal. Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess e v e n i f t h e c a b l e i s l o n g e r t h a n r e q u i r e d . I n particular,never remove the fuse holders from the Cable. 5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal. 6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver's power supply connector. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks
REPLACING FUSES If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized CSI Dealer or an authorized CSI service center for assistance. Fuse Location Fuse Current Rating Transceiver 15 A Supplied Accessory DC Power Cable 20 A Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle batter y is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the batter y may become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions. ANTENNA CONNECTION Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a 50Ωimpedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed Line that has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the
antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 Ωreduces the efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS EXTERNAL SPEAKER If you plan to use an external speaker, choose a speaker with an impedance of 8 Ω. The external speaker jack accepts a 3.5 mm (1/8") mono (2-conductor) plug. MICROPHONE For voice communications, connect a 600 Ω microphone equipped with an 8-pin modular plug into the modular
socket on the front of the main unit. Press firmly on the plug until the locking tab clicks. Attach the supplied microphone hanger in an appropriate location using the screws included in the screw set. PC CONNECTION 1 To utilize the optional PC programming software, you must first connect the transceiver to your PC using an optional Programming Cable (via the rear DB15 connector). Note: Ask your dealer about purchasing a Programming Cable. YOUR FIRST QSO Are you ready to give your transceiver a quick tr y? Reading this section should get your voice on the air right away.
