3CMX560PROFESSIONAL MOBILE CB RADIOINTRODUCTIONWelcome to the world of Citizens Band radio communications. Your Uniden radio is an advanced mobile transceiver designed for use in the Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service. It will operate on any of the 40 AM frequencies authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Your transceiver features a superheterodyne circuit with Phase Locked Loop techniques to assure precise frequency control. SAFETY NOTICEThe antenna used for this transceiver must be properly installed and maintained and must provide a separation distance of at least 16.92 inches (43 cm) from all persons and must not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Never transmit if any person is closer than the specified distance to the antenna. Note that Uniden does not specify or supply any antenna with this radio. While a 0 dBi gain antenna is normal for a typical installation, the above limit applies to any antenna with up to 3 dBi gain.CB LICENSE REQUIREMENTU.S. users no longer need to apply for a license to use a CB radio. However, CB radio is still considered a “license by rule” service. This means that, while the FCC permits CB station operation without station identification, station operators are still required to comply with the Communications Act and with the rules of CB Radio Service. (For more information on U.S. radio rules, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.)FEATURES• 40 AM Channels• Volume Control (0 - 7)

Press 9/19/LOCKorselectChannel9using▲and▼.2. Press PTT on the speaker/microphone and speak clearly. 3. If there is no response, select an active channel and ask that party to relay your emergency broadcast on Channel 9. All channels except Channel 9 may be used for normal communication. The FCC reserves Channel 9 for emergencies involving the immediate safety of individuals or protection of property. Use Channel 9 to render assistance to a motorist. This is an FCC rule and applies to all CB radio operators.INSTALLING YOUR CMX560CONSIDERATIONS• Try to keep the mounting location simple and practical. When mounted, the CB should not interfere with the driver or passengers.• Keep the wiring pathways free from interfering with the driver or passengers.• Be aware of what is on the other side of the dashboard when installing the transceiver. You do not want to drill through the dashboard into the vehicle’s electrical system.• Be sure that the speaker/microphone, once installed, is able to easily stretch to the driver without interfering with the vehicle’s controls.• If you need to improve speaker sound, connect an external speaker (not included) to the back of the unit (marked EXT. SP).
9CONNECT THE ANTENNABecause the maximum power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the quality of your antenna is very important. To achieve the maximum transmission distance, Uniden strongly recommends that you install only a high quality antenna. You have just purchased a superior radio; don’t diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer from the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. Your Uniden dealer is qualified to help you select the proper antenna for your requirements. A whip style antenna may be used for automobile installation. WARNING! The antenna used for this transceiver must be installed at least 16.92 inches (43 cm) away from all persons. The antenna must not be collocated or used with any other antenna or transmitter. CAUTION: Never operate your transceiver with no antenna or with a damaged antenna cable. This can damage the transceiver.A short “loaded” whip antenna is easier to install on an automobile, but its efficiency is less than that of a full quarter-wave whip antenna. Once your antenna is installed, tune it using a Standing-Wave Ratio (SWR) meter (not included): set it to channel 20 and adjust the antenna until the SWR is as close as 1:1 as possible. CAUTION: Make sure the SWR is less than 2:1 before using the transceiver. An SWR higher than 2:1 can damage the transmitter.Your Uniden dealer can help you select the antenna that is best for your needs.INSTALL TRANSCEIVER BRACKET Place the bracket against the location you are considering. Check the other side of the dashboard to be sure the mounting screws
10will not interfere with any internal wiring. Be sure there is enough room for the bracket AND the transceiver.1. Hold the bracket in place and use the self-tapping screws (included) to screw the bracket into place. Check the other side of the dashboard and adjust any wiring if needed.2. Hold the transceiver in place in the bracket. Screw in the side knobs, inserting rubber washers onto the screw between the bracket and the transceiver.These rubber washers serve as “shock absorbers” and help keep the unit steady.3. Connect the speaker/microphone’s RJ45 jack to the front of the transceiver. INSTALL SPEAKER/MICROPHONE HANGER1. Find a location to install the microphone hanger. Install it, using the same precautions as installing the transceiver. Adjust wiring if necessary.2. Hang the speaker/microphone onto the hanger.CONNECT POWER Uniden 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. Ground Information This transceiver may be installed and used in any 12-volt DC negative ground system vehicle.With a negative ground system, the negative (-) battery terminal is usually connected to the vehicle motor block.Connect Power1. Connect the power cord to the power connector from the transceiver.
112. Connect the red DC power cord to the Ignition Switch Accessory Terminal or the positive (+) battery terminal. 3. Next, connect the black power cord to the Ignition Switch Accessory Terminal, the vehicle chassis, or negative (-) battery terminal.4. Start the vehicle. The unit should turn on.USING THE CMX560SPEAKER/MICROPHONE LCD DISPLAYSCANBUSYMEMS/RFLOCALMHz27.18519TXMON BPHICNBThis LCD layout is for reference only.
