RANGE
The range of your hand-held transceiver will vary depending on conditions. Factors
such as antenna, terrain and battery charge all affect range. To insure maximum range,
always keep fully charged batteries in the unit. As voltage decreases, it directly affects
range. Though higher in initial cost than other types, Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable
Batteries are recommended. They can be recharged hundreds of times.
CHANGING OR INSTAlliNG
NEW CRYSTALS
Your AX 55 comes with Channel 14 installed in Channel 1 position. You can use any
6 channels of the 40 alloted to CB Band. Do not attempt to use non-standard crystals
or to make any internal adjustments to your AX 55. Such is prohibited by the FCC
and result in illegal operation, for which you may be liable and may be fined. Therefore, replacing and/or installing crystals must be made by or under supervision of the
holder of an FCC issued let or 2nd class radio operator license. Following information
is provided only for such license holders.
1. Remove the rear cover from the transceiver.
2. Insert transmit crystal into the dual pin socket marked TX-2 to TX-6 (see below).

socket. If the crystals are reversed, the unit will transmit on one frequency
and recieve on another, both of which will be outside the citizens band,
resulting in illegal operation.
