This transceiver corresponds to the requirements of European directives R&TTE and answers the European
standards of telecommunication EN 60950-1, EN 301 489-1/-15 et EN 301 783-1/-2.
IMPORTANT : This receiving transmitter works on not free frequencies in the use. The user has to possess a
radio license amateur radio (certificate of radio operator HAM) to use it (in emission) and only on the frequencies
authorized in radio amateurs.
Thank you for choosing this CRT vehicle transceiver CRT always provides high quality products,Though friendly
design for user, this transceiver is technically complicated and some features may be new to you. Consider this
manual to be a personal tutorial from the designers, allow the manual to guide you through the learning process
now, then act as a reference in the coming years.
PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, or transceiver damage.
Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving, it is dangerous.
This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V DC power supply. Don't use a 24V battery to power on the transceiver.
Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty, humid or wet areas, nor unstable surfaces.
Do not connect the antenna while transmission, risk of burn or electric shock.
Please keep it away from interferential devices (such as TV, generator etc.) devices (such as TV, generator etc.)
For those fitted with pacemakers are advised to move away from the antenna during transmission, mainly in high
power, and especially do not touch it.
Never allow metal objects or son electrical contact with the part or internal electrical connection to the risk of
electric shock.
Avoid exposing the transceiver to temperatures below -30 ° C. and above +60 ° C, the temperature of the dash-
board inside a vehicle can sometimes exceed 80 ° C, which can damage irreparable damage to your machine in
case of prolonged exposure. Not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or place it near heaters.
Do not place anything on top of the apparatus that would interfere with cooling
Check that your battery is sufficiently charged to avoid rapidly exhausting its resources.
It is important to turn off your device before starting the vehicle to avoid damage caused by spikes in the ignition.
When replacing the fuse, you must use a fuse 10A 250V type F
In no case a higher value!, Otherwise a fire hazard.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, turn OFF the power immediately.
Contact an CRT service station or your dealer.
Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods; the transceiver may overheat.
Keep out from children.
Attention:
· Before using your transceiver please connect an antenna on the connector PL on back side then check the
SWR before emitting. A too important SWR can entail the destruction of the transistors of power which are not
