6) LCD background illumination [ B ]
By pressing briefly the LCD illumination toggle key ( 16 ) [ B ], the LCD back-light illumination
color switches between orange and blue. To switch off the background color, press the LCD
illumination toggle key ( 16 ) [ B ] for about 2 seconds.
To permanently store the selected background color, i.e. after turning the radio on the same
color will be displayed, press the LCD illumination toggle key ( 16 ) [ B ] for about 2 seconds.
Then turn the radio off. When you turn the radio on again, the same background color will be
displayed.
7) Modulation selection [ Mode ]
The RoadCom-FS can operate in AM or in FM modulation.However, some versions work only in
FM. When being switched on after a disruption of the supply source the unit works on channel
number 9 in FM mode which is indicated the symbol "FM". If the unit accepts also the modula-
tion type AM on the actual channel, you can toggle it by pressing the key ( 12 ) [ Mode ] between
the modulation types AM and FM. The selected AM mode will be indicated by the symbol "AM".
If the unit does not accept the modulation type AM on the actual channel, you will only hear a
receipt tone, but it remains on the modulation type FM.
If the unit is set to AM on the actual channel, and you select another channel, on which the
AM mode is inhibited, the modulation changes automatically to FM mode. If you select once
more another channel, on which the AM mode is allowed again, the modulation switches
automatically to back to AM mode.
8) Version Selection
The RoadCom-FS Multi Norm can be switched between three versions : "8040", "4040" and
"4000".
To enter the version selection mode keep pressing the Priority Channel 9/19 key ( 20 )
[ CH9/19 ] while turning the radio on. Release the key ( 20 ) when one of the three digits 1,
2 or 4 will start blinking in the display. Meanwhile all symbols except the S-Meter and signal
strength indication will disappear. The digits represent the different versions 1: 8040, 2: 4040
and 3: 4000. When you see a digit blinking in the display you can select a version by pres-
sing shortly the Channel 9/19 key ( 20 ) [ CH9/19 ] until the desired digit appears in the
display. Every pressure increases the number for one step. To confirm the selection hold the
Channel 9/19 key ( 20 ) [ CH9/19 ] or wait 5 seconds. The unit will change to the selected
version and all symbols will reappear in the display.
> In the position "4000" the unit works on the frequency band EU with modu-
lation type FM only. The transmit power is 4 W.
> In the position "4040" the unit works only on the 40 CEPT channels, but it allows on every
channel both modulation types, FM and AM. The transmit power in FM is 4 W and in
AM 1 W. In the following countries the unit is allowed to be used on every channel in both
modulation types FM and AM: Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
> In the position "8040" the unit works on all 80 German CB channels in FM mode, and 40
channels AM mode. The transmit power in FM is 4 W and in AM 1 W. The version "8040"
is allowed for use in Germany only.
Refer to the unit's passport of the "RoadCom-FS Multi Norm" for information about the per-
missions and restrictions for the use of the different versions in the different countries.

9) Transmitting
To transmit, depress and hold the key ( 4 ) [ PTT ] on the microphone ( 1 ). On the LCD, the
symbol "TX" appears, and the bar meter at the bottom of the display shows the relative trans-
mit signal strength. For best quality, speak normally at a distance of 2 - 4 inches. Speaking
too loudly will cause distortions and make the signal difficult to understand. While the set is
in the transmit mode there is no key entry possible and the receiver is muted. On completion
of the transmission release the PTT key ( 4 ) and the set will revert to receiving mode.
10) Call tone
If you press the transmit key ( 4 ) [ PTT ] and the call key ( 5 ) [ SIGNAL ] on the microphone
( 1 ) at the same time, a call tone will be transmitted and can be heard only by the partner sta-
tion, provided it is switched on the same channel and the same modulation type.
11) CTCSS [ CTCSS ] & [ SET ]
This function is only available in FM mode. The function CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded
Squelch System) allows the pointedly selection of certain radios within a selected channel.
When transmitting, a low tone (67 -300 Hz), the CTCSS code is also sent. This CTCSS code
controls the squelch of the receiving radio. Only if the transmitted CTCSS-Tone matches the
CTCSS-tone of the receiver, the squelch opens and the transmitted signal can be heard.
By default, no CTCSS code is assigned to a FM-channel. To set a CTCSS code to a FM-
channel please follow these instructions:
1. Select the FM-channel that a CTCSS code should be assigned to.
2. Hold the CTCSS key [ CTCSS ] pressed until the CTCSS symbol in the display starts blinking.
3. Assign one of the 39 available CTCSS codes (0 - 39; 0 = no code selected) with the Set
[ SET ] or CTCSS key [ CTCSS ]. Step through the CTCSS code numbers (0 - 39) until
the desired code has been reached. When using the CTCSS-key pay attention to not press
the key too long, otherwise the the setting process is aborted.
4. To confirm your selection press the CTCSS-key for approximately one second.
The CTCSS symbol stops blinking and lights constantly.
12) Last channel recall [ LCR ]
By a brief depressing on the key ( 17 ) [ LCR ] the transceiver will return to that channel and
that modulation type, to which it was adjusted, when the PTT key was pressed the last time.
The actual channel and modulation type will be stored temporarily in a register. If you press
on the key ( 17 ) [ LCR ] once again, the unit will skip back to the previously selected chan-
nel and modulation type stored in the register, provided, that you did not change the channel
and/or the modulation type in the meantime.
13) Priority Channel 9 / 19 [ CH9/19 ]
The RoadCom-FS contains the priority channels 9 and 19. Priority channel 9 is selected by pres-
sing the key ( 20 ) [ CH9/19 ] once. To set priority channel 19, press the key ( 20 ) [ CH9/19 ]
twice. When a priority channel is set, the channel and the frequency will blink in the display and
all function keys including the rotary channel selector are disabled. Only transmission and acti-
vation of the VOX function are possible. To return to the previous channel, press the key ( 20 )
[ CH9/19 ] once, if priority channel 9 has been selected, or twice, if priority channel 19 has been
set. Once returned to regular mode, all functions will be enabled again.
