supply as a base station. This device complies with the latest European CB standards. Due
to its selectable CB standards it can be used throughout Europe. Please select only a CB
standard that is allowed in the country of use. For details see the Albrecht Radio Passport at
the end of this manual.

Installation

Select the mounting location so that road safety is not affected by the device, or additional
risk of injury in an accident arises. Check that the display can be seen, and the controls can
easily accessed.
Please only use the original microphone on the CB radio, otherwise the proper functioning of
the VOX hands-free function could not be guaranteed.

2.1 Power Supply

Fuse
A fuse in the power cable protects against damage caused by technical defects or incorrect
polarity. If this fuse is blown, first eliminate the error and then replace the blown fuse with a
similar spare fuse (5 AF). If the fuse burns several times, please send the radio to our
service.
Car Operation
The red wire of the power cable must be connected to the positive terminal (+12 V), the
black wire to the negative terminal. If possible the radio should be connected directly to the
vehicle battery, because this is the point with the least interference from the car's electrical
system. The device can also be connected behind the ignition switch. All settings of the AE
6110 VOX are stored in a nonvolatile memory.
Operation with AC Adapter
Operate your radio only at a stabilized radio power supply, which is capable to provide at
least 2A at 12 -13.8V DC. A well suitable power supply is Albrecht article no. 47500.
Unregulated power supplies or battery chargers are unsuitable and can cause damage.
Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply, the black wire to the
negative (-) terminal of the power supply.

2.2 Antenna Connection

Connect the CB antenna to the ANT socket on the back of your AE 6110 VOX. The antenna
must be tuned to the CB radio band. For this use a SWR meter. For a good radio range, the
SWR should not exceed a value of 2. A high SWR also points to defects in antenna, cable, or
a short circuit in the antenna line. Never transmit without connected antenna!
Note: The radio antenna is to be mounted from other antennas and interference
sources as much as possible. CB antennas must be mounted usually in or on metal
surfaces. A sufficiently large metal surface is essential for the function of the antenna.
For installation on a fiberglass cabs or plastic wind deflectors, special ground less
antennas (eg GL 27) can be used
