Antenna Installation - TTI TCB-5289 Manual De Usuario

WARNINGS
Please read the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury or the radio destruction.
Do not attempt to adjust the radio while driving; is dangerous.
This radio is designed for power supply at 13.8V DC. Do not use a 24V battery to power the radio.
Do not place the station on an excessively dusty, damp or unstable surface.
Do not connect the antenna during transmission, risk of burning or electric shock.
Please keep distance from devices that cause interference (such as TV, generator, etc.)
People who use pacemakers are advised to keep distance from the antenna during transmission and
especially not to touch it.
Do not connect metal objects to the internal electrical side; danger of electric shock.
Avoid exposing the radio to temperatures below -30°C and above + 60°C, the temperature on a vehicle
may sometimes exceed 80°C, which can cause irreparable damage to electric devices. Do not expose the
radio to sunlight.
Do not place anything on the radio, it will prevent it from cooling down.
Check to see if you have enough charged battery to avoid rapid discharge.
It is important to stop the radio before starting the engine, to avoid damage caused by high starting voltage.
You must use a 2A 250V fuse type F. Under no circumstances use a higher value.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected as coming from the radio, switch off the appliance immediately.
Do not transmit for a long time, the radio may warm up.
Keep the station away from children.
OTHER WARNING:
Before connecting or using this product, please read these operating instructions carefully. Keep this manual
for future reference.
Before using the radio, please connect the antenna, then check the SWR before transmitting. A too high SWR
can cause demage to the CB final output transistors, which is not covered by the warranty.
The radio does not includes components that can be repaired by the user. Please contact an authorized
service center.
To prevent the risk of fire, use only a suitable power supply.
INSTALL THE CB RADIO
• For installation, choose a location as simple and practical as possible.
• The radio station should not disturb the driver or passengers.
• The power and antenna cables should not disturb the driver while driving.
• To install the radio, use the holder and the self-adhesive screws included in the package (4 mm diameter
of drilling). Be careful not to damage the car's electrical system when drilling the dashboard.
• Do not forget to insert the rubber joints between the radio and its support as these have a shock-absorbing
effect which permits gentle orientation and tightening of the set.
• Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the microphone cord must stretch to
the driver without interferingwith the controls of the vehicle.
• If you install the radio in-board, to improve the sound quality, we recommend installing an external speaker
(the EXT SP connector on the rear panel)

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

• When choosing an antenna, keep in mind that the longer the antenna, the better its results
• Mount the antenna on the dome of the vehicle, on a metal surface
• If you already have a radio antenna installed, the CB antenna must be higher than this one
• There are two types of antennas: the pre-calibrated ones that should be installed on a surface with a good
ground plane and the adjustable ones that cover a larger frequency range and which can be installed on
a smaller ground plane.
