Before First Use

• Carefully remove the Handheld UHF CB Radio from its packaging. If there is any visible damage, do not attempt to operate it. Contact our after sales support centre for advise using the details on the bottom of the page.

• Your new Handheld UHF CB Radio comes with a rechargeable

Li-Ion battery ready installed. Before first use, fully charge the battery for 10 to 14 hours with the unit turned off while charging.

When the battery status icon flashes and "bA low" shows on the LCD, the battery capacity is low and you need to recharge the battery.

Charging the Battery

The AUHR-014 must be used with its original charger base and

AC adaptor or car adaptor.

• Make sure the unit is turned off.

• Connect the jack of the AC adaptor or the car adaptor to the socket at the back of the charger base. Make sure the jack is fully and firmly inserted into the socket.

• Connect the AC adaptor to the mains power supply or the car adaptor to the car cigarette lighter socket. The LED indicator on the charger base will turn green.

• Place the unit into the charger base. The LED indicator on the charger base will turn RED and the battery charging symbol will flash on the LCD display.

• Once the battery is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn green. Unplug the adaptor and store it safely. Turn the unit on.

Turn the page for some important notes about recharging.

The charger base is not waterproof, ensure the radio is dry before connecting it to the charger.

FAQs

Problem Solution

No power • Ensure the battery pack is installed properly.

• The battery pack may need recharging, see p. 9.

Weak reception

• The receiving signal may be weak and/or out of range. In this case, use the MONITOR function.

Cannot change channels

Limited range

Sound distortion problems

• To change channels, press the ON/OFF button repeatedly until the channel number flashes on the LCD. Then press / to change channels.

• Recharge the battery pack if there is a low battery alert.

• Recharge the battery pack if there is a low battery alert.

• The maximum range will vary depending on terrain and environment. Open fields provide the maximum range while steel/concrete structures, heavy foliage and use in buildings and in vehicles may limit the range significantly.

• Wearing the radio close to the body, such as in a pocket or on a belt, will decrease the range.

Change the location of the radio.

• If you are transmitting, speak in a normal voice,

5–7cm away from the microphone. If you are receiving, set the volume to a comfortable level.

• If the radios are too close to each other, increase your distance; they must be at least 1.5m apart.

• The radios may be too far apart, or obstacles may interfere with transmission. The talk range is up to 10km in clear, unobstructed conditions.

CHANNEL SPACING

This product is made to the new standard 2011 version. There are possible operational issues during the changeover from the old version 25kHz to the new version of 12kHz channel spacing. They include the consequences of narrowband (with 2.5kHz deviation) transmissions being received on the old wideband equipment, and wideband (with 5.0kHz deviation) transmissions being received on newer narrowband equipment.

There is a possibility of interference due to the older equipment being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband channels. The list of currently authorized channels can be obtained from the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New Zealand.
