This is insofar comprehensible, since frequencies, which earlier were approved in the different
countries for different purpose, cannot easily be uniformly reassigned.
The new CB standards were adopted in May / June 2011 by CEPT and published as European
decision ECC/DEC11(03). It can still take some time until they are adopted by all countries.
AE 6790 satisfies the harmonized European radio standards EN 300 433-2 and EN 300 135-2 for
CB radios, as well as EN 301 489-13 for electro-magnetic compatibility and EN 60 950-1: 2006 for
electric safety. The device does not transmit harmful radio interferences and is on the other hand
irradiation-resistant when used according to this user manual. This is generally the case when
cables not longer than 3m are connected to the microphone and speaker jacks.
Safety Precautions
Electro-magnetic waves as transmitted by broadcasters, mobile phones and radios can affect other
sensitive electronic devices in their immediate vicinity. As a precaution we recommend for persons
with pacemakers to collect information with respect to the interference immunity of their
pacemakers before operating a CB radio for the first time. Although in most cases the CB radio
output is quite safe, no harm is done to talk to your physician first. Please note that you are in the
immediate proximity of the transmission antenna, especially during mobile operation. Please keep
safety distances if they are recommended by your physician or by the pacemaker’s manufacturer!
Do not transmit without the antenna connected and never touch the antenna during transmission!
During vehicle operation traffic safety is the absolute priority!
Even if radio operation such as your CB radio in Germany is exempt from the so-called “mobile
phone ban”, and you may use your AE 6790 while driving, only reach for the microphone when the
traffic permits! Please note that in many other countries no exceptions are made for CB radios. As
the driver you are not permitted to operate a radio while driving, unless you have a hands-free kit.
Enquire after the respective regulations before driving in other countries!
