AE 6891 Transmission
For CB radio the old basic principle applies: first listen, and then talk.
After selecting a channel for chatting to a partner, first listen for a moment “into the channel”
to find out if it is free! Or simply ask if the channel is free!
Press the large PTT button on the side of the microphone (Push-To-Talk) to toggle between
receiving and transmitting:
• Press the PTT button to transmit. TX illuminates on the LCD.
•
At the end of your message
release
the button to return to receiving.
Do not talk too loud into the microphone! Experience shows that most CB rookies are talking
much too loud into the microphone. Newcomers should briefly train with the PTT button: first
press the button and start talking only half a second later, since the transmitter needs a
moment to turn on. Release the button after finishing your message. Wait for the answer
coming from your counterpart! The switching time is for this device design-related, since two
processors (in the detachable control panel and in the main unit) must communicate. Your
counterpart‘s CB radio also needs some time to switch over and to be ready to receive.
All Functions Available via the Control Panel
Contrary to other devices with many functions, for the AE 6891 we attached importance to
the fact that every button only operates
exactly one function
. The number of dual functions
with FC (function button) + respective other button is reduced to a minimum. This simplifies
operation and everything can be grasped in short time without constantly referring to the user
manual.
• All functions are printed directly on or next to the backlit buttons.
• The activated function is shown on the display.
Only the functions RB, M1 to M4 and LOC printed in white right to the buttons need the FC
button to be briefly pressed in addition before the actual function.
