Installation of the radio
You can either operate your ALBRECHT AE 4200 R in the car or at home as a base
station. For installation as a mobile station in the car, a mobile mount device is
enclosed. Mount the set in such a way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight if
possible, as this would lead to an increase in the temperature and can decrease the
(set’s) working life. The set should also not be installed near a heater. Mount the set
in such a way that it is exposed to as little vibration as possible.
The mobile fixing device should be attached to the dashboard, the tunnel slot or to
any other suitable place using the enclosed tapping screws. Do not install the set in a
place where it could cause injuries in the case of an accident (be careful to ensure
free leg movement). Take care not to damage any underlying wires during
installation!
Then insert the radio into the mobile mount device. Secure the set with the large
knurled screws (using the enclosed plastic washers) firmly at the required angle.
Also mount the microphone hanger using the enclosed screws in an easily-
accessible place.
In order to prevent interference to the vehicle electronics from transmission in the
vehicle, please make sure to take any mounting instructions from the vehicle
manufacturer for radios and antennas into account.
Please note: European directives allow the car manufacturers to decide, whether or
not private radio transceivers may be operated in cars, this is also valid for antenna
installations. Please install Your mobile CB station only in accordance to car
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Power supply
Your AE 4200 R receives power from the 2 pin fixed power cable.
The red and black wires in the cable are for the power supply. The cable has a
looped-in fuse.
You can choose from two methods when connecting to the power supply (red and
black):
Example 1
The radio should be able to be switched on and off at any time using the
volume / on/off switch.
Connect up the red to the positive pole on the vehicle battery (or elsewhere
in the vehicle’s electrical system with permanent plus) or to a 12 volt power
unit.
Connect up the black wire to the negative pole on the vehicle battery or the
power unit or to a well-conductive part of the car body.
